Mitchell signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Kings on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell spent the majority of the 2017-18 campaign in the minors, racking up 16 goals and 33 points in 42 contests with AHL Iowa, but he also logged 23 games with the Wild, totaling three goals and five points over that span. The 25-year-old winger will likely split time between the AHL and NHL again in 2018-19.

Mitchell recorded three goals and two assists in 23 games during 2017-18, throwing 17 total shots on goal and averaging 10:32 of ice time.
EDGE Analysis
This was Mitchell's second season bouncing up and down from the minors to the NHL, although he was only able to play in 11 games in 2016-17, seeing a sturdier role in his second professional season. However, Mitchell only skated for two games after Dec. 30, although he was able to maintain a high level of play in the minors, notching 33 points (16 goals, 17 assists) in 42 games. The Ontario native should have a chance to push for a roster spot out of training camp, but will need a new contract as he's set to become a free agent.

Mitchell was reassigned to the minors Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell has played in just two of the Wild's previous six outings, in which he averaged a paltry 8:40 of ice time. The Ontario native will return to AHL Iowa where he has been significantly more impactful -- scoring 29 points in 33 contests. The move to demote the 25-year-old will create room for newly signed Jordan Greenway to join the club for the rest of the season.

Mitchell was recalled from the Iowa Wild of the AHL on Wednesday, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell has already skated in 21 games for Minnesota this season, recording a meager three goals and five points. That said, Mitchell has demonstrated his offensive abilities in what has been a breakthrough campaign with AHL Iowa, potting 14 goals and adding 14 assists for 28 points in just 33 games. Expect Mitchell to fill a bottom-six role if he's able to crack the lineup.

Mitchell has been assigned to the AHL, according to the Minnesota Wild.
EDGE Analysis
The move was made to make room for Zach Parise. Miller hadn't registered a point since Dec. 8th. With only five points in 21 games this season, the Canadian winger was deemed expendable. He is not worth a roster spot at this time.

Mitchell was waived by the Wild on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
With veteran point producer Zach Parise (back) on the verge of returning, Mitchell was deemed expendable. It's to complain about how the fourth-liner has played this season, as he's scored three times on 16 shots with a pair of assists through 21 games. That's solid production for a guy who's only been averaging 10:43 of ice time, so we wouldn't be surprised if another team claims the 24-year-old off the waiver wire.

Mitchell scored his second goal of the season in 13:10 of ice tie in Saturday's loss to St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell has just three shots on goal in the three game since he was recalled from AHL Iowa, but he had over ten minutes of ice time the past two games. He could get a larger role as his goal Saturday came on the power play, where he hasn't had much ice time and the Wild have struggled lately.

Mitchell was promoted from AHL Iowa on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell has racked up five goals and 11 helpers in 11 minor-league contests this season, which leads the team in points. With a corresponding move sending Luke Kunin down, it looks like Mitchell will rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's clash with Buffalo.

Mitchell was sent back to AHL Iowa on Sunday, per the NHL transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Despite notching his first career NHL goal against the Islanders on Thursday, Mitchell will head back to the minors. During his four game stint, the 24-year-old averaged 10:46 of ice time while appearing mainly on the fourth line. Should injuries arise once again for Minnesota, Mitchell will certainly be in the running for a call-up.

Mitchell was promoted from AHL Iowa on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Following the news that Landon Ferraro (hip) is expected to miss at least a week, the Wild once again needed to add some depth at the forward position -- this time adding Mitchell for his second call-up of the season. In his previous stint, the winger averaged 11:58 of ice time while notching just two shots on goal, two hits and one block. If the team can ever get healthy, Mitchell will likely head back to the minors.
