Phillips Traded To Bruins

Former Sea Dogs forward Zack Phillips has been traded to the Boston Bruins.

In a minor league deal, the Minnesota Wild traded Phillips to the Bruins in exchange for former London Knight Jared Knight.

Phillips has struggled offensively since turning pro, recording just 27 goals and 48 assists in 196 games with the Wild’s AHL affiliates. He averaged over a point per game in his QMJHL career.

Knight played against Phillips and the Sea Dogs at the 2012 Memorial Cup in Shawinigan.

The NHL’s trading period ended this afternoon.
