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.
