Schmid signed a two-year, $1.75 million contract with the Golden Knights on Wednesday, per CapFriendly. - Schmid was traded from the Devils to the Golden Knights at the draft, but he did not receive a qualifying offer. This allowed the 24-year-old goalie to test free agency, but Vegas was able to get a deal done with him anyway. The Golden Knights also signed Ilya Samsonov on Monday to a one-year, $1.8 million deal, so it's likely Schmid will spend the bulk of 2024-25 at AHL Henderson. |

Schmid will become an unrestricted free agent after not receiving a qualifying offer from Vegas, but could still sign a new deal with the team, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. - Schmid was acquired from the Devils on Saturday in a trade that sent Logan Thompson to New Jersey. Schmid went 5-9-1 last year with a 3.15 GAA and an .895 save percentage in 19 appearances. Should he sign a new deal with Vegas, he'll likely be the primary backup behind Adin Hill. |

Schmid and Alexander Holtz were acquired by the Golden Knights from the Devils on Saturday in exchange for Paul Cotter and a 2025 third-round draft pick. - Schmid had a 5-9-1 record, 3.15 GAA and .895 save percentage in 19 appearances with the Devils during the 2023-24 campaign. He also posted a 3.06 GAA and an .894 save percentage across 23 regular-season outings with AHL Utica. The 24-year-old netminder is expected to begin the 2024-25 campaign as the third goaltender on the franchise's depth chart, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal Adin Hill will serve as the starter, while Vegas will attempt to sign a backup netminder when the free agent market opens Monday. Schmid is likely to start the campaign in the minors, though he would be the first option for a promotion if one of the Golden Knights' goaltenders suffers an injury. |

Schmid was reassigned to AHL Utica on Wednesday. - Schmid has a 3.15 GAA and an .895 save percentage in 19 contests with New Jersey this season, but his last start at the NHL level was March 5. His return to the minors might indicate that Kaapo Kahkonen (lower body) will be available for Thursday's road game against Toronto. |

Schmid was recalled from the minors Tuesday. - Schmid's last NHL start came March 5, when he recorded 26 saves on 30 shots in a 5-3 loss to the Panthers. The 23-year-old has struggled this year compared to last year, posting an .895 save percentage and a 5-9-1 record in 19 top-level appearances in 2023-24. He may see a start in the last four games of the season for the Devils. |

The Devils recalled Schmid from AHL Utica on Friday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - The Devils needed a second goaltender as Jake Allen (visa issues) and Kaapo Kahkonen (travel) are unavailable to back up Nico Daws on Saturday. This could be Schmid's last appearance in a Devils uniform this season, as New Jersey's deadline deals have bumped him down to fourth on the depth chart. Look for Schmid to be sent back to Utica after Saturday's tilt. |

Schmid was reassigned to AHL Utica on Friday, according to Mike Morreale of NHL.com. - The Devils acquired Kaapo Kahkonen from San Jose and Jake Allen from Montreal on Friday, so Schmid might spend the rest of the season in the minors.

Schmid stopped 26 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Florida, with the Panthers' final goal getting scored into an empty net. - The Devils rallied from an early 2-0 deficit, but Schmid couldn't hold the momentum and gave up the go-ahead goal less than two minutes after Timo Meier had tied it up in the second period. New Jersey's coaching switch didn't solve the team's defensive woes overnight, so whoever's between the pipes for the Devils could continue to see a large volume of high-danger chances. Schmid hasn't won a game in the NHL since Dec. 16, and over four appearances since being called back up from AHL Utica, he's given up seven goals on 74 shots (.905 save percentage.) |

Schmid will get the starting nod at home versus the Panthers on Tuesday, James Nicols of New Jersey Hockey Now reports. - Schmid is coming off back-to-back relief appearances in which he stopped all 18 combined shots he faced. The netminding continues to be a problem for the Devils, with the club tied to multiple players for a possible move ahead of Friday's trade deadline. If that does happen, Schmid will almost certainly be sent back to AHL Utica. |
None |
| March 4, 2024 |
Schmid stopped all nine shots he faced after replacing Nico Daws midway through the second period of Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Kings. - The 23-year-old netminder has been needed in relief in two straight games, as Daws continues to implode. Schmid has allowed three goals on 44 shots over three appearances since returning to the NHL roster in late February, and if the Devils don't trade for a goalie at the deadline, he could get another look in the No. 1 role. |

Schmid stopped all nine shots he faced in relief of Nico Daws in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks. Daws was credited with the defeat. - Schmid played the third period and gave the Devils a chance to get back in the contest. Tyler Toffoli's power-play goal cut the deficit to one, but they were unable to pull even. Schmid has made two appearances during his current NHL stint, allowing three goals on 35 shots. With Daws' recent inconsistency, Schmid could have a chance to start in the near future. Schmid is 5-8-1 with a 3.17 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 17 NHL appearances this season. |

| Feb. 26, 2024 |
Schmid stopped 23 of 26 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning. The fourth goal was an empty-netter. - Making his first NHL start since Dec. 21, Schmid kept the Bolts off the scoreboard through the first period but things unraveled quickly to begin the second, as he was beaten twice in the first five minutes. The 23-year-old netminder hadn't been particularly impressive during his stint with AHL Utica, and his 3.47 GAA and .886 save percentage through 13 games for the minor-league club are actually worse than his 3.24 GAA and .892 save percentage in 16 contests for the Devils. Schmid will need to perform much better to put any pressure on Nico Daws for the top spot in the crease. |

Schmid was summoned from AHL Utica on Saturday. - In a corresponding move, Isaac Poulter was returned to the minors. Schmid stopped 17 of 19 shots in a 2-1 loss to Syracuse on Friday after being sent to the AHL on Wednesday. He hadn't been in net for New Jersey since Dec. 21, so that extra work allowed him to shake off some rust. Nico Daws started for the Devils on Saturday, so Schmid might play between the pipes in Sunday's home game against Tampa Bay. |

Schmid was reassigned to AHL Utica on Thursday. - Schmid will need a reset in the AHL after going 5-7-1 with a 3.25 GAA and an .893 save percentage in 15 NHL appearances this season. Schmid was pulled in his last start after giving up two goals on six shots in the first five minutes of the opening period. The Devils will roll with Vitek Vanecek and Nico Daws between the pipes at this time. |

Schmid made 23 saves in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets. - The Devils scored 47 seconds into the game and never looked back, giving Schmid a fairly easy evening in the crease. The 23-year-old has worked his way into a timeshare with Vitek Vanecek, and over his last six appearances Schmid has gone 4-2-0 with a 2.80 GAA and .909 save percentage -- not elite numbers, but better than Vanecek has managed during that same period. |

Schmid stopped 12 of 17 shots in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Sharks. The sixth goal was an empty-netter. - Anthony Duclair and Jacob MacDonald each snapped long droughts with two-goal games and Mikael Granlund added three points as Schmid struggled. After posting solid performances in five of his previous six outings, Schmid's poor showing against a Sharks team playing the second half of a back-to-back was discouraging, though this was also the 23-year-old's second game in a row in the crease. The Devils will have some time to collect themselves before beginning a four-game road trip Tuesday in Vancouver. |

None |
| Nov. 29, 2023 |
Schmid turned aside all eight shots he faced after replacing Vitek Vanecek in the second period of Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Islanders. - The switch in the crease provided a spark to the Devils, and Schmid wound up getting credited with the win after his team erased a 4-2 deficit in the third. It's the 23-year-old netminder's first in November after four losing decisions, but his 2.40 GAA and .917 save percentage on the month are far superior to Vanecek's 3.66 GAA and .867 save percentage over nine appearances. It may not be long before Schmid takes over the No. 1 job for New Jersey. |
None |
| Nov. 25, 2023 |
Schmid stopped 26 shots in Friday's 2-1 loss to Columbus. - All the scoring came in the first period, and Schmid had little chance on either Blue Jackets tally. He locked things down over the final two frames, but so did Elvis Merzlikins in the other crease. Schmid has lost all four of his starts in November, but he's given up two goals or less in three of them as the Devils have had trouble providing him with much offensive support, and the 23-year-old netminder has a 2.69 GAA and .911 save percentage during his losing streak. |

Through five games played this season, he has a 1-2-1 record with a 3.09 GAA and an .898 save percentage. The Jets rank 10th in the league with 3.50 goals per contest this campaign. |
None |

Schmid stopped 20 of 21 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Capitals after replacing Vitek Vanecek midway through the first period. - Two goals in 15 seconds against Vanecek put the Devils in an early hole, and Lindy Ruff's decision to switch goalies looked like it might pay off when the team nearly tied things up with a third-period rally. Schmid hasn't won a game since Oct. 20, allowing six goals on 62 shots in his three appearances since, but with Vanecek struggling, the 23-year-old netminder could see his workload increase beginning with Tuesday's game in Winnipeg. |
None |

Schmid will get the starting nod in St. Louis on Friday, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. - Schmid was chased early in his last outing Oct. 25 after coughing up three goals on just eight shots against Washington.

Schmid is slated to start at home against Washington on Wednesday. - Schmid and Vitek Vanecek have been alternating starts with the latter stopping 27 of 29 shots in a 5-2 victory over Montreal on Tuesday. In contrast, Schmid has struggled, allowing seven goals on 65 shots (.892 save percentage) over two contests this season, so he'll be looking to rebound Wednesday. The Capitals have averaged just 1.20 goals per game in 2023-24, so there's an opportunity here for Schmid to have a good game. |

Schmid will protect the road goal versus the Islanders on Friday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - Schmid and Vitek Vanecek have alternated starts so far. This is Schmid's second outing of the season -- he took a shootout loss against the Coyotes in his season debut. Through two games, the Islanders' offense hasn't shown much pop with just four goals, making this a favorable matchup for the 23-year-old netminder. |
None |
| Oct. 14, 2023 |
Schmid allowed three goals on 33 shots in Friday's 4-3 shootout loss against the Coyotes. - Schmid fell into a 2-0 hole early in the second period, but the offense bailed him out with three unanswered goals.

Schmid was beaten by Jordan Martinook towards the end of the second frame, but he was great the rest of the way. Schmid, who wasn't charged with the loss Tuesday, has a 4-3 record, 2.29 GAA and .921 save percentage in eight playoff outings this year. It wouldn't be surprising to see him start in Game 5 on Thursday, given how badly Vanecek has struggled in the postseason. |

The 22-year-old goaltender was effective in the regular season too, posting a 9-5-2 record, 2.13 GAA and .922 save percentage in 18 outings. Although Schmid has contained the Rangers, Vitek Vanecek started in the first two contests of the series, and New York scored 10 goals in that span. |

| April 22, 2023 |
Schmid was the first goaltender off the ice Saturday, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports. - This is usually an indication as who the starting goaltender is, but coach Lindy Ruff said that the starting goaltending decision will be a game-time decision. The Devils are down 2-0 in the best-of-seven series with Games 3 and 4 in New York, so Ruff could switch things up and go with Schmid rather than No. 1 goaltender Vitek Vanecek. Schmid was 9-5-2 with a 2.13 GAA and .922 save percentage this season. |
None |
| April 13, 2023 |
Schmid was called up by New Jersey on Thursday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com. - Schmid has an 8-5-2 record, 2.24 GAA and .918 save percentage in 17 contests with New Jersey in 2022-23.

Schmid made 20 saves in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Lightning on Thursday. - Steven Stamkos was Schmidt's kryptonite -- the sniper beat him twice from the left circle, once in the second and again in the third. Ross Colton was awarded a goal early in the game when a shot ricocheted off his knee and past an unsuspecting Schmid. The netminder has continued to impress during this call-up. He is 3-0-2 in his last five starts, including one shutout and just nine goals allowed. |

Still, as the No. 2 option, Schmid won't offer more than middling fantasy value. |

For the season, Schmid has a 6-4-1 record with a 2.00 GAA and a .926 save percentage in 12 appearances. Vitek Vanecek will likely get the nod for Sunday's game in Arizona. |

He will get the second half of New Jersey's back-to-back after Vitek Vanecek played in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers. The Devils sent Mackenzie Blackwood (knee) to the AHL on a conditioning loan Tuesday, so Schmid may be returning to the minors once Blackwood is ready to return to the big club. |

Schmid will patrol the road crease during Saturday's matinee matchup versus the Senators, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - Schmid wasn't busy in his last start last Saturday against Arizona, but he did enough to pick up his second win of the season, turning aside 16 of the 18 shots he faced. He'll try to pick up a second straight victory in a matchup with an Ottawa team that's averaging 3.44 goals per game this campaign, 10th in the NHL. |

Schmid is expected to start at home against Arizona on Saturday, according to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site. - Schmid is getting an opportunity to play because goaltenders Jonathan Bernier (hip), Mackenzie Blackwood (MCL sprain) and Vitek Vanecek (undisclosed) are all unavailable. Schmid is making his first NHL start of the season, though he did stop the seven shots he faced when he was brought into Thursday's 4-3 overtime win against Ottawa. He also has a 1.97 GAA and .918 save percentage in four AHL contests this season. Arizona has the 23rd-ranked offense with 2.85 goals per game, so the Coyotes shouldn't be the toughest of challenges for Schmid. Nico Daws is set to serve as the backup goaltender. |

Schmid made seven saves, including five in overtime, in his season debut Thursday in relief in a 4-3 win over the Senators. - Vitek Vanecek appeared to be hurt in a collision with Thomas Chabot in the second period, but he remained in the game after a trainer checked him out. Schmid came into the game at 10:37 of the third period for precautionary reasons and performed well, earning the win. Before stepping in Thursday, Schmid was 0-4 with a 4.83 GAA and .833 save percentage in his NHL career. The Devils will find out more about Vanecek's status on Friday, and if he's out long, the crease will be Schmid's. |

Schmid was recalled from AHL Utica on Saturday. - Schmid was recalled as Mackenzie Blackwood (undisclosed) was injured Thursday against the Oilers and the Devils will need a backup to Vitek Vanecek when they play Calgary on Saturday. Schmid has gone 2-1-1 with a 1.97 GAA and a .918 save percentage for Utica this season. |

Schmid was reassigned to AHL Utica on Saturday, per CapFriendly. - Schmid and Nico Daws swapped places Saturday, presumably to allow the former to get some playing time with Utica.

Schmid was promoted from AHL Utica on Thursday. - Schmid has posted a 12-2-2 record with a 2.15 GAA and .929 save percentage over 16 games with AHL Utica this season. He will return to the NHL and look to earn his first top-level win of the season after starting 0-4-0 over six appearances. |

The Devils reassigned Schmid to AHL Utica on Friday. - Schmid yields his spot on the depth chart to Nico Daws, whom the Devils recalled Friday. The fifth-round pick from 2018 has a 4.83 GAA and .833 save percentage through six appearances this season, numbers which don't suggest he'll see much NHL action going forward. |

Schmid replaced Jon Gillies for the third period of Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the Maple Leafs and allowed one goal on eight shots. - The change in net provided a brief spark for the Devils, as they scored the first goal of the final frame to cut Toronto's lead to 6-1. Mitch Marner promptly answered with his second goal of the game - and second against Schmid in as many nights - to restore Toronto's six-goal lead. Neither of New Jersey's fill-in netminders should be in fantasy lineups most nights, and especially not against elite offensive teams like the Maple Leafs. |

Schmid is expected to man the crease on the road versus Toronto on Monday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - Schmid will be making his first appearance since getting shelled to the tune of three goals on seven shots versus Dallas on Jan. 25. In four NHL outings this year, the 21-year-old netminder is 0-3-0 with a 5.00 GAA and .824 save percentage. With starter Mackenzie Blackwood (heel) facing an extended absence, Schmid should continue to see the occasional start behind Jon Gillies. |

Schmid stopped four of seven shots before being replaced by Jon Gillies to begin the second period of Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Stars. - Called back up from AHL Utica earlier in the day, Schmid did not look ready for prime time in his first NHL action since Dec. 18. With Mackenzie Blackwood (heel) on the shelf, however, he will have to hold down the fort in net for New Jersey alongside Gillies, although Schmid's 5.00 GAA and .824 save percentage in four appearances for the Devils this season doesn't suggest the 21-year-old should be anywhere near a fantasy roster. |
