HEATING UP: #11 Matthew Phillips
Matthew Phillips is heating up!
Phillips has points in four-straight, with 4g, 3a in that span. He scored twice on Sunday against the Gulls - including the game-winner - moving into first in the AHL goal-scoring race with 32 tallies this season. He currently sits at 99 career AHL goals.
He knows this is going to be a tough test against Henderson to finish up the final homestand of the season.
"It's going to be a challenge," said Phillips. "They seem to beat us almost every time we play them and we're fighting for first place here, so we need to get our rest... those are two big games."
In six games against the Silver Knights this season Phillips has registered four assists.
CGY Player to Watch: #46 Emilio Pettersen
Pettersen has enjoyed playing the Silver Knights this season, with six points (3g, 3a) in six contests. The 23-year-old leads all AHL forwards in plus/minus this season and sits ninth overall in the league with a plus-23 rating.
He has five points (1g,4a) in his last five games heading into action on Wednesday.
