Impact 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 regular-season games. The 23-year-old played 56 NHL games with the Blackhawks across parts of four seasons, soring 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.

Jets acquire defenceman Isaak Phillips from Blackhawks | Winnipeg Jets Phillips was a fifth-round pick by the Blackhawks in 2020 NHL Draft

JANUARY 15, 2025 • NHL.COM

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

Impact Phillips has significantly more NHL experience than Kuzmin, having logged 56 games for the Hawks 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.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

Sent down Friday Phillips was reassigned to AHL Rockford on Friday.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned from AHL Phillips was called up by the Blackhawks on Thursday.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

Makes 23-man roster Phillips is listed on the Blackhawks' 23-man roster Monday despite passing through waivers.

Impact Phillips' spot on the roster should probably be considered tenuous at best, as he almost certainly will be re-assigned to AHL Rockford once fellow blueliner Wyatt Kaiser (illness) is cleared to return. Even with Phillips as an option, he is unlikely to break the Opening Night lineup and figures to watch the Hawks face Utah on Tuesday as a healthy scratch.

OCTOBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Waived by Chicago Phillips was placed on waivers by Chicago on Sunday, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Phillips will be let go since NHL rosters are due Monday, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him remain with the organization if he clears waivers. Wyatt Kaiser (illness) was recently placed on injured reserve, so Phillips could play a role with Chicago early in the season if the team is able to retain him.

Pens two-way pact Phillips signed a one-year, two-way contract with Chicago on Monday.

Impact Phillips had four goals and 14 points in 29 regular-season contests for AHL Rockford in 2023-24 before adding two assists in four playoff outings. The 22-year-old defender collected six helpers, 31 shots on goal, 36 blocked shots and 56 hits across 33 regular-season contests with Chicago last campaign. Phillips will probably start the 2024-25 campaign in the minors but could be among the first call-ups if the Blackhawks need defense reinforcements.

Moved to AHL Phillips was moved to AHL Rockford on Friday in what's believed to be a paper transaction, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Impact Phillips is expected to be recalled before Saturday's game against Washington. He has six assists and 22 PIM in 33 outings with Chicago in 2023-24.

Sneaks in apple Phillips supplied an assist in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers.

Impact Phillips has posted six assists against a minus-20 rating through 28 games. The 22-year-old frequently shuffles between AHL Rockford and the parent club, as the Blackhawks have had to compensate for injuries on the blue line, including a knee issue for Nikita Zaitsev, who's been on injured reserve since Jan. 17. Barring another call-up from the minors, Jarred Tinordi (lower body) -- who was a game-time call against the Rangers but ended up sitting out -- is the lone threat to steal playing time from Phillips once he's fully recovered.

Impact Phillips was called back up when the Blackhawks placed Kevin Korchinski on the non-roster. Phillips has three assists in nine games this season at the NHL level and had a goal and three points with AHL Rockford before his recall.
