The Cats have their captain back.
Florida Panthers defenseman Willie Mitchell has been activated off injured reserve in advance of Saturday's game against the New York Islanders.
The 37-year-old has been out since Feb. 3 with an upper-body injury, and his return to the lineup was delayed earlier this week by a flu bug going around the Panthers locker room.
