Schmidt scored a goal, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt's goal sparked a stretch of four tallies in 5:59 for the Mammoth. This ended a six-game slump for the defenseman, who has been seeing top-four minutes lately. He's at two goals, 12 points, 39 shots on net, 37 hits, 34 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 34 appearances in his first year for Utah.

Schmidt logged two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-1 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt is quietly on a five-game point streak (one goal, five helpers). The 34-year-old defenseman's seeing top-four minutes and time on the second power-play unit, which is certainly helping as he trends toward his best showing on offense since a 31-point campaign in 2021-22. He's at one goal, 10 points, 32 shots on net, 26 hits, 18 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 23 appearances this season.

Schmidt tallied a goal and placed two shots on net in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt netted the lone goal of the game for Utah near the midway point in the second period. With his first twine finder of the season, the 34-year-old blueliner is up to seven points and 29 shots on net through 21 games this season. Schmidt has done a bit of everything this season for the Mammoth from his spot on the team's second defensive pairing and power-play unit. With four points in his last five games, he has decent streaming value in deep leagues until Sean Durzi (shoulder) returns from IR.

Schmidt notched an assist, three hits and a plus-4 rating in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

The assist on Nick Schmaltz's first goal was Schmidt's first point with the Mammoth. The absence of Sean Durzi (shoulder) has opened up some power-play time on the second unit for Schmidt, though his lack of offense could cost him that role. He should remain a regular in the lineup as a reliable veteran defenseman. The 34-year-old has added 12 shots on net, 12 hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-6 rating this season, giving him modest appeal for category coverage if he can get his offense going in the right direction.

Schmidt signed a three-year, $10.5 million deal with Utah on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt will bring championship pedigree to Utah, having won the Stanley Cup with the Panthers this past season. During the regular season, the 33-year-old blueliner notched 19 points in 80 games, including four power-play points. While Schmidt has reached the 30-point threshold multiple times in his career, he hasn't even managed 20 in each of his last three seasons, so fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting an offensive explosion with the Mammoth.

Schmidt logged two assists and two hits in Friday's 5-4 double-overtime win over the Oilers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt helped out on first-period tallies by Sam Bennett (on the power play) and Seth Jones. This was Schmidt's second two-assist game in a row and his third this postseason. The defenseman is up to three goals, eight helpers, 20 shots on net, 30 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 19 appearances. He continues to make a positive impact from his third-pairing role.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt snapped a seven-game point drought with this performance, which was his first contribution on offense since a two-assist effort in Game 5 of the second round versus Toronto. The defenseman has maintained a spot on the Panthers' third pairing throughout the postseason. He's up to three goals, six helpers, 19 shots on net, 28 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 18 appearances.

Schmidt scored the game-winning goal Thursday in a 2-0 win over the Lightning in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt fired a one-timer from above the right circle that beat Andrei Vasilevskiy to the far post. He has been a surprise so far this postseason. After putting up five goals this season, Schmidt has wired three in two playoff games.

Schmidt scored two goals on three shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Lightning in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt's first tally, at 4:41 of the second period, was the game-winner. He added a power-play goal in the third to provide more insurance for the Panthers. The 33-year-old blueliner had all of five goals and 19 points over 80 regular-season outings while mainly playing in a bottom-four role. Aaron Ekblad (suspension) has one game left before he can return, at which point Schmidt or Uvis Balinskis is likely to exit the lineup, though Schmidt certainly helped his own cause with this two-goal effort.

Schmidt logged a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt snapped a seven-game slump with the helper on Evan Rodrigues' second-period tally. The 33-year-old Schmidt is getting time on the second power-play unit in the absence of Aaron Ekblad (suspension). For the season, Schmidt has 19 points (four on the power play), 66 shots on net, 78 hits, 62 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 77 appearances. He spent a large part of the campaign in a third-pairing role but has been in the top four lately while the Panthers deal with some absences.
