Ian Mitchell - NHL News & Rumors

Dealt in AHL deal Mitchell was traded to the Lightning from the Red Wings on Thursday in exchange for Wojciech Stachowiak and Michael Milne.

Impact Mitchell, a defenseman, was traded for two forwards since Detroit's NHL injuries have depleted AHL Grand Rapids' depth. Mitchell had 20 points in 45 games with the Griffins before the trade. He will be an unrestricted free agent after the season.

Two points in Griffins' win Mitchell scored a goal and added an assist in AHL Grand Rapids' 5-2 win over Toronto on Friday.

Impact This was Mitchell's first multi-point effort of the season. He has five points over nine games while adding a plus-5 rating and 15 shots on net in his first year with the Griffins. The Red Wings haven't been impacted by injuries at the NHL level on the blue line, so it's unclear where Mitchell is in the pecking order for call-ups, but he hasn't done much to stand out yet.

Impact Mitchell had four goals and 27 points across 47 outings with AHL Providence as well as an assist in 15 appearances with Boston during the 2024-25 regular season. Mitchell is expected to report to AHL Grand Rapids if he goes unclaimed, but it wouldn't be surprising if the 26-year-old gets a chance with the Red Wings at some point during the campaign.

Inks one-year deal Mitchell signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Red Wings on Tuesday.

Impact Mitchell logged one assist and a minus-2 rating over 15 outings with Boston in 2024-25, and he also notched four goals, 27 points and a plus-11 rating with AHL Providence. The 2017 second-round selection by Chicago will compete for a depth role on Detroit's blue line this coming season.

Hitting free agency Mitchell didn't receive a qualify offer from the Bruins on Monday.

Impact Mitchell made 15 appearances with the Bruins in 2024-25, having accounted for one assist and a minus-2 rating. The 26-year-old fared much better with AHL Providence, recording four goals and 27 points over 47 regular-season appearances. The 2017 second-round selection is free to sign elsewhere when free agency opens Tuesday.

Waived Wednesday Mitchell was put on waivers by Boston on Wednesday.

Impact Boston's season is over, so the Bruins want to send Mitchell to AHL Providence, which is where he'll head if he goes unclaimed. Mitchell had an assist in 15 outings with Boston this season. He's also collected four goals and 27 points across 46 appearances with Providence in 2024-25.

APRIL 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lacking consistent playing time Mitchell was scratched for the third straight game in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

Impact Mitchell is a pending restricted free agent this offseason, but he hasn't done much lately to make a lasting impression on the Bruins. He's on a 10-game point drought and has just one point, an assist, over 14 outings at the NHL level this season. He's added 21 blocked shots, 10 shots on goal and a minus-3 rating. The Bruins have some holes to fill on the blue line for 2025-26, but it's unclear if Mitchell will be part of that.

APRIL 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Secures first point of season Mitchell provided an assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Lightning.

Impact Mitchell has played in four of the Bruins' last five games, and he's got a clearer path to the lineup after Brandon Carlo was traded to the Maple Leafs. The 26-year-old Mitchell has one assist, three shots on net, five blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating while filling a third-pairing role. His playing time is likely to be safe until Charlie McAvoy (shoulder) returns to the lineup, though that's not guaranteed to happen if the Bruins end up too far adrift of a playoff spot.

MARCH 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Rises to NHL Mitchell was called up from AHL Providence on Friday.

Impact Mitchell is set to fill a third-pairing role during the ongoing absence of Charlie McAvoy (shoulder). The 26-year-old Mitchell was assigned to AHL earlier Friday to maintain playoff eligibility in that league.

MARCH 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Providence Mitchell was sent to AHL Providence on Friday, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.

Impact Mitchell has made three appearances for Boston this season -- all of which have come in March -- and he's been held pointless with three blocked shots, a hit and a minus-2 rating while averaging 13:35 of ice time, including 1:03 on the power play. Friday's move will make him eligible to participate in the AHL playoffs, but it's possible that he rejoins Boston in the near future.

MARCH 7, 2025 • Associated Press

Bruins will have some different faces in the lineup Thursday vs. Hurricanes in their last game before trade deadline - The Boston Globe Riley Tufte, Vinni Lettieri, Patrick Brown, and Ian Mitchell, all called up from AHL Providence in the morning, should play in Raleigh.

MARCH 5, 2025 • BOSTONGLOBE.COM

Recalled Wednesday Mitchell was summoned by Boston on Wednesday, according to Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe.

Impact Mitchell has four goals and 27 points in 46 appearances with AHL Providence in 2024-25. His recall gives the Bruins seven healthy defensemen on the roster. Charlie McAvoy (shoulder) and Hampus Lindholm (kneecap) are on IR and LTIR, respectively.

MARCH 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returned to minors Mitchell was loaned to AHL Providence on Monday.

MARCH 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Called up by Boston Mitchell was recalled from AHL Providence on Friday.

Impact Mitchell hasn't yet played for Boston this season, but he'll rejoin the NHL club after Michael Callahan was sent down Friday. Over 46 appearances with Boston this year, Mitchell has recorded four goals, 23 assists and 16 PIM. He'll likely serve mainly in a depth role with Boston.

FEBRUARY 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on waivers Mitchell was placed on waivers by the Bruins on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Mitchell landed on the injured non-roster list for an undisclosed reason ahead of the regular season, but he appears to be back to full health a few days later. He'll head to the minors if he clears waivers.

OCTOBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Designated as injured non-roster Mitchell was placed on the injured non-roster list for an undisclosed reason Monday, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.

Impact While it's not yet clear what injury Mitchell is dealing with, it appears as though he'll be sidelined to begin the regular season. He made just 13 appearances for the Bruins last year, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him spend time in the minors once he's healthy.

OCTOBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Signs one-year contract Mitchell signed a one-year, two-way contract with Boston on Sunday, per Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe.

Impact Mitchell earned two assists, 11 shots on goal and 13 blocked shots in 13 regular-season outings with Boston in 2023-24. He also had six goals and 24 points in 42 regular-season appearances for AHL Providence during the 2023-24 campaign. It wouldn't be a surprise if he spent most, if not all, of next season in the minors.

JUNE 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back to minors Mitchell was reassigned to AHL Providence on Friday, per CapFriendly.

Impact Mitchell hasn't dressed in an NHL game since Dec. 23. The 25-year-old has two assists in 13 appearances with Boston this season.

FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Called up Thursday Mitchell was recalled from AHL Providence on Thursday.

Impact Mitchell's recall could be bad news for Matt Grzelcyk's (lower body) availability Thursday versus the Flames. Over 13 games this season, Mitchell has two assists and 13 blocked shots at the NHL level.

FEBRUARY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Designated for waivers Mitchell was placed on waivers by the Bruins on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Mitchell has spent enough time on the NHL roster to be required to pass through waivers again after previously going unclaimed back in late October. Considering the blueliner has been a frequent healthy scratch since then in addition to logging just one assist in 11 games, it seems unlikely another team will claim his this time around either. As such, look for Mitchell to land in the minors with AHL Providence once he clears.

DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back with Boston Mitchell was recalled from AHL Providence on Saturday, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.

Impact Mitchell has been sent back and forth between the NHL and AHL frequently this season, though he could suit up with the Bruins on Saturday if Matt Grzelcyk (upper body) can't play. Mitchell has two assists through 12 games this year.
