"Mittelstadt missed Tuesday's regular-season finale against the Devils to be there for the birth of his son, with his fiancée getting induced that day. 'It went a little longer than we expected, but everything went great and went well,' Mittelstadt said."
"'I didn't think it was going to happen that soon, but it was an exciting call,' Zacha said. 'It was weird leaving the game too, and it was just completely different mindsets, kind of leaving, and then you had to refocus on something completely different.'"
"'I saw Macklin yesterday,' Zacha said Thursday of visiting the new addition to the Mittelstadt family. 'It was really cool. Now we're three doors down [from each other], so it was really nice that we could both be there and experience the same thing.'"
Casey Mittelstadt and Pavel Zacha, forwards for the Boston Bruins, welcomed new children just days apart while preparing for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Mittelstadt's son, Macklin, was born on Tuesday, while Zacha's daughter, Penelope, arrived the following day. Both players experienced the joy of fatherhood in close proximity, with Zacha visiting Mittelstadt's newborn. Mittelstadt missed a game to be present for his son's birth, while Zacha left a game early to be with his wife. Both players are focused on their families and the upcoming playoffs.
