Video: Sheffield Steelers' Davey Phillips frustrated with wrist injury - blames himself
The defenceman was hurt against Belfast Giants, but stresses it was a clean hit on the boards.
"It was a bit of my own fault, to be honest. It's ice hockey, it's a physical sport" he said.

"He was a big lad, and I put my arm in an awkward spot."
Phillips, who will have the injury assessed on Monday, added: "I was gutted, a new coach coming in, he's got us working hard, I thought my conditioning was really good and learning systems well we've been winning a lot of games. It is disappointing but one of those things."
The Great Btitain ice hockey regular said while the Elite League title was "a bit of a far stretch at the minute" he said the team were focused on winning trophies in 2019.
Steelers host Coventry Blaze tomorrow.
