Akira Schmid - NHL News & Rumors

Comes up short against Caps Schmid made 27 saves in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Florida took a 2-1 lead into the second period, but shaky defensive play in front of Schmid was a big factor in his inability to make it stick. The 26-year-old netminder saw a three-start win streak fall by the wayside, and on the season Schmid sports a 5-3-1 record with a 3.00 GAA and .886 save percentage.

Guarding crease Tuesday Schmid will defend the road net against Winnipeg on Tuesday, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

Impact Schmid is coming off a 19-save effort in Sunday's 3-2 win over Chicago. He has won three of his last four outings, improving to 3-2-1 this season with a 3.34 GAA and an .872 save percentage in six appearances. Winnipeg (4-4-3) sits 29th in the league during the 2026-27 campaign with 2.45 goals per game.

Makes 19 saves in road win Schmid stopped 19 of 21 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Schmid posted a single-game save percentage above .900 for the first time this season, and this performance against a struggling Chicago team was enough to snap the Panthers' brief two-game losing streak. His most important contribution came late in the third period, when he denied Cole Smith on a breakaway and stopped the ensuing rebound to preserve a 2-2 tie. Schmid should remain as the primary option between the pipes for Florida due to the absence of Jakob Markstrom (upper body).

Expected starter for Sunday Schmid is set to start on the road against Chicago on Sunday, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

Impact Schmid has a 2-2-1 record, 3.63 GAA and .867 save percentage in five appearances in 2026-27. His last start was Wednesday when he stopped 25 of 30 shots en route to a 5-1 loss to Ottawa. Chicago is 3-7-0 and has averaged just 2.20 goals per game, so this is a favorable assignment for Schmid.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Yields five goals in loss Schmid stopped 25 of 30 shots in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Senators.

Impact Schmid will be the Panthers' primary goalie while Jacob Markstrom (upper body) is on injured reserve. Schmid has played in four of the last five games as Markstrom continues to battled some ongoing injury concerns. For the year, Schmid is 2-2-1 with a 3.62 GAA and an .867 save percentage. He may be able to help fantasy managers who need more games, but his ratios have left a lot to be desired so far. However, it'll probably be Cooper Black making his NHL debut Thursday versus the Penguins as the Panthers complete a road back-to-back set.

Impact Schmid got the night off Saturday against Seattle, but he'll draw the start Wednesday for the third time in the Panthers' last four games. The 26-year-old is coming off back-to-back wins, and he posted a 2.50 GAA and .889 save percentage across that two-game span.

Hangs on for OT win Schmid made 15 saves in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canucks.

Impact Vancouver got two pucks by the 26-year-old netminder on just seven shots in the first period, but Schmid closed the door the rest of the way and finally got enough offense from Brady Tkachuk late to collect his second win of the season. With Jacob Markstrom nursing an undisclosed minor injury that could sideline him into next week, Schmid will likely take his 3.26 GAA and .876 save percentage through four outings into another start Saturday, at home against the Kraken.
