"Good fortune was on Casey Mittelstadt's side Wednesday night as a ricocheting puck rolled straight toward him - and an open Sabres net. 'Obviously, it was a weird bounce, and kind of ended up there with kind of an empty net,' the Bruins forward said. 'So we'll take as many of those as we can get.'"
"Mittelstadt's efforts in the seconds leading up to that tally weren't predicated on unpredictable caroms or unsustainable flukes. It was Mittelstadt who helped keep that offensive-zone possession alive in the third period alongside a second line that has continued to carve up the competition this season."
"Mittelstadt, a former top-10 pick whose career was seemingly rudderless at this point last year, got the job done, emerging victorious from that puck pursuit with Doan to keep the play alive."
Casey Mittelstadt scored his 14th goal of the season, equalizing the game at 3-3 with six minutes left. The goal resulted from a fortunate bounce after a one-timer from Jonathan Aspirot. Mittelstadt's efforts included maintaining offensive-zone possession and battling for the puck against Buffalo's Josh Doan. His determination and teamwork were key in setting up the goal, demonstrating that success comes from hard work and not just luck.
