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.

Mitchell notched an assist and three blocked shots in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell played in a third-pairing role in his first game in two weeks. The 22-year-old blueliner hasn't been much of a scoring threat this season with five points and 21 shots on goal through 35 contests. He's added 34 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating.

Mitchell will enter the lineup Saturday against visiting Florida, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell will round out the Blackhawks defense corps and replace Nicolas Beaudin (healthy scratch) on the bottom pairing. He only has four points in 34 games this year, and as such, doesn't figure to make much of a fantasy splash Saturday.

Mitchell will join the active roster and play Thursday against the Red Wings, Carter Baum of the Blackhawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Adam Boqvist (concussion) and Calvin de Haan (hip) both sidelined, Mitchell will get an opportunity to crack the Blackhawks' lineup for the first time since March 25 against the Panthers. The 22-year-old blueliner has tallied four points while posting a minus-7 rating in 32 NHL appearances this season.

Mitchell was promoted from AHL Rockford to the Blackhawks' taxi squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Adam Boqvist (concussion) and Calvin de Haan (hip) are both dealing with an injury, so Mitchell will likely be in consideration for a spot in Chicago's lineup Thursday versus the Red Wings. The 22-year-old blueliner has picked up four points while posting a minus-7 rating in 32 NHL games this campaign.

Mitchell was assigned to AHL Rockford on Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell hasn't played in any of the Blackhawks' last five games, so an assignment to the minors should be better for this development. The 21-year-old has produced just four points through 32 NHL games this year.
