Set to face Anaheim Schmid is expected to start at home against Anaheim on Saturday, per SinBin Vegas.

Impact Schmid has a 6-1-0 record, 2.31 GAA and .908 save percentage in seven appearances in 2025-26. He earned a 24-save shutout over Detroit in his last start Tuesday. Although expectations weren't high for Anaheim going into the campaign, the Ducks are 9-3-1 and rank first in goals per game with 4.15, so this might be a challenging assignment for Schmid.

Posts second career shutout Schmid recorded a 24-save shutout in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Schmid had no margin for error throughout the game, and he made Ivan Barbashev's second-period tally stand as the winner. This was Schmid's second career NHL shutout and his first as a Golden Knight. He's up to 6-1-0 with a 2.31 GAA and a .908 save percentage through seven appearances this season. The 25-year-old continues to operate as the starter while Adin Hill (lower body) works his way back. The Golden Knights continue their homestand Thursday versus the Lightning.

Schmid makes 24 saves, Barbashev scores in Golden Knights' 1-0 victory over Red Wings

Akira Schmid made 24 saves for his second regular-season NHL shutout, Ivan Barbashev scored and the Vegas Golden Knights beat the Detroit Red Wings 1-0 on Tuesday night

NOVEMBER 5, 2025 • Associated Press

First off Tuesday Schmid was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, SinBin Vegas reports, indicating he will start Tuesday's home matchup versus Detroit.

Impact Schmid is coming off a 21-save effort in last Tuesday's 6-3 win over Carolina. He has a 5-1-0 record this season while allowing 15 goals on 139 shots. Detroit is tied for 14th in the league with 3.23 goals per game this campaign.

Hangs on for fifth win Schmid made 21 saves in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Logan Stankoven ripped a shot from the slot past Schmid early in the third period to give Carolina a 3-2 lead, but the 25-year-old netminder shut the door the rest of the way while the Vegas offense took control. Schmid has benefitted from some impressive support in the early going, with the Golden Knights scoring at least four goals in all five of his wins -- helping to explain why his 5-1-0 record is outpacing his 2.73 GAA and .892 save percentage. Adin Hill (lower body) still lacks a timeline for his return and Carter Hart (suspension) won't be eligible for the NHL roster until December, so Schmid will continue to hold down the fort in the Vegas crease.

Facing Hurricanes Schmid will protect the road goal versus the Hurricanes on Tuesday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact Schmid will try to bounce back from his first loss of the season, when he gave up three goals on 26 shots to the Panthers on Saturday. He's won his other four outings while posting a 2.67 GAA and an .896 save percentage overall, including a 22-save relief performance over the Hurricanes on Oct. 20.

Picks up first loss Schmid made 23 saves on 26 attempts on net in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Schmid allowed three even-strength goals Saturday, including two in the third period. However, a bright spot in his outing came in the second period, as he kept the reigning Stanley Cup Champions off the scoresheet. Overall, the 25-year-old goalie has 4-1-0 record with a 2.67 GAA and a .896 save percentage across five appearances. With starting goaltender Adin Hill considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury, Schmid should see the bulk of reps between the pipes for Vegas, and deservingly so with his solid start to the campaign. Current backup Carl Lindbom will likely guard the crease for the Golden Knights Sunday in the latter half of a back-to-back, but Schmid has strong streaming value in fantasy moving forward playing for a Vegas squad that is 5-1-2 out of the gate.

Set to face Florida Schmid is expected to start on the road against Florida on Saturday, per David Dwork of The Hockey News.

Impact Schmid has won his first four outings of the season while stopping 80 of 89 shots (.899 save percentage). Meanwhile, the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions have struggled lately. Florida has dropped five of its past six games while averaging just 1.83 goals per game over that span. The Panthers are still a dangerous team, but this might be as good a time as any to face them.

Earns win in relief Schmid stopped 22 of 23 shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Schmid had to step up in relief for an injured Adin Hill (lower body) for the second time this season. He was outstanding against the undefeated Hurricanes and stopped all but one of the shots he faced en route to earning his fourth win of the campaign in an equal number of appearances. Schmid is expected to operate as the Golden Knights' No. 1 netminder if Hill is forced to miss time, and right now, he'd be slated to start against the Panthers on Saturday if Hill weren't able to return.

Golden Knights goalie Adin Hill leaves game in first period with injury

OCTOBER 21, 2025 • Associated Press

Lackluster in start Thursday Schmid allowed five goals on 24 shots in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Bruins.

Impact While he escaped with the win, Schmid's shaky goaltending in the third period nearly allowed the Bruins back in. This was Schmid's third win of the season, but he's now allowed eight goals on 66 shots for an .879 save percentage. Adin Hill was able to back up Thursday after being cleared of a lower-body injury sustained Tuesday versus the Flames. That likely means Schmid will return to a backup role -- or a timeshare at best -- moving forward. The Golden Knights host the Flames on Saturday for their next game.

Set to start Thursday Schmid is expected to start at home against Boston on Thursday, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Impact Schmid has a 2-0-0 record, 1.80 GAA and .929 save percentage in two appearances this year. Head coach Bruce Cassidy said this was a scheduled start for Schmid, so his assignment presumably doesn't have anything to do with Adin Hill's lower-body injury. It's still possible that Hill will serve as the backup goaltender Thursday. If Hill can't, then Vegas will need to recall a netminder from AHL Henderson.
