Most recently, the undrafted talent out of the Calgary Hitmen of the WHL scored the tying goal for the Phantoms with just 16.1 seconds remaining on January 5 to earn the Phantoms a standings point in a 4-3 overtime loss at Hershey. He then made his season-debut with the Flyers the following night. Zamula played 25 games with the Phantoms last year scoring 0-6-6 and also appeared in two games with the Flyers.
Millman, 20, has played just three games for the Phantoms this season.

Millman played in three games with the Reading Royals in the past week. Last year with the Phantoms, the 6'1 ¬Â³ native of London, ON had three assists in 13 games with the Phantoms. The product of the Saginaw Spirit in the OHL scored 13-31-44 in the abbrieviated 2019-20 season.
