Schmidt scored a goal in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Schmidt scored for just the third time this year, a significant drop off from the previous campaign in which he generated seven goals during the regular season. At this point, fantasy managers probably shouldn't be expecting the 32-year-old to produce much offense, given he had 14 points in 63 regular-season appearances, his lowest production since he became a full-time NHLer in 2015-16.

Schmidt notched an assist, three shots on goal, five hits and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-3 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Schmidt snapped a four-game drought with the helper. The 32-year-old defenseman has not been an everyday player lately, with Colin Miller and Logan Stanley offering alternative options on the third pairing for head coach Rick Bowness. Schmidt is at 13 points, 73 shots on net, 76 blocked shots, 65 hits and a plus-9 rating through 62 appearances.

EDGE Analysis
Schmidt will miss the game due to a flu bug he has been battling. He should have enough time to recover ahead of Friday's rematch against the Kraken. Schmidt has supplied 10 points, 61 shots on net, 65 blocked shots and 52 hits in 52 contests this season. He will be replaced in Tuesday's lineup by Logan Stanley.

Schmidt endured a six-game drought from Jan. 20 to Feb. 8, but he's now earned an assist in two of the last three contests.

Schmidt notched an assist, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Schmidt has points in consecutive games for the first time this season, and four of his five points overall have come in the last eight contests. The 32-year-old has been confined to a third-pairing role for much of the campaign, though he also sees some power-play usage. He's added 32 shots on net, 45 blocked shots, 26 hits and a plus-6 rating over 33 appearances.

Schmidt scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Schmidt has been an occasional scratch this season, but he's played in 12 straight contests, albeit in a third-pairing role. The blueliner has three points in that span, accounting for all but one of his points for the season. The 32-year-old has added 31 shots on net, 44 blocked shots, 24 hits and a plus-3 rating. With his limited production, Schmidt is best left on the waiver wire in fantasy.

Schmidt is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schmidt is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season. The defenseman had seven goals and 19 points in 71 contests last season and should be considered a fringe fantasy asset in deep pools.

Schmidt produced a power-play assist in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Schmidt has a helper in each of his last four games, including both of the Jets' playoff contests. He helped out on an Adam Lowry tally in Thursday's loss. Getting Schmidt back to a productive level in the postseason would give the Jets more balance on their blue line. He's added a hit, three shots on goal and an even plus-minus rating while playing on the third pairing.
