It was an interesting season for Torrey Mitchell, to say the least. What started on an encouraging note, including three goals in the first five games, ended with several games in the press box as he found himself as a healthy scratch towards the end of the year.
He saw a slight dip in his production compared to the previous season, mostly in the goals department, as his goals per 60 minutes fell from .80 to .45. His defensive numbers were eerily similar to 2015-16. Mitchell didn’t particularly play himself out of the lineup as much as he was ousted by a handful of below-replacement-level players that were acquired at the deadline.
