Schmidt picked up an assist and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 8-7 OT loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

The assist gives him a goal and five assists and a plus-10 rating in his last seven games -- not too shabby for a third-pairing defenseman who doesn't log much power-play time (Monday's 1:01 was the most time with the man-advantage he has logged all season). This is a pretty good hot streak for the Minnesotan so keep him in mind for deeper leagues and as a value play in daily formats.
