Jonathan Phillips will play for Cardiff Devils in the Elite League play-off semi-finals on Saturday despite his broken leg not having healed fully. Devils face Nottingham Panthers for a place in Sunday's final against either Coventry Blaze or Sheffield Steelers.
"My leg is still broken but it's healed enough for me to play,"the 22-year-old told the South Wales Echo.
"I had X-rays on the injury and I could see a gap, but the doctors have said I can play if it's strapped up properly."
