  • Panthers' Nate Schmidt: Scores goal Saturday

    Schmidt scored a goal in Saturday's 5-0 win over Winnipeg.

    Schmidt found the back of the net just 2:07 into the second period to give the Panthers a 2-0 lead. The blueliner hasn't been very productive this season, however, and he earns most of his limited fantasy value via physical stats. He has only three goals and three assists in 17 outings in 2024-25.

  • Panthers' Nate Schmidt: Deposits goal Saturday

    Schmidt scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Flyers.

    Schmidt has three points and a plus-1 rating over his last five contests. The 33-year-old defenseman has seen time on the third pairing and second power-play unit in that span after opening the campaign in a more limited role when the Panthers were forced to dress seven blueliners. He's up to five points, nine shots on net, 21 hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 14 appearances. If Schmidt can chip in offense somewhat consistently, he could be helpful in deep fantasy formats.

  • Panthers' Nate Schmidt: Supplies helper in win

    Schmidt posted a power-play assist, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Predators.

    Schmidt has earned two helpers over his last four games, both coming on the power play. He's playing on the second unit now after mostly missing out with the man advantage early in the campaign. The 33-year-old has four points, seven shots on net, 20 hits, eight blocked shots, seven PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 13 appearances. Schmidt and Adam Boqvist appear to be competing for one spot in the lineup now that the Panthers have gotten healthy, and it's a battle Schmidt is winning.

  • Panthers' Nate Schmidt: Will play Saturday

    Schmidt (undisclosed) will be in the lineup versus the Islanders on Saturday, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

    Despite skipping the morning skate for maintenance, Schmidt is expected to play alongside Adam Boqvist in Saturday's game. The 33-year-old Schmidt has a goal, two points and 15 hits over eight appearances in 2024-25.

  • Panthers' Nate Schmidt: Not practicing Saturday

    Schmidt (undisclosed) is not at morning practice Saturday, Panthers play-by-play announcer Steve Goldstein reports.

    Schmidt was the lone Panther not on the ice at practice ahead of Saturday's tilt versus the Islanders. Uvis Balinskis skated on the third pairing in Schmidt's absence. Schmidt has a goal, one assist and 15 hits in eight games this season.

  • Panthers' Nate Schmidt: Deposits goal in loss

    Schmidt scored a goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Sabres.

    The Panthers were missing Aleksander Barkov (lower body) and Matthew Tkachuk (illness), so Schmidt stayed in the lineup for a second game as a seventh defenseman. The 33-year-old has two shots on net and a hit over his two appearances. The Panthers may be forced to stick with seven blueliners while they navigate a tight cap situation, but once the team's health improves, Schmidt is not guaranteed to be in the lineup every game.

  • Panthers' Nate Schmidt: Links up with Florida

    Schmidt signed a one-year contract with the Panthers on Tuesday, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.

    Per CapFriendly, his salary will be $800,000. Schmidt was bought out by the Jets ahead of free agency and will now link up with the defending champions. The 32-year-old defenseman has been little more than a third-pairing option in recent years, but he'll replenish the Panthers' blue line while reuniting with head coach Paul Maurice. Schmidt had 14 points, 76 blocked shots, 66 hits and a plus-10 rating over 63 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

  • Nate Schmidt: Goes on unconditional waivers

    Winnipeg put Schmidt on unconditional waivers Sunday for the purpose of buying out the remainder of his contract, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

    Schmidt had one more season left on his six-year, $35.7 million contract. The 32-year-old blueliner will be eligible for unrestricted free agency Monday. Schmidt notched two goals, 14 points, 75 shots on net, 76 blocked shots and 66 hits in 63 regular-season contests in 2023-24.

  • Jets' Nate Schmidt: Bends twine in Game 4

    Schmidt scored a goal in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche in Game 4.

    Schmidt scored for just the third time this year, a significant drop off from the previous campaign in which he generated seven goals during the regular season. At this point, fantasy managers probably shouldn't be expecting the 32-year-old to produce much offense, given he had 14 points in 63 regular-season appearances, his lowest production since he became a full-time NHLer in 2015-16.

  • Jets' Nate Schmidt: Gathers assist

    Schmidt notched an assist, three shots on goal, five hits and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-3 win over the Kings.

    Schmidt snapped a four-game drought with the helper. The 32-year-old defenseman has not been an everyday player lately, due to Colin Miller and Logan Stanley offering alternative options on the third pairing for head coach Rick Bowness. Schmidt is at 13 points, 73 shots on net, 76 blocked shots, 65 hits and a plus-9 rating through 62 appearances.

  • Jets' Nate Schmidt: Set to return Friday

    Schmidt (illness) is expected to play Friday against Seattle.

    Schmidt missed the Jets' 4-3 loss to the Kraken on Tuesday due to the illness. He has a goal, 10 points, 52 hits and 65 blocks in 52 outings in 2023-24. Schmidt is projected to play on the third pairing alongside Dylan Samberg versus the Kraken.

  • Jets' Nate Schmidt: Out with illness

    Schmidt (illness) won't play Tuesday versus Seattle, per John Lu of TSN.

    Schmidt will miss the game due to a flu bug he has been battling. He should have enough time to recover ahead of Friday's rematch against the Kraken. Schmidt has supplied 10 points, 61 shots on net, 65 blocked shots and 52 hits in 52 contests this season. He will be replaced in Tuesday's lineup by Logan Stanley.

  • Jets' Nate Schmidt: Adds helper in win

    Schmidt recorded an assist and four PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Canucks.

    Schmidt endured a six-game drought from Jan. 20 to Feb. 8, but he's now earned an assist in two of the last three contests. The 32-year-old defenseman remains in a steady third-pairing role this season. He's up to nine points, 50 shots on net, 60 blocked shots, 38 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 46 outings.

  • Jets' Nate Schmidt: Pockets assist Sunday

    Schmidt notched an assist, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Coyotes.

    Schmidt has points in consecutive games for the first time this season, and four of his five points overall have come in the last eight contests. The 32-year-old has been confined to a third-pairing role for much of the campaign, though he also sees some power-play usage. He's added 32 shots on net, 45 blocked shots, 26 hits and a plus-6 rating over 33 appearances.

  • Jets' Nate Schmidt: Nets first goal of season

    Schmidt scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.

    Schmidt has been an occasional scratch this season, but he's played in 12 straight contests, albeit in a third-pairing role. The blueliner has three points in that span, accounting for all but one of his points for the season. The 32-year-old has added 31 shots on net, 44 blocked shots, 24 hits and a plus-3 rating. With his limited production, Schmidt is best left on the waiver wire in fantasy.

  • Jets' Nate Schmidt: On track to face Flames

    Schmidt (lower body) is slated to play Wednesday against Calgary.

    Schmidt had seven goals, 19 points, 45 hits and 85 blocks in 71 contests with the Jets in 2022-23. He's projected to serve on the third pairing alongside Brenden Dillon.

  • Jets' Nate Schmidt: Suffers lower-body injury

    Schmidt is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

    Schmidt is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season. The defenseman had seven goals and 19 points in 71 contests last season and should be considered a fringe fantasy asset in deep pools.

  • Jets' Nate Schmidt: Gathers another helper

    Schmidt produced a power-play assist in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 2.

    Schmidt has a helper in each of his last four games, including both of the Jets' playoff contests. He helped out on an Adam Lowry tally in Thursday's loss. Getting Schmidt back to a productive level in the postseason would give the Jets more balance on their blue line. He's added a hit, three shots on goal and an even plus-minus rating while playing on the third pairing.

  • Jets' Nate Schmidt: Registers assist in win

    Schmidt posted an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 1.

    Schmidt helped out on Blake Wheeler's third-period tally. It's been a down year for Schmidt on offense -- he finished with 19 points in 71 regular-season games. He may have some motivation to perform better against one of his former teams, but he's still stuck in a third-pairing role.
