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.
