Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Lands two-year deal
Akira Schmid signed a two-year, $1.75 million contract with the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday, per CapFriendly.Schmid was traded from the Devils to the Golden Knights at the draft, but he did not receive a qualifying offer. This allowed the 24-year-old goalie to test free agency, but Vegas was able to get a deal done with him anyway. The Golden Knights also signed Ilya Samsonov on Monday to a one-year, $1.8 million deal, so it's likely Schmid will spend the bulk of 2024-25 at AHL Henderson.

Devils' Akira Schmid: Mauled by Panthers
Akira Schmid stopped 26 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Florida, with the Panthers' final goal getting scored into an empty net.The New Jersey Devils rallied from an early 2-0 deficit, but Schmid couldn't hold the momentum and gave up the go-ahead goal less than two minutes after Timo Meier had tied it up in the second period. New Jersey's coaching switch didn't solve the team's defensive woes overnight, so whoever's between the pipes for the Devils could continue to see a large volume of high-danger chances. Schmid hasn't won a game in the NHL since Dec. 16, and over four appearances since being called back up from AHL Utica, he's given up seven goals on 74 shots (.905 save percentage.)

Devils' Akira Schmid: In goal Tuesday
Akira Schmid will get the starting nod at home versus the Panthers on Tuesday, James Nicols of New Jersey Hockey Now reports.Schmid is coming off back-to-back relief appearances in which he stopped all 18 combined shots he faced. The netminding continues to be a problem for the New Jersey Devils, with the club tied to multiple players for a possible move ahead of Friday's trade deadline. If New Jersey does secure goaltending help, Schmid will almost certainly be sent back to AHL Utica.
