Mitchell, 24, appeared in two NHL games with the Bruins this season, recording one assist.
They acquired him from the Chicago Blackhawks on June 26 in the trade that sent Taylor Hall and Nick Foligno to the Windy City. The Blackhawks also sent defenseman Alec Regula to Boston.
Mitchell signed a one-year contract with the Bruins on July 10. He will earn a salary of $775,000 this season whether he plays in the NHL or the American Hockey League.
He was a 2nd round pick in 2017 and played his college career with Denver University, collecting 89 points in 116 games over 3 seasons.
Since turning professional with the Blackhawks in 2020, Mitchell has scored four goals and 13 assists for 17 points in 84 games. Last season, he struggled with injuries that limited him to 35 games in Chicago and just five games in Rockford (AHL), although he shined in the minor leagues with two goals and four assists in those five. appearances.
