Nets go-ahead goal Saturday Schmaltz scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
Impact Schmaltz is riding a five-game point streak (three goals, three assists) after netting the go-ahead tally Saturday. The 28-year-old forward was the only member of Utah's top line to be limited to one point -- Clayton Keller had four and Logan Cooley added three -- but Schmaltz continues to be a key player in his own right. He's at nine goals, 35 points, 100 shots on net and a minus-11 rating through 45 appearances this season. He's got a good chance of reaching the 60-point mark for the second year in a row.

Schmaltz has seven goals, 23 assists, 89 shots on net and a minus-11 rating through 41 appearances this season.
