Islanders' Travis Mitchell: Loaned to AHL affiliate

Mitchell was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Saturday.

Mitchell was a healthy scratch in two games after being summoned from the minors. The defenseman has yet to make his NHL debut. He had three assists in 12 AHL games before his recall. Scott Mayfield (personal) could return against Colorado on Sunday after the birth of his first child, and Mitchel's demotion opens a roster spot.
