March 2022 – Schmid appeared in six games this year with the Devils, putting up lackluster numbers (4.33 GAA, .867 sv%) in his stint, but has been decent at the AHL level in 28 games (2.38 GAA, .918 sv%). He needs time, but could become a decent backup. Hadi Kalakeche
October 2021 – Schmid signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Devils. The team then sent him down to the Utica Comets, the Devils’ new AHL affiliate, where he will play professional hockey for the first time in his career. This season will be key in seeing how high Schmid’s ceiling truly is. Hadi Kalakeche
March 2020 – Schmid took a big step back this season mostly as injuries limited him to just 13 games started. His numbers were less than ideal as he barely compiled a .890 save percentage overall between Omaha and Sioux City of the AHL. He will need to get healthy and work on his lateral movement in the summer. Chris Wassel
November 2019 – Schmid has had a bit of a rough month with the Omaha Lancers but is still 2-2-1 with a 3.01 goals-against average and .891 save percentage. Omaha did stumble out of the gates a bit to start the season much like last year but Schmid looked good in his first three starts. Schmid has been out for almost two weeks with an undisclosed injury. Updates will come as conditions warrant. Chris Wassel
April 2019 – Schmid continues to impress and will continue to work in Omaha. He finished the season with Omaha at .500 with a 2.18 goals-against average and .926 save percentage. Those are impressive totals for a player transitioning from Europe to North America. Schmidt tailed off a bit in April but still had a career year. He learned patience is truly best on and off the ice. Chris Wassel
March 2019 – Schmid bounced around a bit as he headed to North Amer
