Sabres sign Mittelstadt to entry-level deal

Casey Mittelstadt's college career is over.

The University of Minnesota forward has agreed to terms on a three-year, entry-level contract with the Buffalo Sabres, the team announced Monday.

In 34 games with the Golden Gophers this season, Mittelstadt collected 11 goals and 19 assists, finishing second in team scoring.

The Minnesota native was also a key contributor for Team USA at the 2018 World Junior Championship, as he picked up 11 points across seven appearances.

Mittelstadt is expected to join the Sabres' roster later this week, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports.

The Sabres selected Mittelstadt with the eighth overall pick in the 2017 draft.
