2015-16 Canadiens Season Review: Torrey Mitchell

It was an interesting year for Torrey Mitchell. In the 2014-15 review, he was reasonably projected to hit 10-15 points, which given his roll and deployment, would have been a perfectly acceptable.

Instead, Mitchell scored 11 goals (three of which were game winners), and picked up eight assists, all while playing heavy defensive minutes with Brian Flynn, and Devante Smith-Pelly or Paul Byron.

Mitchell started off the season on one of the best fourth lines in the NHL, where he, and some combination of Brian Flynn, Smith-Pelly and Byron were fast, adequate in their own end, and even chipped in a decent amount of points - including a number of shorties.
