Avalanche's Casey Mittelstadt: Continues surge with new team

Mittelstadt scored Colorado's first goal in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Rangers.

Mittelstadt has fit in well in Colorado since joining the team at the trade deadline. He went without a point in the two games prior to Thursday, but he's registered at least one point in six of nine games with the Avs. He hasn't had an explosive game yet, though. He hasn't had more than a single point in a game and hasn't taken more than two shots in a game with Colorado. Still, while it's not game-breaking production, his offensive contributions have been consistent with the Avalanche so far.
