Casey Mittelstadt Stats

Buffalo Sabres center Casey Mittelstadt logged three assists as the team suffered a heart-breaking 4-3 overtime loss against Pittsburgh on Friday. His work helped the Sabres to grab a 2-1 lead, but the hosts also needed a late Kyle Okposo strike on the power play to extend the game. Mittelstadt has had a decent season with 16 points in 27 games, but his situation has been worrying as of late, with the 24-year-old seeing significantly less ice time than usual. He skated for 10:31 on Friday, and Mittelstadt hasn't even hit the 10-minute mark a couple of times in recent weeks. Friday will give him hope that he can regain the trust of head coach Don Granato.

Buffalo Sabres forward Casey Mittelstadt has been ruled out indefinitely after he underwent lower-body surgery. It's a big blow for the 23-year-old, who had just returned to the lineup following a lengthy absence, but the team hopes to get him back before the end of the season. Mittelstadt has skated in just four games this season, recording one goal with seven shots, three blocks and a minus-six rating. He's been centering the second line and Dylan Cozens now takes over the job on Friday against the Rangers. He's on seven goals and seven assists for the season in 25 games.

Buffalo Sabres forward Casey Mittelstadt (upper body) will be back in action on Thursday against Florida, returning from a 21-game absence. The 23-year-old had a very unfortunate start to the campaign as he got injured in the season opener on Oct. 14. He'll go on the third line to skate with Zemgus Girgensons and Rasmus Asplund. Mittelstadt had a strong finish to last season, collecting 17 of his 22 points in his final 22 appearances. The late surge made Mittelstadt one of the team's top scorers, and he clearly has a bright future ahead of him.

Buffalo Sabres forward Casey Mittelstadt (upper body) wasn't able to complete Thursday's season opener against Montreal, logging just nine minutes of action before leaving the game in the second period due to injury. It's a bitter blow for the 22-year-old as Buffalo has put a lot of faith in him and he started the season as the first-line center. There have been no updates on his status as of yet. The Sabres face Arizona next on Saturday. Dylan Cozens joined Jeff Skinner and Vinnie Hinostroza on the top line following Mittelstadt's exit and could be the main beneficiary if Mittelstadt is forced to miss any action.
