Mitchell was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell's demotion could be a temporary move, as the team is off until a back-to-back versus Vancouver and Buffalo on Friday and Saturday, respectively. By moving the blueliner to the minors, he can suit up for Bridgeport in Wednesday's matchup with AHL Syracuse before being recalled ahead of Friday's roster freeze.

Mitchell scored a goal and placed three shots on net in Thursday's 5-2 win over Anaheim.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell found the back of the net midway through the opening period to help spark the Islanders' offense early in the team's five-goal night. The twine finder was his first career goal and point through seven NHL games. While Mitchell is buried on the Isles' depth chart and remains off the fantasy radar, his goal Thursday could lead to more playing time moving forward over Adam Boqvist, who also has just one point through less than a dozen games this season.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell joins the 23-man roster in exchange for Marshall Warren, who was sent down Monday. Even with his promotion, the 26-year-old Mitchell is far from a lock to play in Wednesday's clash with the Bruins. If Mitchell does play, it will likely come at the expense of Adam Boqvist.

Mitchell was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell was a healthy scratch in two games after being summoned from the minors. The defenseman has yet to make his NHL debut. He had three assists in 12 AHL games before his recall. Scott Mayfield (personal) could return against Colorado on Sunday after the birth of his first child, and Mitchel's demotion opens a roster spot.

Mitchell was recalled from AHL Bridgeport on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell will serve as the seventh defenseman for the Isles while Scott Mayfield (personal) is away from the club. Even with his promotion, it will be Adam Boqvist, rather than Mitchell, who steps into the lineup against the Golden Knights on Thursday. For his part, the 25-year-old Mitchell has yet to make his NHL debut despite being in his third full season playing for AHL Bridgeport.

Mitchell was placed on waivers by the Islanders on Friday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Islanders in mid-July, so this isn't much of a surprise. Mitchell, who has yet to play a game at the NHL level, had four goals, nine assists and 101 PIM across 65 appearances with AHL Bridgeport during the 2024-25 regular season. He will see action once again with Bridgeport, should he clear waivers.

Mitchell inked a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Islanders on Monday, according to PuckPedia.

EDGE Analysis

This is a two-way deal for Mitchell, who is likely to spend most, if not all, of the 2025-26 campaign with AHL Bridgeport. The 25-year-old defenseman accounted for four goals, 13 points, 101 PIM and a minus-22 rating over 65 appearances in the minors last season.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell has three points over eight games with Bridgeport this season. He'll likely serve as a spare defenseman until the Islanders get one of their injured blueliners back.
