Playing career[]

Phillips played his junior hockey for the Saint John Sea Dogs of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. He was selected 28th overall in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft by the Minnesota Wild.

On December 19, 2011, the Minnesota Wild signed Phillips to a three-year entry level contract.[1]

In the 2014–15 season, on March 2, 2015, the Wild traded Phillips, while with AHL affiliate the Iowa Wild, to the Boston Bruins in exchange for Jared Knight. He was assigned to Boston's AHL affiliate the Providence Bruins.[2]

In the following 2015–16 season, Phillips was unable to keep his initial scoring pace with the Providence Bruins and was assigned to ECHL affiliate, the Atlanta Gladiators.[3] After 5 games with the Gladiators, Phillips was traded by the Bruins to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for future considerations on March 4, 2016.[4]

At the conclusion of his NHL contract, Phillips chose to continue his professional career in Sweden, agreeing to a one-year deal Tingsryds AIF of the Allsvenskan on June 1, 2016.[5]

After a spell in Sweden, Phillips moved to the UK to sign for EIHL side, the Nottingham Panthers on July 3, 2017.[6] He then continued his journeyman career with Hungarian club, Fehérvár AV19, competing in the Austrian Hockey League (EBEL) for the 2018–19 season.

Having played three seasons abroad in Europe, Phillips returned to North America prior to the 2019–20 season, agreeing to a contract with the Toledo Walleye of the ECHL on August 7, 2019.[7] Phillips made 12 appearances with the Walleye, registering just 3 points, before he was released on November 25, 2019. He joined the Worcester Railers, making 2 appearances before he was traded to join his third ECHL club for the season with the Norfolk Admirals on December 2, 2019.[8] He registered a further 5 points in 17 games with the Admirals before leaving the ECHL to sign with Slovak club, HK Dukla Michalovce, for the remainder of the season.

In September 2020, Phillips signed with Polska Hokej Liga side JKH GKS Jastrzębie.[9]
