Torrey Mitchell News

Look for Torrey Mitchell to miss another game. He said yesterday he felt good enough to play, but it’s not like McLellan to do much line-tinkering when the team is on a three-game winning streak.

With the team winning, Mitchell is unlikely to return tonight. The often-injured forward is off to an excellent start with three assists through his first five games.

Torrey Mitchell said he felt good enough to play at this point, so it looks as if it’s just a question of whether Todd McLellan wants to tinker with his team on a three-game winning streak.

The Sharks have won without Mitchell over the past week so letting him rest wouldn't be an awful move. Expect another update tomorrow, prior to game time.

For example, among the last players on the ice were Torrey Mitchell, Jason Demers and Colin White. Half their teammates were back at the hotel before they came off.

Doesn't sound like Mitchell will play tonight. If you roster the often-injured right wing, make sure to bench him tonight.

Devils right wing Nick Palmieri was assessed a two-minute minor for an illegal check to the head for a hit on Torrey Mitchell 59 seconds into the game. It looked like Palmieri connected with his shoulder. Mitchell was shaken up had to be helped off the ice. He has not returned.

Last season, Mitchell only played in 66 games and 56 the season before making him somewhat injury prone. With three assists through his first five games played, the right wing was off to one of his best starts. Stay tuned for a further update on the Sharks third liner.

With nine goals last season, Mitchell has shown the ability to fill the net. Through his first three games, the Montreal native already has two assists. Expect some decent interim fantasy hockey value.
