The Golden Knights gave up an empty-netter in the third period after Hill was pulled, but Schmid was solid when called upon duty, though the game was already decided by the time he entered the ice.

  • 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.

  • Schmid was the first goalie off Tuesday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports, indicating he'll guard the cage on the road against Colorado. Schmid went 5-9-1 with a 3.15 GAA and an .895 save percentage in 19 regular-season contests for the Devils last season. This could be the last preseason outing for Schmid, as the duo of Adin Hill and Ilya Samsonov figure to take the next two games before the start of the season versus Colorado on Oct. 9. Look for Schmid to be moved to the minors ahead of Opening Night.
