Mitchell was reassigned to AHL Rockford on Sunday, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although Mitchell's been sent down, it wouldn't be surprising to see him back with the big club prior to Thursday's matchup with Dallas. He's picked up one assist through six top-level appearances this season.

Mitchell was recalled by the Blackhawks on Saturday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

Mitchell was reassigned to AHL Rockford on Wednesday, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jake McCabe (personal) and Connor Murphy (concussion) will likely be available for Thursday's matchup with Montreal, so the Blackhawks are no longer in need of Mitchell's services on the back end. The 22-year-old defender has picked up one helper through six NHL appearances this year.

Mitchell was reassigned to AHL Rockford on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
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.
EDGE Analysis
With Riely Stillman (COVID-19 protocols) unavailable Sunday, Mitchell will fill a bottom-pair role. He tallied an assist in his lone NHL appearance this season and scored seven points in 39 games with Chicago last season.

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.

Mitchell posted a power-play assist in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old defenseman was sheltered in the contest, posting just 8:23 of ice time. Mitchell, a second-round pick from 2017, is likely to see limited opportunities this year even after recording seven points in 39 outings last season. The Alberta native will compete with Erik Gustafsson for a bottom-pairing role to begin the year.

Mitchell notched an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell had the secondary helper on Alex DeBrincat's third-period marker. The 22-year-old Mitchell now has seven points and 36 blocked shots in 37 contests. He's unlikely to move up beyond a third-pairing role in the Blackhawks' last three games of the season.
