Headlines

Mitchell on the ice for Game 1: Canucks D Willie Mitchell was able to play during Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Blackhawks Thursday despite suffering a lower-body injury in the first round. Mitchell had no points in 18:15 of ice time and finished at plus-1.

Fantasy Analysis

Mitchell had two assists in the clinching win in the first-round sweep of the Blues, his only two points of the series. Mitchell had a career-high 20 assists, 23 points and a plus-29 rating in 2008-09. He really benefited playing alongside Kevin Bieksa. Mitchell remains one of the premier defenders in the NHL, and while he had a nice offensive season, we aren't counting on a repeat performance in 2009-10. Mitchell will remain a low-end Fantasy defenseman and flier in leagues that reward heavily for short-handed stats and PIM.

D Willie Mitchell probably wouldn't mind seeing regular partner Sami Salo back for Game 5 in Vancouver on Saturday after missing games 3 and 4 in Chicago. Not that Mitchell was bad, but after playing a game-high 29:17 in Game 4 Thursday night, Mitchell coughed the puck up in his own end to create Chicago's tying goal with 2:44 left, and failed to tie up Andrew Ladd in front on Chicago's winning goal 2:52 into overtime, finishing an otherwise great game minus-2. D Ossi Vaananan actually replaced Salo in the lineup, but averaged less than 10 minutes in his two games, leaving players like Mitchell and Kevin Bieksa to eat up extra minutes. 58//2009
