Mitchell (oblique) will play Tuesday against the Devils, Marc Moser of the Altitude Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell has missed 11 of the Avalanche's last 13 games with an oblique injury, but has finally recovered from the ailment, and will return to game action Tuesday against New Jersey. The 30-year-old center has been relatively productive when healthy this season, potting five goals in 13 games. He will likely return to a bottom-six role in Tuesday's tilt.
