Kings Activate Mitchell

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Kings have activated former Clarkson defenseman Willie Mitchell from the injured list, Kings President/General Manager Dean Lombardi announced today.  

Mitchell, 33, suffered an upper-body injury on November 6 at STAPLES Center during the Kings’ victory against Nashville.  He was placed on the injured list on November 9 (retroactive to November 7) and has missed the Kings’ last 14 games.  Mitchell is expected to be in the line-up tonight when the Kings play at Detroit.

In 13 games this season, his first with the Kings, he has five points (1-4=5) and five penalty minutes.
