Mitchell (lower body) won't play Tuesday against the Blue Jackets, J-F Chaumont of the Journal de Montreal reports.

EDGE Analysis

The news doesn't come as a huge surprise, as Mitchell still hasn't resumed skating, and will likely need to log a number of full practices before returning to game action. The 30-year-old forward is still on injured reserve, so the Canadiens should announce his activation once he is fit to play.
