Mitchell will be promoted to the active roster and play in Saturday's game versus Florida, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell is expected to skate on Chicago's third pairing against the Panthers. He's notched four points in 26 games this season.

Mitchell was demoted to the taxi squad Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell will be out of the lineup for the first time this year, as he's not eligible to play in Tuesday's game versus the Stars. The 22-year-old blueliner has four points, 28 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 26 appearances. Lucas Carlsson will take his place on the third pairing.

Mitchell notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell set up Ryan Carpenter for a first-period tally. The 22-year-old Mitchell has four points and a minus-3 rating in 23 games as a rookie this year. He's added 24 blocked shots and 18 shots on goal, but the second-round pick from 2017 is still trying to find his scoring touch at the NHL level.

Mitchell found the back of the net in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell was highly productive for the University of Denver, as he compiled 18 goals and 71 assists over a three-year span. Fast forward a year and Mitchell can now be found on the top defensive pair for the Blackhawks, working on the opposite side of veteran Duncan Keith. He hasn't been given much of a chance on the power play just yet, but Chicago's second-round (57th overall) draft pick is worth keeping tabs on for future fantasy campaigns.

Mitchell scored a goal on his only shot in Thursday's 6-5 loss to Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie defenseman joined a Chicago rush and tapped home a David Kampf feed on top of the crease, tying the game 1-1 just 21 seconds into the second period. It was the first NHL goal for the University of Denver product, who had gone his previous nine games without a point.

Mitchell posted an assist and two blocked shots in Friday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell's first NHL point came on a Calvin de Haan goal in the second period, which stood as the game-winner. A second-round pick from 2017, Mitchell has skated in a third-pairing role this year. It's been a tough adjustment for the young rearguard, who has a minus-6 rating, four blocks and three shots on goal through five appearances. There's little reason for managers in redraft leagues to follow Mitchell's progress in 2020-21.

Mitchell signed an entry-level contract with the Blackhawks on Friday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

After spurning the Blackhawks last summer to return to Denver for his junior season, Mitchell has now elected to kick off his professional career rather than stick around in college for one more year. The 21-year-old blueliner should get the chance to compete for a spot on the Chicago roster coming out of training camp next fall, but even if he opens the 2020-21 season at AHL Rockford, the 21-year-old defenseman shouldn't have to wait long for a callup to the big club. He finished his final season at Denver with 10 goals and 32 points over 36 games.
