Schmid was reassigned to AHL Utica on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Schmid has a 3.15 GAA and an .895 save percentage in 19 contests with New Jersey this season, but his last start at the NHL level was March 5. His return to the minors might indicate that Kaapo Kahkonen (lower body) will be available for Thursday's road game against Toronto.

Schmid was recalled from the minors Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Schmid's last NHL start came March 5, when he recorded 26 saves on 30 shots in a 5-3 loss to the Panthers. The 23-year-old has struggled this year compared to last year, posting an .895 save percentage and a 5-9-1 record in 19 top-level appearances in 2023-24. He may see a start in the last four games of the season for the Devils.

Schmid was reassigned to AHL Utica on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Schmid served as the backup goaltender for Saturday's 4-2 loss to Carolina. His demotion likely indicates that at least one of Jake Allen (visa issues) or Kaapo Kahkonen (travel) will be available for Monday's road game versus the Rangers. Schmid has a 5-9-1 record, 3.15 GAA and .895 save percentage in 19 appearances with New Jersey in 2023-24.

The Devils recalled Schmid from AHL Utica on Friday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Devils needed a second goaltender as Jake Allen (visa issues) and Kaapo Kahkonen (travel) are unavailable to back up Nico Daws on Saturday. This could be Schmid's last appearance in a Devils uniform this season, as New Jersey's deadline deals have bumped him down to fourth on the depth chart. Look for Schmid to be sent back to Utica after Saturday's tilt.

Schmid was reassigned to AHL Utica on Friday, according to Mike Morreale of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

The Devils acquired Kaapo Kahkonen from San Jose and Jake Allen from Montreal on Friday, so Schmid might spend the rest of the season in the minors. The 23-year-old Schmid has a 5-9-1 record, 3.15 GAA and .895 save percentage through 19 NHL outings in 2023-24.

Schmid stopped 26 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Florida, with the Panthers' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

EDGE Analysis

The Devils rallied from an early 2-0 deficit, but Schmid couldn't hold the momentum and gave up the go-ahead goal less than two minutes after Timo Meier had tied it up in the second period. New Jersey's coaching switch didn't solve the team's defensive woes overnight, so whoever's between the pipes for the Devils could continue to see a large volume of high-danger chances. Schmid hasn't won a game in the NHL since Dec. 16, and over four appearances since being called back up from AHL Utica, he's given up seven goals on 74 shots (.905 save percentage.)

Schmid will get the starting nod at home versus the Panthers on Tuesday, James Nicols of New Jersey Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schmid is coming off back-to-back relief appearances in which he stopped all 18 combined shots he faced. The netminding continues to be a problem for the Devils, with the club tied to multiple players for a possible move ahead of Friday's trade deadline. If New Jersey does secure goaltending help, Schmid will almost certainly be sent back to AHL Utica.

Schmid stopped all nine shots he faced after replacing Nico Daws midway through the second period of Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old netminder has been needed in relief in two straight games, as Daws continues to implode. Schmid has allowed three goals on 44 shots over three appearances since returning to the NHL roster in late February. If the Devils don't trade for a goalie at the deadline, he could get another look in the No. 1 role, at least until Vitek Vanecek (lower body) returns from injured reserve.

Schmid stopped all nine shots he faced in relief of Nico Daws in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks. Daws was credited with the defeat.

EDGE Analysis

Schmid played the third period and gave the Devils a chance to get back in the contest. Tyler Toffoli's power-play goal cut the deficit to one, but they were unable to pull even. Schmid has made two appearances during his current NHL stint, allowing three goals on 35 shots. With Daws' recent inconsistency, Schmid could have a chance to start in the near future. Schmid is 5-8-1 with a 3.17 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 17 NHL appearances this season.

Schmid stopped 23 of 26 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Making his first NHL start since Dec. 21, Schmid kept the Bolts off the scoreboard through the first period but things unraveled quickly to begin the second, as he was beaten twice in the first five minutes. The 23-year-old netminder hadn't been particularly impressive during his stint with AHL Utica, and his 3.47 GAA and .886 save percentage through 13 games for the minor-league club are actually worse than his 3.24 GAA and .892 save percentage in 16 contests for the Devils. Schmid will need to perform much better to put any pressure on Nico Daws for the top spot in the crease.
