Casey Mittelstadt made his mark with the Buffalo Sabres last season. Can he have a repeat year in 2023-24 and stay with the team long-term?
It’s not often that you see a player more than double their career-high points total in their fifth full season, but that’s exactly what Buffalo Sabres forward Casey Mittelstadt did in 2022-23. After struggling for the season’s first two months, Mittelstadt went on a tirade and finished the year with 59 points, 15 goals, and 44 assists.
The oft-injured Mittelstadt was ironically the only Sabre to play in all 82 games last season, showing us that he might have even improved his durability.
