Schmid stopped 34 of 39 shots in Switzerland's 5-1 loss to Canada in the 2026 Winter Olympics on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Schmid made his first start of the Olympics after Leonardo Genoni got the nod against France, and understandably, Schmid was busy and conceded lots of goals against arguably the best attack in the world. It's uncertain who will get the nod for the Swiss in the group-stage finale against Czech Republic on Sunday.

Schmid is expected to start for Switzerland against Canada on Friday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schmid is getting his first start of the tournament after Leonardo Genoni earned a 4-0 shutout victory over France on Thursday. Schmid is drawing the far tougher assignment. Canada has a stacked roster that includes Connor McDavid, Macklin Celebrini, Nathan MacKinnon and Sidney Crosby. Schmid will also be up against some of his Vegas teammates in Mark Stone, Mitch Marner and Shea Theodore. The 25-year-old Schmid has a 16-6-6 record, 2.53 GAA and .895 save percentage in 29 outings with the Golden Knights this campaign.

Schmid was the first goalie off the ice Wednesday, SinBin.vegas reports, indicating he'll guard the cage at home versus Vancouver.

EDGE Analysis

With Schmid taking the first game of the back-to-back, fantasy managers can likely expect to see Adin Hill get the nod at home versus the Kings on Thursday. The 25-year-old Schmid has gone 0-2-1 with a 3.34 GAA and .870 save percentage during his three-game losing streak.

Schmid stopped 20 of 23 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

The Golden Knights dug out of an early 2-0 deficit, but Kaapo Kakko's goal early in the third period was the difference. Schmid has lost his last three outings, allowing 10 goals on 78 shots while going 0-2-1 in that span. For the season, he's at a 15-6-6 record with a 2.55 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 28 appearances. Adin Hill will get the nod for Sunday's game in Anaheim, and the Golden Knights' continued use of a goalie rotation suggests Schmid would be in line to start Wednesday at home in a favorable matchup versus the Canucks before heading to the Olympics as a member of Team Switzerland.

Schmid will protect the home net against Seattle on Saturday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schmid has lost his last two outings (0-1-1) while permitting seven goals on 55 shots. He has a 15-5-6 record in 2025-26 with a 2.53 GAA, an .895 save percentage and two shutouts through 27 appearances. Seattle sits 23rd in the league with 2.87 goals per game this season, but the team is riding a three-game winning streak with 14 goals over that span.

Schmid turned aside 23 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

After allowing two goals in the second period, Schmid and the Golden Knights dominated the third to force overtime. However, Jake Evans beat Schmid clean on a rush that produced the winner. Schmid has lost two straight decisions since his four-start win streak ended. Through seven outings in January, he's gone 4-1-2 with a 2.61 GAA and an .895 save percentage.

Schmid will be between the pipes for Tuesday's road matchup against Montreal, SinBin.vegas reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schmid is coming off a 25-save effort in Thursday's 4-3 loss to Boston. He has posted a 15-5-5 record in 2025-26 with a 2.51 GAA, an .896 save percentage and two shutouts through 26 appearances. Montreal sits fifth in the league with 3.37 goals per game this season.

Schmid made 25 saves in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Boston built a 4-0 lead through two periods, including two power-play tallies, and while Schmid was able to shut the door in the third, Vegas' comeback attempt fell just short. It was Schmid's first regulation loss in January, and on the month he's gone 4-1-1 in six outings with a 2.57 GAA and .897 save percentage.

Schmid was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Schmid is in the midst of a four-game winning streak in which he's posted a 2.07 GAA and .917 save percentage. Although Adin Hill will likely serve as the Golden Knights' primary netminder now that he's healthy, Schmid should be able to earn some playing time if he can continue to perform at a high level. Schmid will have a tough matchup Thursday, as the Bruins rank ninth in the NHL with 3.28 goals per game.

Schmid stopped 27 of 29 shots in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Schmid collected his fourth straight win, and he's allowed exactly two goals in each of those games. While not dominant, the 25-year-old netminder is getting the job done, giving the Golden Knights the luxury of not having to give Adin Hill a full starter's workload after a lengthy absence. Schmid is now at a 15-4-5 record with a 2.45 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 25 appearances. Schmid won't get a lot of saves behind Vegas' steady defense, but he can limit goals against and rack up wins. The Golden Knights' next game is Monday versus the Flyers, and they open their road trip with a back-to-back featuring games in Boston on Thursday and Toronto on Friday.
