NEUTRAL-ZONE RISK/REWARD RATING
Mitchell had far fewer neutral-zone events than offensive and defensive-zone events. He had a neutral-zone ratio of 2.50 successful plays for every 1 unsuccessful play, but had a below-average rating of 0.20. His rating is more a product of his low event total than his performance. He lost one race to a loose-puck in the neutral-zone, but was successful with 4 of 5 attempts to dump the puck deep into the offensive-zone.
