Mittelstadt recorded an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
Mittelstadt fed Josh Manson late in the third period to finish the game and the first-round series. The 25-year-old Mittelstadt contributed a goal, five assists, 15 shots on net and a plus-5 rating from his second-line role. The center should be able to continue generating offense, though he may not be the steadiest scorer on the team if the Avalanche face more resistance in later rounds.

Mittelstadt earned three assists, fired three shots on goal, went plus-3 and added two PIM in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Mittelstadt helped out on goals by Zach Parise, Artturi Lehkonen and Ross Colton. This was Mittelstadt's first multi-point effort in an Avalanche sweater. He's earned 14 points over 21 contests since he was traded from the Sabres at the deadline, and he's consistently held down a second-line job.

Mittelstadt scored a goal on five shots and added three hits in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Jets in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Mittelstadt scored with 30 seconds left in the third period to create some drama, but the Avalanche fell short in the end. It was his first goal over nine games in April. The 25-year-old center produced 18 tallies, 57 points, 127 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 80 regular-season appearances between Colorado and Buffalo. Sunday marked his playoff debut, but he is surrounded by teammates familiar with the postseason grind, so he should be able to adjust quickly.

Mittelstadt logged an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Stars.

With four points over his last six games, Mittelstadt has been good on offense, but he also has a minus-5 rating in that span. The 25-year-old center is holding down a second-line role, and he's up to 56 points, 126 shots on net, 28 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 76 contests between the Avalanche and the Sabres this season.

Mittelstadt scored a power-play goal on four shots and logged a hit in Saturday's 7-4 win over Nashville.

Mittelstadt scored Colorado's first goal in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Mittelstadt has fit in well in Colorado since the trade deadline. He went without a point in the two games prior to Thursday, but he's registered at least one point in six of nine games with the Avs. There has not been an explosive game yet, though. He hasn't had more than a single point in a game and hasn't even taken more than two shots in a game with the Avs. Still, while it's not game-breaking production, his offensive contributions have been consistent so far.

Mittelstadt notched an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 6-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Mittelstadt has two goals and three assists during his active five-game point streak. The 25-year-old has been held off the scoresheet only once since he was traded from the Sabres. Mittelstadt is up to 52 points, 109 shots on net and a plus-19 rating through 68 contests overall. Playing on the second line with the Avalanche, the 25-year-old offers significant scoring upside in fantasy.

Mittelstadt scored a goal on two shots and had one hit in Tuesday's 4-3 win over St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Mittelstadt started the sequence that led to the tally by winning an offensive-zone faceoff -- he won 11 of 16 draws including four of five in the Blues' end of the ice -- then finished a Samuel Girard feed for his 16th goal. It was Mittelstadt's second marker in five games since being traded from Buffalo and his fourth consecutive contest with a point. Mittelstadt appears to have resolved the Avalanche's problem at second-line center, which has been an issue since Nazem Kadri left in free agency in 2022.

Mittelstadt notched an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Mittelstadt has gotten on the scoresheet in three straight games, earning a goal and two assists in that span. He's settling in nicely with a second-line role and power-play time since he was traded from the Sabres. Mittelstadt has 50 points, 106 shots on net and a plus-16 rating through 66 contests in 2023-24, and it's not impossible to think he could push for his first 60-point campaign down the stretch.
