Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Tagged with loss
Schmid stopped 15 of 18 shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to Montreal.
Schmid was unable to make an impact between the pipes Friday, and this outing means he's now winless over his last three games. He owns a 3.21 GAA and an .865 save percentage over that stretch. Even if Adin Hill (lower body) remains out, Carter Hart (suspension) will likely eat into Schmid's playing time. Hart's first chance to play for Vegas will come Tuesday against Chicago, though it remains to be seen who the Golden Knights will start in that home game.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Facing Canadiens
Schmid will patrol the home crease against Montreal on Friday, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Schmid has gone 0-0-2 in his last two outings while allowing seven goals on 56 shots. He has a 9-1-4 record with a 2.47 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 14 appearances this season. Montreal sits third in the league with 3.45 goals per game in the 2025-26 campaign.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Shaky start in shootout loss
Schmid allowed three goals on 23 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Senators.
Schmid lost past regulation time for the second game in a row. He gave up three goals in the first period and then stopped two of three shootout attempts, though Linus Ullmark was perfect in the skills competition. Schmid has given up seven goals on 56 shots in that span, a fairly pedestrian level of play after his recent three-game winning streak. Overall, Schmid is now at 9-1-4 with a 2.47 GAA and a .900 save percentage in 14 appearances. The Golden Knights' next two games are also at home, as they'll face the Canadiens on Friday and the Sharks on Saturday. Schmid and Carl Lindbom are likely to split those games.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Starting against Ottawa
Schmid was the first goalie off during Wednesday's morning skate, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against Ottawa.
Schmid has been effective across the past several weeks, going 5-0-3 with a 2.33 GAA and a .906 save percentage over his last eight starts. Ottawa has 3.14 goals per game this season, which ties the club for the ninth-best mark in the NHL.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Falls in overtime
Schmid gave up four goals on 33 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks.
Saturday's game had firewagon potential after the teams combined for five goals in the first period. Schmid couldn't protect Vegas' 3-2 lead that came out of that, and a turnover in overtime ended up sending him to a defeat, his first in four games. He hasn't lost in regulation since Oct. 25 versus the Panthers. Schmid has been reliable with a 9-1-3 record, a 2.45 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 13 appearances. The 25-year-old netminder started three games in a row for the first time this year, further cementing his status as the No. 1 goalie until Adin Hill (lower body) returns or Carter Hart (suspension) is elevated to the active roster. The Golden Knights' next game is in Utah on Monday.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Tending twine Saturday
Schmid will defend the road net against Anaheim on Saturday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Schmid has won his last three outings while allowing only four goals on 68 shots. He has a 9-1-2 record with one shutout, a 2.33 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 12 appearances this season. Anaheim ranks third in the league with 3.57 goals per game this campaign.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Strong outing Thursday
Schmid made 25 saves on 26 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Mammoth.
Schmid's elite run continued Thursday, as he allowed just one goal near the midway point in the second period. He's won each of his last three starts and has a 1.33 GAA and a .941 save percentage in that span. Overall, the 25-year-old goaltender has a 9-1-2 record with a 2.33 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 12 appearances this season. Schmid has been one of the top goaltending stories of the season, stepping up for the team's opening-night starter Adin Hill, who has been out of the lineup since Oct. 20 with a lower-body injury. Even when Hill returns, Schmid might have done enough to earn a time share between the pipes for Vegas and should be a solid goaltending option in most fantasy formats for the foreseeable future. His next chance to guard the crease is Saturday in Anaheim.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Getting nod in Utah
Schmid will protect the road goal versus the Mammoth on Thursday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
This will be Schmid's fourth start in the last five games, indicating he has pulled firmly ahead of Carl Lindbom for the Golden Knights' starting job while Adin Hill (lower body) is out. Schmid has gone 4-0-2 with a 2.29 GAA and a .902 save percentage over his last six games.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Gets win over Rangers
Schmid stopped 17 of 19 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
Schmid didn't face a lot of traffic, and the Golden Knights never faced a deficit in this contest. This was Schmid's second straight win, and he's 4-0-2 over his last six outings. He's yet to have a game where he's faced 30 shots, as the Vegas defense is keeping things easy on him. For the season, the Swiss netminder is 8-1-2 with a 2.45 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 11 appearances. The Golden Knights begin a three-game road trip Thursday in Utah.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: First off Tuesday
Schmid will draw the home start Tuesday versus the Rangers, according to Jesse Granger of The Athletic.
Schmid heads into Tuesday's contest with a 7-1-2 record, 2.50 GAA and .900 save percentage through 10 outings this year. Schmid is currently operating as the team's No. 1 netminder, but that will change once Adin Hill (lower body) and Carter Hart (suspension) are in the lineup. The Rangers have found the back of the net 15 times across their last five games, a span in which they are 3-2-0, but 13 of those goals came in back-to-back wins over the Predators and Lightning.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Cruises to win Saturday
Schmid stopped 22 of 23 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
Schmid put an end to a brief two-game slide with this performance. His shutout bid ended with 4:03 left in the game on a Philip Broberg goal. Schmid is now 7-1-2 with a 2.50 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 10 appearances this season. He started consecutive games for the first time this year. Carl Lindbom figures to get the start Sunday versus the Wild, but it'll be interesting to see if Schmid can pull away with the starting role next week.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Expected to face St. Louis
Schmid is slated to start on the road against St. Louis on Saturday, per Lou Korac of The Hockey News.
Schmid will look to get back into the win column after going 0-0-2 while allowing eight goals on 53 shots (.849 save percentage) across his last two starts. He's 6-1-2 with a 2.67 GAA and an .894 save percentage in nine outings this season. The Blues are 6-8-4 and rank 22nd in goals per game with 2.89.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Loses in overtime
Schmid allowed four goals on 24 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.
Schmid has lost two straight games past regulation time, allowing eight goals on 53 shots in that span. The 25-year-old is now at a 6-1-2 record with a 2.67 GAA and an .894 save percentage through nine appearances. Schmid will need to be sharper than he has been lately to get back in the win column. He looks set to continue sharing the crease with Carl Lindbom until Adin Hill (lower body) gets healthy. If the Golden Knights continue rotating goalies, Lindbom would play Saturday in St. Louis while Schmid would get the second half of a back-to-back Sunday in Minnesota.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Set to start Thursday
Schmid is expected to start at home against the Islanders on Thursday, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Schmid stopped 25 of 29 shots en route to a 4-3 overtime loss to Anaheim in his last start Saturday. He's 6-1-1 with a 2.51 GAA and a .901 save percentage in eight outings this year. The Islanders are 8-6-2 and rank 10th in goals per game with 3.31.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Can't slow down Ducks
Schmid stopped 25 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks.
Schmid gave up three goals over the first two periods before settling in enough to allow the Golden Knights to force overtime. However, Jacob Trouba scored 4:28 into the extra session to hand Schmid the loss. This was just the second time in eight outings Schmid has been tagged for four-plus goals. He's gone 6-1-1 with a 2.51 GAA and a .901 save percentage so far. The 25-year-old has been alternating starts with Carl Lindbom recently, but it's unclear if that pattern will continue for the Golden Knights' four-game week ahead, which begins Monday at home versus the Panthers.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Set to face Anaheim
Schmid is expected to start at home against Anaheim on Saturday, per SinBin Vegas.
Schmid has a 6-1-0 record, 2.31 GAA and .908 save percentage in seven appearances in 2025-26. He earned a 24-save shutout over Detroit in his last start Tuesday. Although expectations weren't high for Anaheim going into the campaign, the Ducks are 9-3-1 and rank first in goals per game with 4.15, so this might be a challenging assignment for Schmid.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Posts second career shutout
Schmid recorded a 24-save shutout in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Red Wings.
Schmid had no margin for error throughout the game, and he made Ivan Barbashev's second-period tally stand as the winner. This was Schmid's second career NHL shutout and his first as a Golden Knight. He's up to 6-1-0 with a 2.31 GAA and a .908 save percentage through seven appearances this season. The 25-year-old continues to operate as the starter while Adin Hill (lower body) works his way back. The Golden Knights continue their homestand Thursday versus the Lightning.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: First off Tuesday
Schmid was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, SinBin Vegas reports, indicating he will start Tuesday's home matchup versus Detroit.
Schmid is coming off a 21-save effort in last Tuesday's 6-3 win over Carolina. He has a 5-1-0 record this season while allowing 15 goals on 139 shots. Detroit is tied for 14th in the league with 3.23 goals per game this campaign.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Hangs on for fifth win
Schmid made 21 saves in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Hurricanes.
Logan Stankoven ripped a shot from the slot past Schmid early in the third period to give Carolina a 3-2 lead, but the 25-year-old netminder shut the door the rest of the way while the Vegas offense took control. Schmid has benefitted from some impressive support in the early going, with the Golden Knights scoring at least four goals in all five of his wins -- helping to explain why his 5-1-0 record is outpacing his 2.73 GAA and .892 save percentage. Adin Hill (lower body) still lacks a timeline for his return, and Carter Hart (suspension) won't be eligible for the NHL roster until December, so Schmid will continue to hold down the fort in the Vegas crease.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Facing Hurricanes
Schmid will protect the road goal versus the Hurricanes on Tuesday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
