Schmaltz logged a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche. Schmaltz had gone six games without an assist, but thankfully, he scored his first four goals of the year in that span. The 28-year-old got back to his playmaking ways by setting up Dylan Guenther's second tally in this contest. Schmaltz is up to 22 points (six on the power play), 64 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 29 outings this season, playing mainly on Utah's top line.

Schmaltz scored a goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over Buffalo. He had a goal overturned for goalie interference in the first period that would have opened the scoring. Schmaltz then put Utah up 3-1 at the end of the second frame. He was in tight and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen stoned him with an acrobatic save, only to leave the rebound right there for Schmaltz to push in the net. The goal stood as the winner. Schmaltz is on a three-game goal streak (four goals) after starting the season on a 23-game goalless skid. He's on a 60-plus point pace, which is more than fantasy-worthy.

Schmaltz scored a goal in Monday's 2-1 loss to Dallas. Schmaltz found the back of the net 6:57 into the third period to deny Casey DeSmith the possibility of a shutout. Still, the goal wasn't enough to mount a comeback. Schmaltz has scored three goals in his last two outings after failing to net a single marker across his first 23 appearances of the campaign, though he did deliver 17 assists in that stretch.

Schmaltz scored twice on five shots in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Golden Knights. Schmaltz is off the schneid, scoring his first two goals of 2024-25 in Saturday's blowout win. He tallied midway through the first period at even strength and added a power-play marker in the second. Schmaltz is up to 19 points, 54 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 24 appearances this season. He's seen steady top-six usage, and he should enjoy a strong course correction in scoring -- he's reached the 20-goal mark in three straight years while shooting no less than 13.9 percent in any season in that span.

Schmaltz recorded two assists and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canadiens. Schmaltz is once again on a playmaking surge, racking up five assists over his last five contests. The 28-year-old remains snakebit for goals -- he's now come up empty on 44 shots this season, though he has 17 helpers through 22 appearances. He's also posted a minus-6 rating, and just four of his assists have come on the power play. It feels like Schmaltz just needs to get that first goal to fall for the dam to break.
