Mitchell has been out with an upper-body injury since February 3rd, but is expected to return tonight vs. the Stars. Mitchell has averaged 22:12 TOI and registered five points, 17 PIMS and 49 SOG in 49 games with the Panthers this season.
Mitchell has missed the last six games with an upper-body injury, but is on the verge of returning. He is with the team in Toronto and could be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Monitor his status during tomorrow’s morning skate.

Mitchell had a strong year, scoring 12 points (1G / 11A) in 76 regular season games, but it was his postseason that drew a lot of attention.

He injured his knee last fall and underwent arthroscopic surgery to clean out the problematic area in early December. After several attempts to make a comeback in the 2013 lockout-shortened season, the decision was made to get a second opinion. He set a career high with 24 points in 76 games in 2011-12.
He is not fantasy relevant.
Re-signing Mitchell is a very smart move now that Johnson was traded away. He scored three goals and 12 points through 55 games.
Expect Mitchell to draw back in tomorrow against the Leafs. While Mitchell is an excellent defensive player, he has no direct fantasy hockey value. His presence on the team allow for less goals allowed but the Kings have not had a problem with that recently.
