Phillips was recalled from AHL Manitoba on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips' promotion comes as Colin Miller (lower body) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. The 24-year-old Phillips played in three NHL games with the Blackhawks last year, earning one goal, but he would be making his 2025-26 debut if he gets into Tuesday's game versus the Islanders.

Phillips was placed on waivers by the Jets on Tuesday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips has played in 56 regular-season games over the last four years, all with the Blackhawks, in which he has tallied two goals and 10 assists. With the blueliner hitting waivers, he figures to start the campaign with AHL Manitoba. It likely will come down to Ville Heinola and Haydn Fleury for the final roster spot Opening Night against the Stars on Oct. 9.

Phillips signed a two-year contract with the Jets on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips was dealt to the Jets in January from Chicago and was sent to AHL Manitoba, where he generated three goals and five assists in 39 outings. The 23-year-old played 56 NHL games with the Blackhawks across parts of four seasons, scoring twice and adding 10 assists. He is well down the depth chart on the Jets' blue line and is likely to spend most of the season, if not all of it, with the Moose.

Phillips was traded to the Jets from the Blackhawks on Wednesday in exchange for Dmitry Kuzmin, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips has significantly more NHL experience than Kuzmin, having logged 56 games for the Blackhawks over the last four seasons. In those outings, the 2020 fifth-round pick managed two goals and 10 assists while averaging 15:60 of ice time. With Colin Miller (neck) seemingly close to returning, it seems unlikely Phillips will be brought up to the NHL roster any time soon.

Phillips was returned to AHL Rockford on Monday, per Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips has one goal, three shots on net, four blocked shots and three hits in three NHL outings this season. He hasn't earned a point in two minor-league appearances during the 2024-25 campaign. The demotion of Phillips could bode well for the availability of Alec Martinez (groin) ahead of Thursday's road matchup against Seattle.

Phillips scored a goal and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips has played in back-to-back games, with T.J. Brodie sitting out both times. The 23-year-old Phillips is limited to third-pairing minutes and likely won't score enough to help in fantasy -- his goal Sunday was the second of his 55-game career. He can chip in some non-scoring production after logging 56 hits, 36 blocked shots and 22 PIM over 33 contests in 2023-24, but there's not a lot of upside in his game yet.

Phillips was recalled from AHL Rockford on Tuesday, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips will likely serve as Chicago's seventh defenseman while Alec Martinez (groin) works his back from injury. The left-shot Phillips hasn't registered a point through two games with the IceHogs this season. The 23-year-old logged six assists and a minus-26 rating with Chicago across 33 regular-season games in 2023-24.

Phillips was reassigned to AHL Rockford on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips has yet to play at the NHL level this season. In a corresponding move, goalie Drew Commesso was called up, suggesting there may be an injury concern in Chicago's crease. Phillips could be back with the NHL club at some point, but the 23-year-old's development is better served by playing in the AHL.

Phillips was called up by the Blackhawks on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips has no points and five PIM in one game with AHL Rockford in 2024-25. He split the 2023-24 regular season between Chicago and Rockford, recording six assists and 22 PIM in 33 outings with the Blackhawks as well as four goals, 14 points and 20 PIM in 29 appearances with Rockford. Alec Martinez (groin) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Phillips might draw into the lineup Thursday versus San Jose, but it wouldn't be surprising if he ends up being a healthy scratch.

Phillips was assigned to AHL Rockford on Thursday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips began the regular season on Chicago's 23-man roster, but he didn't appear in the team's season-opening loss to Utah. He'll head to the minors after Wyatt Kaiser (illness) was activated from injured reserve Thursday.
