The Buffalo Sabres re-signed center Casey Mittelstadt to a three-year, $7.5 million contract Thursday.

Mittelstadt, a restricted free agent, was selected in the first round of the 2017 draft. The 22-year-old from Minnesota overcame early career inconsistencies to finish third on the Sabres with 10 goals and fourth with 22 points in just 41 games last season.
