Mitchell signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Red Wings on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell logged one assist and a minus-2 rating over 15 outings with Boston in 2024-25, and he also notched four goals, 27 points and a plus-11 rating with AHL Providence. The 2017 second-round selection by Chicago will compete for a depth role on Detroit's blue line this coming season.

Mitchell didn't receive a qualify offer from the Bruins on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell made 15 appearances with the Bruins in 2024-25, having accounted for one assist and a minus-2 rating. The 26-year-old fared much better with AHL Providence, recording four goals and 27 points over 47 regular-season appearances. The 2017 second-round selection is free to sign elsewhere when free agency opens Tuesday.

Mitchell was put on waivers by Boston on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Boston's season is over, so the Bruins want to send Mitchell to AHL Providence, which is where he'll head if he goes unclaimed. Mitchell had an assist in 15 outings with Boston this season. He's also collected four goals and 27 points across 46 appearances with Providence in 2024-25.

Mitchell was scratched for the third straight game in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell is a pending restricted free agent this offseason, but he hasn't done much lately to make a lasting impression on the Bruins. He's on a 10-game point drought and has just one point, an assist, over 14 outings at the NHL level this season. He's added 21 blocked shots, 10 shots on goal and a minus-3 rating. The Bruins have some holes to fill on the blue line for 2025-26, but it's unclear if Mitchell will be part of that.

Mitchell provided an assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell has played in four of the Bruins' last five games, and he's got a clearer path to the lineup after Brandon Carlo was traded to the Maple Leafs. The 26-year-old Mitchell has one assist, three shots on net, five blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating while filling a third-pairing role. His playing time is likely to be safe until Charlie McAvoy (shoulder) returns to the lineup, though that's not guaranteed to happen if the Bruins end up too far adrift of a playoff spot.

Mitchell was called up from AHL Providence on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell is set to fill a third-pairing role during the ongoing absence of Charlie McAvoy (shoulder). The 26-year-old Mitchell was assigned to AHL earlier Friday to maintain playoff eligibility in that league.

Mitchell was sent to AHL Providence on Friday, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell has made three appearances for Boston this season -- all of which have come in March -- and he's been held pointless with three blocked shots, a hit and a minus-2 rating while averaging 13:35 of ice time, including 1:03 on the power play. Friday's move will make him eligible to participate in the AHL playoffs, but it's possible that he rejoins Boston in the near future.

Mitchell was summoned by Boston on Wednesday, according to Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell has four goals and 27 points over 46 appearances with AHL Providence in 2024-25. His recall gives the Bruins seven healthy defensemen on the roster. Charlie McAvoy (shoulder) and Hampus Lindholm (kneecap) are on IR and LTIR, respectively, so Mitchell will provide extra depth while they're sidelined.

Mitchell was loaned to AHL Providence on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell has played in Boston's last two games, posting one hit, two blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. He could return to the NHL before Tuesday's matchup versus Nashville to play again or serve as an extra defender.

Mitchell was recalled from AHL Providence on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell hasn't yet played for Boston this season, but he'll rejoin the NHL club after Michael Callahan was sent down Friday. Over 46 appearances with Providence this year, Mitchell has recorded four goals, 23 assists and 16 PIM. He'll likely serve mainly in a depth role with Boston.
