2025 Fantasy Outlook
Opinions on Schmid are likely to be divided heading into 2025-26. He struggled heavily for a bottom-dwelling AHL team, going 9-18-3 with a 3.58 GAA and a .886 save percentage over 30 games. However, behind the Golden Knights' defense, Schmid was 2-0-1 with a 1.26 GAA and a .944 save percentage over five games, four of which were in April. He's nothing more than a deep-league option in fantasy currently, but if he can win the backup job in training camp, he'll be an intriguing option for fantasy managers who have to dig deep for goalie depth. Schmid was promising at times with the Devils over the previous three years, so there is a little potential for him to become an NHL regular at age 25. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $1.75 million contract with the Golden Knights in July of 2024.
Hangs on for fifth win
Schmid made 21 saves in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Hurricanes.
ANALYSIS
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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
The 6-foot-five Schmid arrived via trade in the offseason on the heels of a 5-9-1, 3.15 GAA and .895 save percentage season in New Jersey. His numbers will trend up in Vegas' tight defensive structure, even if he doesn't improve his weaknesses. Schmid could quickly improve his rebound control, glove hand and readiness in the net under goaltending director and former big-man NHLer, Sean Burke. Schmid is down the Vegas depth chart with the arrival of Ilya Samsonov and will likely start in the AHL, but NHL games are likely and maybe more if Sammy struggles at all.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Joining Switzerland

ANALYSIS
Schmid logged 19 NHL games this season in which he went 5-9-1 with a 3.15 GAA and .895 save percentage. While rosters haven't been finalized for the tournament, Schmid is the only backstop with NHL experience and should be in the mix for the starting gig when Switzerland faces Norway on May 10.
