After hectic stretch, Mittelstadt ready to put down roots with Buffalo Sabres
TORONTO — Casey Mittelstadt is looking forward to finally setting up shop in one place for an extended period of time.
If things go well for the Buffalo Sabres prospect, it could very well be as the franchise’s second-line centre on opening night.
Since the beginning of the 2015-16 season, Mittelstadt has crisscrossed the hockey landscape, playing with no fewer than nine teams at various levels and age groups.
Over the last two campaigns, he’s suited up in high school hockey, the USHL, the NCAA at the University of Minnesota and at the world junior championship for the United States before wrapping things up with a six-game Sabres stint to close out 2017-18.
