Clunker versus Sharks Schmid stopped 12 of 17 shots in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Sharks. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Anthony Duclair and Jacob MacDonald each snapped long droughts with two-goal games and Mikael Granlund added three points as Schmid struggled. After posting solid performances in five of his previous six outings, Schmid's poor showing against a Sharks team playing the second half of a back-to-back was discouraging, though this was also the 23-year-old's second game in a row in the crease. The Devils will have some time to collect themselves before beginning a four-game road trip Tuesday in Vancouver.

Guarding cage Friday Schmid will get the starting nod for Friday's home tilt with the Sharks, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Schmid is coming off an impressive performance against the Flyers on Thursday, stopping 44 of 47 shots in a victory. He's now won three straight decisions after dropping his previous four. During that losing skid, he still posted a respectable .911 save percentage. On the year, Schmid owns a 3.02 GAA and a .904 save percentage through nine outings.

Big performance in win Schmid made 44 saves in a 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers on Thursday.

Impact Schmid took a shutout into the third period, but Tyler Toffoli took that away at 4:31 while on the power play. And then things got dicey. Philly poured it on, scoring again at 15:00 and then forcing overtime with a game-typing goal at 19:09. Schmid earned the win when Luke Hughes scored just 28 seconds into the extra frame. Schmid is now 3-4-1 with a 3.02 GAA and .904 save percentage. He starts about every third game for the Devils and is yet to deliver consistency for his managers. So, weigh the matchup and hope he can throw down this type of effort when you put him in your net.

Starting Thursday Schmid will protect the road goal Thursday versus the Flyers, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Schmid earned the win in a relief outing Tuesday versus the Islanders after a poor start from Vitek Vanecek. Head coach Lindy Ruff will reward Schmid with the next start. The 23-year-old goalie is 1-4-0 in November, but with a solid 2.40 GAA and a .917 save percentage across five games.

Gets win in relief Tuesday Schmid turned aside all eight shots he faced after replacing Vitek Vanecek in the second period of Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Islanders.

Impact The switch in the crease provided a spark to the Devils, and Schmid wound up getting credited with the win after his team erased a 4-2 deficit in the third. It's the 23-year-old netminder's first in November after four losing decisions, but his 2.40 GAA and .917 save percentage on the month are far superior to Vanecek's 3.66 GAA and .867 save percentage over nine appearances. It may not be long before Schmid takes over the No. 1 job for Jersey.

Tough loss to Jackets Schmid stopped 26 shots in Friday's 2-1 loss to Columbus.

Impact All the scoring came in the first period, and Schmid had little chance on either Blue Jackets tally. He locked things down over the final two frames, but so did Elvis Merzlikins in the other crease. Schmid has lost all four of his starts in November, but he's given up two goals or less in three of them as the Devils have had trouble providing him with much offensive support, and the 23-year-old netminder has a 2.69 GAA and .911 save percentage during his losing streak.

Set to start Friday Schmid is expected to start at home against Columbus on Friday, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

Impact Schmid has lost his last three outings while allowing eight goals on 84 shots (.905 save percentage) over that stretch. He's 1-3-1 with a 3.46 GAA and an .885 save percentage in six contests this season. Columbus ranks 22nd offensively with 2.90 goals per game this campaign.

Fades late in loss Schmid stopped 25 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Jets. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Schmid had posted a couple of solid outings, most recently in relief of Vitek Vanecek versus the Capitals on Friday. In his first start since Nov. 3, Schmidt faltered after a strong first period and ended up with his worst full game of the campaign. The 23-year-old is down to 1-3-1 with a 3.46 GAA and an .885 save percentage through six games. Schmid may be eventually at risk of losing his spot on the NHL roster if he can't find a groove, though that's unlikely to happen until Nico Daws (undisclosed) is activated from the season-opening injured reserve.

Set to face Winnipeg Schmid was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, according to Devils play-by-play announcer Matt Loughlin, indicating he will defend the road net Tuesday against Winni...

Impact Schmid has stopped 51 of 54 shots in his past two appearances (0-2-0), including one in relief. Through five games played this season, he has a 1-2-1 record with a 3.09 GAA and an .898 save percentage. The Jets rank 10th in the league with 3.50 goals per contest this campaign.

NOVEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Needed in relief Friday Schmid stopped 20 of 21 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Capitals after replacing Vitek Vanecek midway through the first period.

Impact Two goals in 15 seconds off Vanecek put the Devils in an early hole, and Lindy Ruff's decision to switch goalies looked like it might pay off when the team nearly tied things up with a third-period rally. Schmid hasn't won a game since Oct. 20, allowing six goals on 62 shots in his three appearances since, but with Vanecek struggling the 23-year-old netminder could see his workload increase beginning with Tuesday's game in Winnipeg.

Takes loss in St. Louis Schmid allowed two goals on 33 shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Blues. The last two goals were empty-netters.

Impact Schmid put in his best game of the season, but the Devils' offense, sans Jack Hughes (lower body) for much of the game, couldn't support the goalie. Through four outings, Schmid is 1-1-1 with 12 goals allowed on 106 shots. Vitek Vanecek isn't exactly dominating, but he's been getting results lately, so he'll likely be back between the pipes for Sunday's game in Chicago.

Guarding cage Friday Schmid will get the starting nod in St. Louis on Friday, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Schmid was chased early in his last outing Oct. 25 after coughing up three goals on just eight shots against Washington. The 23-year-old has been tagged with 10 goals on 73 shots through three appearances. He's 1-0-1 but has allowed at least three goals in each appearance so far.

Pulled after shaky first period Schmid stopped five of eight shots in the first period of Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Schmid was replaced by Vitek Vanecek to begin the middle frame. The Devils' four-goal rally in the second period meant Schmid avoided the loss. With 10 goals allowed on 73 shots through three outings, the 23-year-old has yet to regain the form that he displayed over 18 contests last season. If Schmid continues to struggle, Vanecek could settle into a larger role. The Devils are back in action Friday at home versus the Sabres.

Set to start Wednesday Schmid is slated to start at home against Washington on Wednesday.

Impact Schmid and Vitek Vanecek have been alternating starts with the latter stopping 27 of 29 shots in a 5-2 victory over Montreal on Tuesday. In contrast, Schmid has struggled, allowing seven goals on 65 shots (.892 save percentage) over two contests this season, so he'll be looking to rebound Wednesday. The Capitals have averaged just 1.20 goals per game in 2023-24, so there's an opportunity here for Schmid to have a good game.

Wins wild game in overtime Schmid allowed four goals on 32 shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime win against the Islanders.

Impact Schmid wasn't at his best, but he was the beneficiary of four power-play goals in regulation to help bail him out time and time again. The 23-year-old Swiss-born backstop has allowed seven goals on 65 shots across two starts, but he hasn't lost in regulation thanks to plenty of offensive support.
