Scheduled to start Wednesday Schmid is slated to start at home against the Predators on Wednesday, according to Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Impact Schmid has lost out on playing time over the last month to Carter Hart, but Hart was lit up for five goals on 12 shots in Monday's loss to the Wild, so Vegas will turn back to Schmid for Wednesday's game. Schmid also replaced Hart in goal during Monday's defeat, stopping all 15 shots he faced. As for Wednesday's matchup, the Predators have been a more formidable opponent of late -- they have won four of their last five games while netting 16 goals in that span.

Struggles against Flames Schmid allowed five goals on 25 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Flames. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Schmid's in a playing time battle with Carter Hart, and this was not a performance the former could afford to have against a non-playoff team. This was one of Schmid's worst outings of the year, and he's posted a save percentage south of .900 in five of his last six games. He's at an 11-3-4 record with a 2.48 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 18 appearances this season. Hart is slated to start Sunday in Edmonton, and it looks like Schmid is settling into a backup role where he's fortunate to get in every three or four games.

He's taken just one regulation loss since the beginning of November, going 6-1-4 over his last 11 starts with a 2.13 GAA and .908 save percentage.

Drawing start against Philadelphia Schmid will start Thursday's road game against Philadelphia, Steve Carp of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Impact Schmid has lost out on some playing time recently since Carter Hart is now eligible to suit up for the Golden Knights. However, Hart won't start against his former team Thursday, so Schmid will defend the crease for the second time in the team's last six games. Schmid has made 10 starts since the beginning of November, and he's gone 5-1-4 with a 2.15 GAA and .909 save percentage during that time.

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.
