Casey Mittelstadt News: Responds well to scratch

Mittelstadt had two assists in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers.

Mittelstadt was a healthy scratch Sunday versus the Mammoth, but he bounced back with his first multi-point effort of the season. He also returned to a second-line role and a spot on the second power-play unit. The 26-year-old is at four points, six shots on net and a minus-1 rating through seven appearances this season. Mittelstadt has struggled to be consistent on offense in recent years, and that's unlikely to change for a Bruins team that is middle-of-the-road at best.
