Mitchell was recalled from AHL Rockford on Friday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell missed six weeks with a wrist injury suffered at the start of training camp and was sent to the minors eight days ago to get in some playing time. Mitchell had two goals and five points in three AHL games and should get an opportunity to play on the power play and see top-four minutes on the blue line.

Mitchell (wrist) was activated from injured reserve and reassigned to AHL Rockford on Thursday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
This is in line with the plan established for Mitchell earlier in the week -- he'll get some time at the AHL level before being in the mix for a call-up. The 23-year-old blueliner missed about a month and a half with the wrist injury.

Mitchell (wrist) is likely to head to the AHL once he's recovered, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell didn't participate in training camp and he's missed the first month of the regular season, so heading to the minors would give him an opportunity to get back up to speed. He had 11 goals and 35 points in 57 AHL contests last season. He also registered an assist in eight games with Chicago.

When asked about his wrist injury Friday, Mitchell said it's just a "pain tolerance" thing at this point, and that he's hoping to begin practicing next week, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell has yet to play this season due to his wrist issue, but it appears as though his recovery is trending in the right direction. Still, he'll likely need to log a handful of full practices before receiving medical clearance, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him head to the AHL once that happens. Mitchell picked up one helper through eight top-level appearances last year.
