Fantasy Analysis
It was also the 1,000th game of his career, a nice milestone for the tough blue-liner. He scored just one goal all of last season, so this is quite the offensive outburst by Chris Phillips' standards. (Updated 02/09/2012).

Taylor Hall scored 17 seconds into overtime and the Edmonton Oilers snapped a two-game losing streak with a 4-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.

Chris Phillips scored his first two goals of the season in his 1,000th NHL game, Jason Spezza also scored twice and the Ottawa Senators ended a seven-game losing streak with a 4-3 win over the Nashville Predators on Thursday.
Last season was undoubtedly Phillips' worst of his career. Playing in all 82 games, the former first overall draft pick had one goal, eight assists, and a team-worst minus-35 rating. While Phillips has averaged around 20 points a season over his long career, a return to that level at this stage in his career shouldn't be expected. Fantasy-wise, five goals and 10 assists this season is likely his ceiling. He doesn't play the power play and will be matched up against other teams' top forward lines, so his plus-minus rating might once again be on the negative side, especially on a young, rebuilding team in Ottawa.
