2 months agoBuffalo Sabres center Casey Mittelstadt extended his point streak to three games with a two-assist effort Friday against the Rangers. He helped Jordan Greenway to make a scoring return to the lineup and also factored in on Jeff Skinner's game-winning goal in overtime. Mittelstadt is currently playing with Skinner and Alex Tuch on the first line as Tage Thompson's (upper body) replacement. Thompson has missed the last two contests and could easily miss another one, with Buffalo back on the ice Saturday versus Philadelphia. It's been a solid season for Mittelstadt with a career-high 46 points in 74 games, but a top-line role has given his fantasy value an extra boost.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
