> Mittelstadt finally took a significant step by posting career highs in goals (15), assists (44) and points (59), while averaging 15:44 of ice time. He spent the bulk of the season at left wing on the third line, then moved back to center when Thompson was limited by injuries in March and April. Mittelstadt had five goals and 17 points in the final 11 games.
> The Sabres outscored opponents 11-4 at 5-on-5 when Mittelstadt centered Alex Tuch and Jeff Skinner, according to NaturalStatTrick. The performance showed that Mittelstadt can contribute while skating with elite players against the opponent’s best. Granato will have the option to play Mittelstadt or Jost at center as Buffalo tries to piece together an effective lineup.
So Lance writes the above but then continues to push Matt Savoie or Jiri Kulich playing up full time and Mittelstadt as the 3C with Greenway and Olofsson. Which is something and words on the screen.
