Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Light work in win
Schmid stopped 16 of 17 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.
Schmid wasn't all that busy in the contest. Pius Suter opened the scoring for the Canucks, but the Golden Knights bounced back with a third-period tally to claim the win. Schmid went 2-0-1 with five goals allowed on 90 shots over his five NHL appearances this season. Since AHL Henderson missed the minor-league playoffs, expect Schmid to stay in the NHL as extra goaltending depth during the postseason.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Starting Wednesday
Schmid will guard the road goal versus the Canucks on Wednesday.
Schmid will get the nod in the regular-season finale, allowing Adin Hill a bit more rest before the playoffs. The 24-year-old Schmid is 1-0-1 with four goals allowed on 73 shots (.945 save percentage) over four NHL outings. He may stick with the Golden Knights for the playoffs, but the 24-year-old won't see the ice unless both Hill and Ilya Samsonov get hurt.

Schmid allowed two goals on 36 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Avalanche.
Schmid put in a good performance but wasn't able to get a win out of it. He allowed both goals in the second period and then gave up the lone tally in the shootout. He's 1-0-1 with four goals allowed on 73 shots (.945 save percentage) through four outings this season.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: First off Tuesday

Schmid is coming off a 21-save performance in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Calgary. He has stopped 35 of 37 shots in three NHL appearances this season. Colorado ranks fifth in the league with 3.36 goals per game in 2024-25.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Gets job done in overtime
Schmid stopped 21 of 23 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flames.
The two goals Schmid allowed came 51 seconds apart but included the second intermission. He didn't falter after Matthew Coronato's equalizer and earned the win when Reilly Smith scored on a bank shot in overtime. Schmid made his first start and third appearance at the NHL level this season, and he'll be sticking around until Ilya Samsonov (upper body) is healthy enough to play. Adin Hill will likely get the start Sunday in Vancouver to close out this weekend's back-to-back set.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Receiving start in Calgary
Schmid will start on the road versus the Flames on Saturday, Ryan Pike of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Schmid will get the nod over Adin Hill in the latter's hometown, though this is the first half of a back-to-back. The Flames haven't done much on offense this season, but they have 16 goals over their last six games, a span in which they've gone 3-2-1.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Makes relief appearance
Schmid stopped two shots in the third period of Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Jets after he relieved Adin Hill.
This was likely a move to get Schmid some action ahead of the Golden Knights' back-to-back over the weekend, which would indicate Ilya Samsonov (undisclosed) probably won't be ready to return. The Jets were able to put away an empty-netter after Schmid was pulled for an extra attacker, but he didn't yield a goal in his second appearance of the season. The back-to-back includes stops in Calgary on Saturday and Vancouver on Sunday, so look for Hill and Schmid to split those starts.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Recalled by Vegas
Schmid was recalled from AHL Henderson on Monday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Schmid hasn't been with the NHL club since early February, but he'll join the Golden Knights ahead of Tuesday's game against Edmonton since Ilya Samsonov (undisclosed) is dealing with an injury that forced him to miss Saturday's game against Nashville. However, even if Samsonov misses additional time, Schmid will likely serve as the No. 2 netminder for the Golden Knights while Adin Hill operates as the primary goalie.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Grabs preseason win
Schmid stopped 27 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 6-1 preseason win over the Avalanche.
Vegas took an inexperienced roster on the road, and Schmid was steady between the pipes in the win against a mix of Colorado's NHL and AHL guys. Over two preseason starts, Schmid has allowed one goal on 36 shots. Despite his strong play so far, the 24-year-old is likely to land on waivers prior to the start of the regular season, with the Golden Knights poised to roll with Adin Hill and Ilya Samsonov at the NHL level. Schmid and winger Alexander Holtz were acquired from the Devils in June in a deal that sent Paul Cotter to New Jersey.
