Golden Knights' Cole Schwindt: Hands out helper Saturday
Rotowire
Schwindt posted an assist in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Canadiens.
The fourth-liner helped out on Tanner Pearson's goal midway through the second period. Schwindt has been a fourth-line fixture for the Golden Knights in November, racking up three assists over 10 outings this month. He's up to six helpers, 14 shots on net, 14 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating while averaging 9:49 of ice time across 18 appearances this season.

Golden Knights' Cole Schwindt: Sends assist in win
Rotowire
Schwindt posted an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
Schwindt helped out on a Nicolas Roy tally in the first period. The helper ended a four-game slump for Schwindt, who has been confined to a fourth-line role this season. He has played in a majority of the games so far, earning four assists, 10 shots on net, nine hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 13 appearances. He likely won't be pressured for playing time until both of Mark Stone (lower body) and Victor Olofsson (lower body) are ready to return to the lineup.

Golden Knights' Cole Schwindt: Earns two helpers in win
Rotowire
Schwindt notched two assists and went plus-3 in Monday's 5-0 win over the Flames.
The Golden Knights went with a new look on the fourth line, as Schwindt played alongside Nicolas Roy and Keegan Kolesar. The trio combined for three goals and eight points, all of which came in a dominant third period that extinguished any chance of a Flames comeback. Through eight outings, Schwindt has put up three assists, seven shots on net, eight blocked shots, five hits and a plus-4 rating. He's not guaranteed to be in the lineup all the time, but a performance like the one he had Monday should earn him some favor over Brendan Brisson in the short term. Schwindt has topped 10 minutes of ice time just once this season.

Golden Knights' Cole Schwindt: Picks up first career assist
Rotowire
Schwindt registered an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 4-3 win over the Blues.
Schwindt was claimed off waivers from Calgary just before the season started, and he's stuck around on the NHL roster. He didn't play in the opener, but he replaced Brendan Brisson in the lineup Friday and set up a Shea Theodore tally in the second period. Schwindt is likely to be limited to bottom-six minutes when he's in the lineup, and while there's some physicality in his game, the lack of ice time will keep him off the radar in most fantasy formats.

Golden Knights' Cole Schwindt: Heading to Vegas
Rotowire
Schwindt was claimed off waivers by the Golden Knights on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Schwindt spent training camp with the Flames on a one-year, two-way contract but was placed on waivers Monday. The 23-year-old has made just seven regular-season appearances in the NHL, but he'll land with Vegas ahead of the 2024-25 campaign. Even though he'll be with a different organization this year, it wouldn't be surprising to see him spend most of the season in the minors.

Flames' Cole Schwindt: Inks two-way deal
Rotowire
Schwindt signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Flames on Wednesday.
Schwindt will make slightly more than the league minimum in the NHL, which carries an $800,000 cap hit. The 23-year-old winger, acquired in the Matthew Tkachuk trade in July of 2022, had 36 points in 66 contests with AHL Calgary last year. He also played in four games with the Flames, and while Schwindt could see more NHL time in 2024-25, he's likely to spend a good portion of the season with the farm team.

Schwindt saw a meager 4:45 of ice time in that contest. He had one shot on net, three hits, one blocked shot, two PIM and a minus-1 rating over three appearances during his stint with the big club.
