Post-Game: Phillips soars as Stockton wins its seventh in a row
According to Wikipedia, Matthew Phillips is “a Canadian professional ice hockey centre currently playing for the Stockton Heat of the American Hockey League (AHL), as a prospect for the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League (NHL).”
First of all, he’s been playing on the right wing for Stockton. Second of all, that intro fails to mention that he might, in fact, be good. Very good, even.
Citation needed? Well, how about this: Phillips helped the Heat claw out of a 2-1 deficit on Wednesday by scoring both the game-tying goal and the game-winning goal. He’s scoring at a pace of nearly two points every game, having recorded 13 points in his last seven contests.
