Mitchell was sent back to AHL Hershey on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell made his NHL debut in Sunday's contest, seeing 8:48 of ice time. As an unrestricted free agent this offseason, the club may just be getting a look at him to see whether or not they want to re-sign the 25-year-old. Either way, the 2009 sixth-round pick is unlikely to see consistent playing time at the NHL level next year.

Mitchell was recalled from AHL Hershey on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
With only one game remaining in the regular season, you're going to see plenty of playoff-bound franchises sending prospects to the NHL for a sneak peek at what they can bring to the table. However, in the case of Mitchell, he will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, so the Caps might end up performing an act of goodwill by showcasing him for other teams.
