EDGE Analysis

Schaefer snapped a seven-game slump with the tally. The winger has two goals over 10 appearances since returning to the NHL in early March. He's up to six goals, two assists, 32 shots on net, 93 hits, 28 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 37 appearances. Schaefer will likely continue to fill a fourth-line role this season, but the 22-year-old could work his way into a middle-six job as a power winger as soon as 2026-27.

EDGE Analysis

Schaefer's tally midway through the second period tied the game at 2-2. The 22-year-old has played in two of the last three contests, though he's not guaranteed to be in the lineup all of the time for the rest of the season, as he'll have to fend off Ozzy Wiesblatt for fourth-line minutes. Schaefer has earned five goals, two assists, 26 shots on net, 73 hits, 20 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 29 appearances with Nashville in his rookie campaign.

EDGE Analysis

Schaefer hasn't gotten a call back to the NHL after a brief stint with the big club prior to the Olympic break. The winger continues to play well for the Admirals -- he has 14 goals and 12 assists over 30 outings. The Predators are on the fringe of the playoff race, but it wouldn't be surprising for Schaefer to get a longer look with the big club if it falls out of contention.

Schaefer was loaned to AHL Milwaukee on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Schaefer has played 27 games in his first season in the NHL, tallying four goals and adding two assists. The 22-year-old, who was selected 32nd overall in the opening round of the 2022 NHL Draft, will get in some extra playing time with the Admirals, with whom he had six goals and 12 assists in 21 appearances earlier in the season.

Schaefer was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Schaefer will provide some cover for the Predators heading into a back-to-back versus the Wild and Capitals on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. In his last nine NHL outings, the 22-year-old winger was unable to find the back of the net while putting 10 shots on net and generating two helpers.

Schaefer was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Schaefer has recorded four goals, six points, 63 hits and a minus-9 rating across 25 games in his first NHL season. Ozzy Wiesblatt (upper body) is closing in on a return to the lineup, which resulted in Schaefer's demotion. The 23-year-old Schaefer had a long stint with the big club since being recalled from the minors at the end of November, and he could receive another call-up if the Predators deal with more injuries up front in the future.

EDGE Analysis

Schaefer snapped a six-game point drought with the tally, which was the third in a span of 5:01 for the Predators. His goal stood as the game-winner. The 22-year-old winger has scored four times on 12 shots while adding 41 hits, 16 blocked shots, 11 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 16 appearances in a bottom-six role. He's providing a little depth scoring but is still on the hunt for his first NHL assist.

Schaefer scored a goal and added two hits in Monday's 5-2 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Schaefer has scored in every third game since his Nov. 28 call-up. Providing consistent offense from a fourth-line spot is hard, but he makes up for it with physical play, and the Predators' improved offense with him in the lineup bodes well for him sticking around with the big club. The 22-year-old rookie has three goals in nine games, and he's added nine shots on net, 11 PIM, 19 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating.
