At some point in the 2015-16 season, Chris Phillips will likely be ready to return to the Senators' lineup. But how many games will he actually play?
Though Chris Phillips' offseason back surgery was a success, something went wrong during the rehab process.
"Chris has experienced a setback in his recovery from back surgery that will delay his return to the ice. While the back surgery earlier this summer has alleviated all of the issues he experienced last season, he suffered a cracked vertebra during his rehabilitation." - Bryan Murray. Ottawa Sun.
The 37-year-old will need at least another month to recover from his latest injury before he can step onto the ice again, forcing him to miss out on training camp and quite possibly the beginning of the regular season.
