Mitchell opened the scoring 5:32 in with his third goal in 63 appearances, and added his fourth helper on a Mark Barberio tally in the third period. This was the first multi-point effort of the season for the 32-year-old center, who has declined significantly after potting double-digit goals in each of his first four campaigns in Colorado. |

Mitchell contributed a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Blues. |

analysis |

The veteran has produced nothing on offense, and the bottom-six forward should be avoided in even the deepest of fantasy pools at this point. His only redeeming qualities at this point are his hits (65) and blocked shots (34). |

Mitchell picked up his first assist of the season in Friday's 2-1 overtime win against the Penguins. |

analysis |
|
Even though Mitchell is a bottom-six forward, the fact that he only has a single point in 40 games after producing 20-plus in each of the last four seasons is rather ludicrous. Then again, things have been a disaster all year for the Avs, and the veteran's average ice time is down over three full minutes from last year (12:08 vs. 15:15). All things considered, it's pretty much a no-brainer to stee |

Mitchell has gone 20 games without a point and has just a lone goal on the season. |
| 2017-01-09 |
analysis |
|
The 31-year-old's lone point -- a goal -- came 14 games ago, so to say it's been a down year for the depth forward would be a gross understatement. Despite being a bottom-six guy, Mitchell is usually good for 20 to 30 points and, as such, usually maintains some fantasy value in deeper formats since he also racks up a few hits (85 last year, 40 this year) and blocked shots (65 last year, 27 this ye |

Mitchell only has one point in 34 games this season and has averaged just 12:30 of ice time, his lowest in five years with the team. |

analysis |
|
With just 16 shots in those first 19 contests, Mitchell hasn't exactly been the victim of bad luck -- his ice time's way down from past seasons, and he's mostly been invisible when he's gotten out there. There's nothing to see here in most fantasy formats. |

Mitchell ended his season-opening 19-game skid without a point by scoring an unassisted goal in Tuesday's win over Boston. |
| 2016-12-01 |
analysis |
|
Sure, he's a bottom-six grinder whose main role is to provide energy and a checking presence, but a big fat goose egg in the points column is surprising for a guy that's produced at a rate of 0.38 points per game (99 in 261 games) over the last four seasons. However, Mitchell's ice time is down to 12:26 per game from the 15-16-plus minutes he's received over that same span, which is further limiti |

Mitchell wasn't claimed off waivers by another NHL club, which allowed the Avalanche to keep the veteran forward around for Saturday's contest. The 2003 fifth-round pick will slot into a bottom-six role against Minnesota, centering Andreas Martinsen and Blake Comeau on Colorado's fourth line. |

Despite being waived by the Avalanche on Friday, Mitchell is in the lineup for Saturday's matchup with the Wild, Drew Spevak of Denver Sports 760 reports. |

analysis |

Mitchell played in the Avs' last four games, but was held off the scoresheet and contributed just three shots on goals and two PIM. If the 31-year-old goes unclaimed off the waiver wire, he will be reassigned to AHL San Antonio. The veteran last appeared in the minors during the 2011-12 season in which he logged 14 points in 17 contests. If you are holding onto the center in your fantasy lineups, |

Mitchell was placed on waivers Friday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports. |

analysis |

The Avs have a lengthy break in their schedule, so even though the report notes that Mitchell's pesky hip flexor is 100 percent healed, the veteran will need to wait awhile to make his season debut. The 31-year-old has spent four full seasons with Colorado, topping out at 32 points in 2013-14 before regressing to 26 and 21 in the following two campaigns. That said, Mitchell is a heart-and-soul guy |

Mitchell was a scratch from the Opening Night lineup, and the fact that he's going to sit out the four-game road trip leaves him sidelined at least until Oct. 28 when Colorado returns home to face the Jets. |

Mitchell did not participate in Tuesday's team practice due to a hip injury but apparently several more days of rest has brought him to at or near full strength. The 31-year-old center is coming off four consecutive 20-plus point games for the Avalanche but offers little more than deep offensive depth for fantasy owners given he isn't a mainstay on a top-six line. |
