The Colorado Avalanche signed forward Casey Mittelstadt to a three-year contract, the team announced Tuesday. The deal is worth $5.75 million per season, a league source confirmed.
Since joining the Avs in a March trade with the Buffalo Sabres, Mittelstadt played in 18 regular-season games and made the first Stanley Cup Playoffs appearance of his career. Between Buffalo and Colorado, the 25-year-old racked up 57 points.
“Casey was a great fit for our lineup and a big contributor to our team down the stretch and in the playoffs,” Avalanche general manager Chris MacFarland said in a news release.
