Overall, the 25-year-old netminder has a 16-9-6 record, a 2.54 GAA and an .895 save percentage across 33 outings this season.

Strong in relief appearance Schmid stopped all 14 shots he faced in relief of Adin Hill in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Mammoth.

Impact The Mammoth did get an empty-netter to seal the deal, but Schmid was sharp in his first game action since March 6. Hill was in his sixth straight start before getting pulled 8:12 into Thursday's contest. Schmid remains at 16-9-6 on the year with a 2.54 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 33 appearances.

Can't stop Wild Schmid allowed four goals on 24 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Wild.

Impact Schmid took his third straight regulation loss, and he's allowed 10 goals on 82 shots in those contests. The 25-year-old netminder is now at a 16-9-6 record with a 2.61 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 32 appearances. Adin Hill hasn't exactly inspired much confidence lately either, so the Golden Knights may opt to alternate their goalies until one gets hot. Schmid still has a good chance of racking up wins on a strong team, but his overall performance is risky for fantasy.
