Casey Mittelstadt(Center)(C)|Boston Bruins BOS

Signing

The Sabres signed Casey Mittelstadt to a one-year deal worth $874,125.

Mittelstadt has yet to live up to the billing of being selected No.8 overall in 2017 and that led to him being demoted to the AHL in 2020. He had nine points (4G / 5A) in 31 games with the Sabres before being sent to Rochester, where he tallied 25 points (9G / 16A) in 36 games. Mittelstadt is expected to get a spot in the Sabres' bottom-6 to start the 2021 season but has a lot to prove if he's going to get a raise next summer.

Goalie Start

Korpisalo led the Blue Jackets onto the ice for warmups.

Korpisalo was 2-1 while posting a 1.45 GAA, .956 SV% and two shutouts in four starts vs. the Maple Leafs in the qualifying round. It was a terrific showing from Korpisalo, who is now the unquestioned No.1 in Columbus with Elvis Merzlikins out indefinitely. Korpisalo did not face the Lightning during the 2020 regular season.
