Mitchell's only averaged 8:35 of ice time per contest through his three appearances with the Blackhawks this season, so he'll head to the minors to get more playing time. The 22-year-old blueliner has picked up eight points through 42 NHL appearances over the past two campaigns.

Mitchell was recalled from AHL Rockford and is expected to play in Sunday's contest against the Red Wings.

Mitchell was reassigned to the minors Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell logged just 8:23 of ice time in the season opener versus the Avalanche and has been a healthy scratch for the last two games. In a corresponding move, the Hawks promoted forward Mike Hardman which leaves the team without any emergency defensive depth ahead of Tuesday's clash with the Islanders.
