  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Mittelstadt notched an assist in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Sharks. Mittelstadt has collected five helpers over his last seven contests. The 26-year-old forward struggled in November, but he's at least partially turned things around while maintaining his spot on the second line. The center has 23 points, 50 shots on net and a minus-17 rating over 34 appearances.

• Avalanche's Casey Mittelstadt: Two more assists in win

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Mittelstadt produced two assists and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Devils. Mittelstadt has three helpers over his last two games after going eight contests without a point. The 26-year-old appears to be benefiting from having Ross Colton back from a broken foot and playing on the second line. Mittelstadt is up to 21 points (seven goals, 14 assists), 48 shots on net and a minus-15 rating through 29 appearances. He remains in a second-line role and probably won't face a lot of pressure to maintain that spot as long as the Avalanche play fairly well overall.

• Avalanche's Casey Mittelstadt: Breaks slump with helper

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Mittelstadt recorded an assist in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings. Mittelstadt snapped an eight-game point drought with the helper. The 26-year-old center has maintained a second-line role on paper, but his ice time has dropped significantly amid his slump and the return of other forwards. Mittelstadt should ultimately benefit from having better talent on his line, but he could be a player to drop in the lineup if his struggles persist. He's at 19 points, 48 shots on net and a minus-17 rating across 28 appearances.

  Mittelstadt scored the game-winning goal and added a power-play assist in Monday's 3-2 victory over the Flyers. After helping to set up one of Cale Makar's two goals in the second period, Mittelstadt gave the Avs a 3-0 lead in the third by banging home the rebound on a Mikko Rantanen shot. The tally snapped an eight-game goal drought for Mittelstadt, but the 25-year-old center is still on pace for a career-best campaign, piling up seven goals and 18 points through 19 contests.

• Avalanche's Casey Mittelstadt: Slings power-play assist

  11/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Mittelstadt notched a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Hurricanes. Mittelstadt was the only non-top-line forward to record a point for the Avalanche on Saturday, though five of the six blueliners also got on the scoresheet. He set up the first of Mikko Rantanen's two goals in the game. Mittelstadt has three helpers over four outings in November, all of which have come on the power play. The center is up to 16 points (eight on the power play), 36 shots on net and a minus-9 rating over 15 appearances. With Colorado converting 34.6 percent of its power plays so far, head coach Jared Bednar may be hesitant to break up the first unit even when Jonathan Drouin (upper body) or Valeri Nichushkin (suspension) becomes available to play, though Mittelstadt would be a candidate to move to the second unit if any changes happen.
