Plus 1: Mittelstadt Makes It Happen
Buffalo Sabres center Casey Mittelstadt has endured a tough and disappointing season until recently. He suffered two long-term injuries and as a result, hasn’t had a lot of ice time. So it was wonderful to see Mittelstadt get that opening goal on a Sabres power play in the first period.
