However, this will not be Phillips’ first game in the National Hockey League (NHL), as he played three games with the Calgary Flames between 2020 and 2023. However, he has not yet recorded points in the Bettman circuit.

The 5’7″ forward is also the lightest offensive or defensive player in NHL history. Among goalkeepers, the prize goes to Roy “La Crevette” Worters. Between 1925 and 1937, the 5’3″ and 135 lb masked man wore the colors of the Pittsburgh Pirates, the New York Americans and the Montreal Canadiens.
