Schmidt scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt's go-ahead goal at 18:55 of the second period was his first point of the season. It's been a slow start for the 31-year-old defenseman, as he's added seven shots on net, nine blocked shots, four hits and a plus-1 rating in seven contests. With Josh Morrissey and Neal Pionk seeing most of the premium usage among Jets defensemen, Schmidt is unlikely to provide significant offense until his role improves.

Schmidt generated 32 points in 77 games this season, including 11 power-play points.

EDGE Analysis

After managing just 15 points with Vancouver last year, Schmidt was back over the 30-point threshold for the fourth time in his last five seasons. While the 30-year-old Minnesota native shouldn't be expected to ever be a top-end fantasy target, his ability to generate offense makes him a solid mid-range target.

Schmidt (undisclosed) will return to the lineup Wednesday versus the Flyers, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt should return to a top-four role and a spot on the No. 2 power-play unit following his one-game absence. The 30-year-old defender has collected four goals and 32 points through 74 contests this campaign.

Schmidt (undisclosed) won't play Sunday against the Avalanche, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt's a little banged up, per coach Dave Lowry. Logan Stanley will enter the lineup and is expected to skate in Schmidt's usual spot alongside Neal Pionk. Schmidt's next chance to play will be Wednesday against the Flyers.

Schmidt (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with Colorado, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt's status against the Avalanche likely won't be determined until Winnipeg takes the ice for pregame warmups. If Schmidt's unable to go, look for Logan Stanley to draw into the lineup against Colorado.

Schmidt recorded an assist in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Returning to action after a three-game stint in the COVID-19 protocols, the veteran blueliner helped set up Mark Scheifele for Winnipeg's lone goal. Schmidt has four goals and 32 points through 67 games this season, leaving him four points short of tying his career high.

Schmidt returned to practice Monday after exiting the league's COVID-19 protocols, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt needs just five more points to match the career-high mark (36) he set back in 2017-18 while with the Golden Knights. While the Minnesota native is never going to be considered for the Norris Trophy, he figures to continue offering solid mid-range fantasy value now that he is available against Detroit on Wednesday.

Schmidt has been placed in the league's COVID-19 protocols Wednesday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

At this point, barring a false positive, Schmidt should be expected to miss at least the team's upcoming back-to-back versus Buffalo and Toronto on Wednesday and Thursday in addition to Saturday's clash with the Kings. The defenseman is currently stuck in a 13-game goal drought, though that shouldn't be completely surprising considering he has never reached the 10-goal threshold in his career. In his stead, Logan Stanley (undisclosed) could be pressed into service Wednesday if deemed fit enough.

Schmidt logged an assist and blocked two shots in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt helped out on Nikolaj Ehlers' opening tally Sunday. This was Schmidt's second straight game with an assist, and he's picked up five points in 10 outings in March. The 30-year-old rearguard has 31 points, 96 shots on net, 87 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in 62 appearances. He was shuffled down to the third pairing Sunday, but he'll likely continue to see top-four minutes regardless of his defense partner.

Schmidt recorded an assist in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt reached 30 points with the helper, and now he's had at least that many in four of the past five seasons. The Jets have the heady defenseman under contract through the 2024-25 campaign; he's currently accounting for 7.3 percent of the team's salary cap, but it likely will be at least another year before Winnipeg can benefit from his extensive playoff experience.
