Cole Schwindt - NHL News & Rumors

In part-time role Schwindt has played in five of nine games in December.

Impact Schwindt was scratched for four games in a row in the middle of the month. Injuries to Ivan Barbashev (upper body) and Nicolas Roy (upper body) have opened up a spot in the lineup for Schwindt again, but he hasn't done much with it. The 23-year-old is in the midst of a nine-game point drought, and he has just six assists with 21 shots on net, 16 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 27 contests in a fourth-line role this season.

Hands out helper Saturday Schwindt posted an assist in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Canadiens.

Impact 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.

Sends assist in win Schwindt posted an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact 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.

Earns two helpers in win Schwindt notched two assists and went plus-3 in Monday's 5-0 win over the Flames.

Impact 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.

Flames lose Cole Schwindt on waivers as Jakob Pelletier goes unclaimed While Jakob Pelletier will remain in the Flames system, fellow forward prospect Cole Schwindt was claimed off waivers by the Golden Knights.

OCTOBER 14 • CALGARYHERALD.COM

Picks up first career assist Schwindt registered an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 4-3 win over the Blues.

Impact 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.

Heading to Vegas Schwindt was claimed off waivers by the Golden Knights on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to waivers Schwindt was placed on the waiver wire Sunday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Schwindt generated 14 goals and 36 points in 66 games with AHL Calgary during the 2023-24 regular season. He will probably spend the majority of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Inks two-way deal Schwindt signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Flames on Wednesday.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to AHL Schwindt was demoted to the minors Friday.

Impact Schwindt played 7:40 of ice time against the Sharks on Thursday, recording one hit along the way. Now, the 22-year-old winger returns to AHL Calgary while Dryden Hunt was recalled in a corresponding move. Despite the lack of production at the NHL level, Schwindt should remain on the shortlist of potential call-ups the rest of the way.

FEBRUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled Wednesday Schwindt was summoned from AHL Calgary on Wednesday.

Impact Schwindt has nine goals and 21 points in 41 AHL contests in 2023-24. He's also appeared in three games with the Flames while recording no points, two PIM, one shot, three hits and one block.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bus league Schwindt was reassigned to AHL Calgary on Tuesday.

Impact Schwindt has sat as a healthy scratch for four straight contests since being promoted from the minors Feb. 4. Although he'll head to the minors for now, it wouldn't be surprising to see him back with the big club as an emergency depth option ahead of Thursday's game against San Jose.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled Sunday Schwindt was promoted from AHL Calgary on Sunday.

Impact Schwindt has been held scoreless in three NHL appearances this season. The 22-year-old is still searching for his first career point. He has eight goals and 20 points through 40 games at the AHL level.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Drops to minor-league affiliate Schwindt was reassigned to AHL Calgary following Saturday's 1-0 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact 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. One of Schwindt or Adam Klapka will likely remain in the minors following the All-Star break, but both will get the chance to play while the big club is on a bye week.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from minors Schwindt was brought up from AHL Calgary on Tuesday.

Impact Schwindt has notched eight goals and 20 points in 37 minor-league outings this season. It's unclear at this time if he will get a chance to make his Calgary debut prior to the All-Star break. The 22-year-old forward skated in three games with Florida during the 2021-22 campaign, collecting three shots on goal and five hits.
