Oct 10, 2023 at 07:14 AM ETMatthew Phillips is 140 pounds and listed at 5-foot-7. More important, he is listed on an NHL roster.
Now 25, Phillips could be on the ice against Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday when the Capitals play their first game of the season. “Man, he can make plays,” veteran winger T.J. Oshie said. “He’s very, very smart. He’s obviously a smaller guy, but he’s smart enough to put himself in positions to win puck battles create space for himself. ... I wouldn’t want to cover him.”
Poitras handled preseason games on back-to-back nights and scored a game winner against the Rangers. Rarely did the 54th pick in the draft last year look unprepared for the occasion. “He doesn’t seem like he’s ever under pressure, and the game doesn’t move too fast for him,” Marchand said. “He has all the attributes to be a great player in this league, and we’ll see how it plays out.”
