Schmidt recorded an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt set up Mark Scheifele for a third-period tally. This gave Schmidt two goals and three assists in his last eight contests, though Neal Pionk's return to the lineup Wednesday versus the Wild could eat into the former's playing time. Schmidt has racked up 23 points, 79 shots on net, 63 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating in 45 games in a top-four role this season. He could push for his career high of 36 points set in the 2017-18 season with the Golden Knights.
