Tagged with loss Schmid stopped 15 of 18 shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to Montreal.

Impact Schmid was unable to make an impact between the pipes Friday, and this outing means he's now winless over his last three games. He owns a 3.21 GAA and an .865 save percentage over that stretch. Despite the recent woes, Schmid should remain as the No. 1 goaltender for the Golden Knights as long as Adin Hill (lower body) remains out.

Impact Schmid has gone 0-0-2 in his last two outings while allowing seven goals on 56 shots. He has a 9-1-4 record with a 2.47 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 14 appearances this season. Montreal sits third in the league with 3.45 goals per game in the 2025-26 campaign.

Shaky start in shootout loss Schmid allowed three goals on 23 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Senators.

Impact Schmid lost past regulation time for the second game in a row. He gave up three goals in the first period and then stopped two of three shootout attempts, though Linus Ullmark was perfect in the skills competition. Schmid has given up seven goals on 56 shots in that span, a fairly pedestrian level of play after his recent three-game winning streak. Overall, Schmid is now at 9-1-4 with a 2.47 GAA and a .900 save percentage in 14 appearances. The Golden Knights' next two games are also at home, as they'll face the Canadiens on Friday and the Sharks on Saturday. Schmid and Carl Lindbom are likely to split those games.

Starting against Ottawa Schmid was the first goalie off during Wednesday's morning skate, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against Ottawa.

Impact Schmid has been relatively effective across the past several weeks, going 5-0-3 with a 2.33 GAA and .906 save percentage over his last eight starts. The Senators are scoring 3.14 goals per game this season, which is tied for the ninth-best mark in the NHL.

Falls in overtime Schmid gave up four goals on 33 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Impact This game had firewagon potential after the teams combined for five goals in the first period. Schmid couldn't protect Vegas' 3-2 lead that came out of that, and a turnover in overtime ended up sending him to a defeat, his first in four games. He hasn't lost in regulation since Oct. 25 versus the Panthers. Schmid has been reliable with a 9-1-3 record, a 2.45 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 13 appearances. The 25-year-old netminder started three games in a row for the first time this year, further cementing his status as the No. 1 goalie until Adin Hill (lower body) returns or Carter Hart (suspension) is elevated to the active roster. The Golden Knights' next game is in Utah on Monday.

Impact Schmid has won his last three outings while allowing only four goals on 68 shots. He has a 9-1-2 record with one shutout, a 2.33 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 12 appearances this season. Anaheim ranks third in the league with 3.57 goals per game this campaign.

Strong outing Thursday Schmid made 25 saves on 26 attempts on goal in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Mammoth.

Impact Schmid's elite run continued Thursday as he allowed just one goal near the midway point in the second period. He's won each of his last three starts and has a 1.33 GAA and a.941 save percentage in that span. Overall, the 25-year-old goaltender has a 9-1-2 record with a 2.33 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 12 appearances this season. Schmid has been one of the top goaltending stories of the season, stepping up for the team's opening night starter Adin Hill, who has been out of the lineup since Oct. 20 with a lower-body injury. Even when Hill returns, Schmid has done more than enough to earn a time share between the pipes for Vegas and should be a solid goaltending option in most fantasy formats for the foreseeable future. His next chance to guard the crease is Saturday in Anaheim.

Impact Schmid didn't face a lot of traffic, and the Golden Knights never faced a deficit in this contest. This was Schmid's second straight win, and he's 4-0-2 over his last six outings. He's yet to have a game where he's faced 30 shots, as the Vegas defense is keeping things easy on him. For the season, the Swiss netminder is 8-1-2 with a 2.45 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 11 appearances. The Golden Knights begin a three-game road trip Thursday in Utah.

Rookie forward Braeden Bowman scored his second career goal and the Vegas Golden Knights defeated the New York Rangers 3-2

NOVEMBER 19 • Associated Press

First off Tuesday Schmid will draw the home start Tuesday versus the Rangers, according to Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

Impact Schmid heads into Tuesday's contest with a 7-1-2 record, 2.50 GAA and .900 save percentage through 10 outings this year. Schmid is currently operating as the team's No. 1 netminder, but that will change once Adin Hill (lower body) and Carter Hart (suspension) are in the lineup. The Rangers have found the back of the net 15 times across their last five games, a span in which they are 3-2-0, but 13 of those goals came in back-to-back wins over the Predators and Lightning.

Schmid is now 7-1-2 with a 2.50 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 10 appearances this season. He started consecutive games for the first time this year.
