Schmidt contributed two assists in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old defenseman is acquiting himself nicely on Washington's third defensive pairing with Brooks Orpik with four assists in his first 11 games while logging 14:27 in ice time. However, his lack of opportunity on the power-play limits his fantasy value to deeper leagues at this time, even if he is on track to best a career high 16-points attained in 2015-16.
