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.

Schmidt posted an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt helped out on Blake Wheeler's third-period tally. It's been a down year for Schmidt on offense -- he finished with 19 points in 71 regular-season games. He may have some motivation for perform better against one of his former teams, but he's still stuck in a third-pairing role.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt will be rested for Thursday's season finale against Colorado, Jeff Hamilton of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt will join fellow blueliner Josh Morrissey in watching from the press box as a handful of Jets players are being given the night off ahead of the postseason. The 31-year-old blueliner will come up one point shy of reaching the 20-point threshold in back-to-back seasons but should offer decent mid-range fantasy value in the playoffs.

Schmidt tallied a goal, two hits, and a blocked shot in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt got Winnipeg on the board halfway through the first period, firing a shot through traffic that snuck past Andrei Vasilevskiy. The goal extends Schmidt's point streak to four games, a season high, with two goals and two assists in that span. Overall. the 31-year-old blueliner has had a down year offensively with 16 points (seven goals, nine assists) through 57 games after posting 32 points last season. However, as evident by his recent hot streak, Schmidt can offer some upside while logging time on Winnipeg's power play.

Schmidt contributed a goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to San Jose.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt scored in the third period to put the Jets up 2-1, but Winnipeg couldn't hold onto that lead. He has six goals and 13 points in 54 contests in 2022-23. Schmidt was unable to find the back of the net -- and registered just one assist -- over his previous 12 outings.

Schmidt recorded a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt ended an eight-game point drought with the helper. The 31-year-old defenseman hasn't been a huge factor on offense, but he has earned five of his 12 points this season with the man advantage. He's also produced 69 shots on net, 62 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating while playing in a bottom-four role through 50 contests.

Schmidt supplied a power-play goal in a 3-2 loss to Buffalo on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt was playing for the first time since Dec. 15 because of the injury. He has three goals and six points in 30 contests in 2022-23. If you include the time before his injury, then the 31-year-old is on a six-game scoring drought.
