Takes loss in St. Louis Schmid allowed two goals on 33 shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Blues. The last two goals were empty-netters.

Impact Schmid put in his best game of the season, but the Devils' offense, sans Jack Hughes (lower body) for much of the game, couldn't support the goalie. Through four outings, Schmid is 1-1-1 with 12 goals allowed on 106 shots. Vitek Vanecek isn't exactly dominating, but he's been getting results lately, so he'll likely be back between the pipes for Sunday's game in Chicago.

Guarding cage Friday Schmid will get the starting nod in St. Louis on Friday, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Schmid was chased early in his last outing Oct. 25 after coughing up three goals on just eight shots against Washington. The 23-year-old has been tagged with 10 goals on 73 shots through three appearances. He's 1-0-1 but has allowed at least three goals in each appearance so far.

Pulled after shaky first period Schmid stopped five of eight shots in the first period of Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Schmid was replaced by Vitek Vanecek to begin the middle frame. The Devils' four-goal rally in the second period meant Schmid avoided the loss. With 10 goals allowed on 73 shots through three outings, the 23-year-old has yet to regain the form that he displayed over 18 contests last season. If Schmid continues to struggle, Vanecek could settle into a larger role. The Devils are back in action Friday at home versus the Sabres.

Set to start Wednesday Schmid is slated to start at home against Washington on Wednesday.

Impact Schmid and Vitek Vanecek have been alternating starts with the latter stopping 27 of 29 shots in a 5-2 victory over Montreal on Tuesday. In contrast, Schmid has struggled, allowing seven goals on 65 shots (.892 save percentage) over two contests this season, so he'll be looking to rebound Wednesday. The Capitals have averaged just 1.20 goals per game in 2023-24, so there's an opportunity here for Schmid to have a good game.

Wins wild game in overtime Schmid allowed four goals on 32 shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime win against the Islanders.

Impact Schmid wasn't at his best, but he was the beneficiary of four power-play goals in regulation to help bail him out time and time again. The 23-year-old Swiss-born backstop has allowed seven goals on 65 shots across two starts, but he hasn't lost in regulation thanks to plenty of offensive support.

In goal versus Isles Schmid will protect the road goal versus the Islanders on Friday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Schmid and Vitek Vanecek have alternated starts so far. This is Schmid's second outing of the season -- he took a shootout loss against the Coyotes in his season debut last Friday. Through two games, the Islanders' offense hasn't shown much pop with just four goals, making this a favorable matchup for the 23-year-old netminder.

Makes 30 saves in home setback Schmid allowed three goals on 33 shots in Friday's 4-3 shootout loss against the Coyotes.

Impact Schmid fell into a 2-0 hole early in the second period, but the offense bailed him out with three unanswered goals. He had little chance on a power-play goal in the third period by Nick Schmaltz. After a scoreless overtime, both Nick Bjugstad and Schmaltz beat Schmid in the shootout for the difference makers.

Guarding cage Friday Schmid will protect the home goal Friday versus the Coyotes, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Schmid will get the second half of a back-to-back after Vitek Vanecek picked up the win Thursday against the Red Wings. This is Schmid's first start of the season. The 23-year-old went 9-5-2 with a 2.13 GAA and a .922 save percentage in 18 contests last season, establishing himself as a strong backup option for the Devils.

Expected to start Thursday Schmid is set to guard the road crease against Carolina in Game 5 on Thursday.

Impact New Jersey is going back to Schmid after Vitek Vanecek allowed 11 goals on 57 shots over the Devils' last three contests. Schmid has a 2.29 GAA and .921 save percentage in eight playoff outings this year, but he has struggled recently too, surrendering eight goals on 48 shots over his last three outings. Carolina has averaged 3.70 goals per game in the 2023 postseason.

Takes season-ending loss Schmid stopped 36 of 39 Carolina shots Thursday. It was not enough, however. The Devils took a season-ending 3-2 loss in overtime.

Impact Schmid was Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde in his nine postseason appearances. He could follow a 31-save shutout by allowing three goals on 11 shots. He may be the goaltender of the future in New Jersey, but the postseason left managers with more questions than answers about Schmid.

Makes 11 saves in relief Schmid kicked out 11 of 12 shots in relief in a 6-1 loss to Carolina in Game 4 on Tuesday.

Impact Vitek Vanecek surrendered five goals on 17 shots before being pulled midway through the second period. Schmid was beaten by Jordan Martinook towards the end of the second frame, but he was great the rest of the way. Schmid, who wasn't charged with the loss Tuesday, has a 4-3 record, 2.29 GAA and .921 save percentage in eight playoff outings this year. It wouldn't be surprising to see him start in Game 5 on Thursday, given how badly Vanecek has struggled in the postseason.

Gets pulled in loss to Carolina Schmid allowed four goals on 25 shots before being pulled in New Jersey's 6-1 loss to Carolina in Game 2 on Friday.

Impact Schmid was strong in the first period, but after surrendering four goals on 16 shots in the second, Vitek Vanecek was put in net for the third frame. Although Schmid posted a 4-1 record, 1.38 GAA and .951 save percentage in five contests from April 22-May 1, he's now been yanked in each of his last two appearances. Schmid's recent struggles might result in Vanecek starting Sunday.

Guarding cage Friday Schmid will get the starting nod in Carolina for Game 2 on Friday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact After an impressive series against the Rangers, Schmid was blitzed by Carolina in Game 1. He coughed up three goals on 11 shots and was yanked shortly after the start of the second period. The team has faith that he can turn the series around and will send him back out for Game 2 on Friday. Schmid is 4-2 with a .935 save percentage in six postseason appearances.

Gets hook in Game 1 Schmid was pulled from Game 1 against the Hurricanes on Wednesday after allowing three goals on 11 shots.

Impact Schmid got the hook after the Devils fell behind 3-0 just 1:55 into the second period, and he ultimately took the loss. The 22-year-old goalie won four of the final five games in New Jersey's first-round series against the Rangers while allowing only seven goals, but Carolina had little trouble figuring him out. It remains to be seen if the Devils go with Schmid or Vitek Vanecek -- who allowed one goal on 11 shots Wednesday -- in Game 2 on Friday.
