Gets first NHL goal Schwindt scored an empty-net goal and added three hits in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact As expected, the Golden Knights rested some regulars Wednesday, allowing Schwindt to play for the fourth time since the start of March. The 23-year-old scored the Golden Knights' last goal of the regular season, and it was his first NHL goal, coming in his 49th appearance. He produced eight points, 32 shots on net, 41 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in 2024-25. Assuming there are no lingering injuries at forward heading into the playoffs, Schwindt is poised to spend most of the postseason as a healthy scratch.

Dorofeyev breaks tie in Golden Knights' 4-1 victory over Canucks in regular-season finale

Pavel Dorofeyev broke a tie at 7:59 of the third period with his 35th goal and the Vegas Golden Knights beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-1 on Wednesday night in the regular-season fina...

APRIL 17, 2025 • Associated Press

Little playing time late in season Schwindt has played in just three of the Golden Knights' 22 games since the start of March.

Impact Schwindt could draw in for Wednesday's regular-season finale if the Golden Knights opt to rest more players. The 23-year-old missed some time with a lower-body injury between January and March, and he hasn't been able to carve out a regular role since he got healthy. He's contributed seven helpers, 31 shots on net and 38 hits over 41 appearances this season. Barring a bad stretch of injuries, Schwindt probably won't see much action in the playoffs.

Set to return Schwindt (lower body) took warmups on the fourth line, indicating he has been activated from injured reserve ahead of Friday's game against the Penguins.

Impact Schwindt missed 15 consecutive games due to the injury. He'll now have a chance to compete for fourth-line minutes, though he may not last long on the NHL roster once William Karlsson (lower body) gets back in action. Schwindt has just seven assists over 38 appearances this season.

MARCH 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call Friday Schwindt (lower body) will be a game-time decision to face the Penguins on Friday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Impact If Schwindt plays against Pittsburgh, it would be his first appearance since Jan. 18 versus the Blackhawks due to his lower-body injury. In 38 games this season, the Ontario-born winger has yet to find the back of the net, so fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on him for a ton of offensive output. In order to suit up Friday, Schwindt will need to be activated off injured reserve.

MARCH 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not on road trip Schwindt (lower body) won't accompany the Golden Knights on their upcoming four-game road trip, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports Thursday.

Impact The Golden Knights play their final home game Thursday before the break and then travel East for a four-game road trip, concluding in Boston on Feb. 8. Schwindt will be out of action until after the 4 Nations Face-Off break that begins after the Bruins game and could return Feb. 22 when Vegas returns to action at home versus Vancouver. Schwindt had seven assists in 38 games before the injury.

JANUARY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on injured reserve Schwindt (lower body) was put on injured reserve Thursday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Schwindt is considered week-to-week after getting hurt Saturday against the Blackhawks. Schwindt has seven assists in 38 games this season. Look for Alexander Holtz to remain in the lineup with Schwindt out of action.

JANUARY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed week-to-week Schwindt (lower body) is considered week-to-week, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports Tuesday.

Impact Schwindt sat out Monday's 5-4 shootout loss to St. Louis after being injured in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Chicago. It's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has posted seven assists, 30 shots on goal, 15 blocked shots and 36 hits in 38 appearances this season. Due to Schwindt's absence, Alexander Holtz will likely play against the Blues on Thursday.

JANUARY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Monday Schwindt (lower body) won't play against St. Louis on Monday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Impact Schwindt will miss at least one game after being injured in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Chicago. He has earned seven assists, 30 shots on goal, 15 blocked shots and 36 hits in 38 appearances this season. Alexander Holtz will replace Schwindt in Monday's lineup.

JANUARY 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sustains lower-body injury Schwindt (lower body) will not finish Saturday's game versus the Blackhawks, Ryan Wallis of Fox Sports Las Vegas reports.

Impact Schwindt was laboring on the bench at one point in the first period before retreating to the locker room, and he did not return. The 23-year-old has gone 10 games without a point while filling a bottom-six role, so his potential absence is unlikely to impact most fantasy managers. Alexander Holtz would be the top option to take Schwindt's spot in the lineup, though Vegas could also call up a forward for depth purposes.

Generates helper Friday Schwindt logged an assist in Friday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact Schwindt continues to serve as an injury fill-in, playing fourth-line minutes in the absences of Ivan Barbashev (upper body) and Nicolas Roy (upper body). The helper was Schwindt's first point since Nov. 23, a span of nine contests that he failed to get on the scoresheet. The 23-year-old forward has seven helpers, 22 shots on net, 17 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 28 outings this season.

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

In part-time role Schwindt has played in five of nine games in December.

Impact Schwindt was scratched for four games in a row in the middle of the month. Injuries to Ivan Barbashev (upper body) and Nicolas Roy (upper body) have opened up a spot in the lineup for Schwindt again, but he hasn't done much with it. The 23-year-old is in the midst of a nine-game point drought, and he has just six assists with 21 shots on net, 16 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 27 contests in a fourth-line role this season.

Hands out helper Saturday Schwindt posted an assist in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Canadiens.

Impact The fourth-liner helped out on Tanner Pearson's goal midway through the second period. Schwindt has been a fourth-line fixture for the Golden Knights in November, racking up three assists over 10 outings this month. He's up to six helpers, 14 shots on net, 14 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating while averaging 9:49 of ice time across 18 appearances this season.

Sends assist in win Schwindt posted an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact Schwindt helped out on a Nicolas Roy tally in the first period. The helper ended a four-game slump for Schwindt, who has been confined to a fourth-line role this season. He has played in a majority of the games so far, earning four assists, 10 shots on net, nine hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 13 appearances. He likely won't be pressured for playing time until both of Mark Stone (lower body) and Victor Olofsson (lower body) are ready to return to the lineup.

Earns two helpers in win Schwindt notched two assists and went plus-3 in Monday's 5-0 win over the Flames.

Impact The Golden Knights went with a new look on the fourth line, as Schwindt played alongside Nicolas Roy and Keegan Kolesar. The trio combined for three goals and eight points, all of which came in a dominant third period that extinguished any chance of a Flames comeback. Through eight outings, Schwindt has put up three assists, seven shots on net, eight blocked shots, five hits and a plus-4 rating. He's not guaranteed to be in the lineup all the time, but a performance like the one he had Monday should earn him some favor over Brendan Brisson in the short term. Schwindt has topped 10 minutes of ice time just once this season.
