Nick Schmaltz - NHL News & Rumors

Reaches 20-assist mark Schmaltz provided an assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canucks.

Impact Schmaltz picked up his 20th helper of the year on a Clayton Keller goal midway through the third period. The 28-year-old Schmaltz has four points over his last three games. He's up to 25 points, 68 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 31 appearances. He's on pace to reach the 40-assist mark for the first time in his career, but all that playmaking has him on pace for his lowest goal total in four years.

One of each on power play Schmaltz scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact Schmaltz has three goals and two assists over six games in December. The 28-year-old tied the game at 2-2 in the second period of this contest, then added a helper on Clayton Keller's game-winning goal in the final minute of the third. Schmaltz is up to five goals, 24 points (eight on the power play), 65 shots on net and a minus-5 rating over 30 appearances. While he's primarily a playmaker, the American winger can also score at a decent rate, especially while playing on the top line and first power-play unit.

Generates power-play helper Schmaltz logged a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Schmaltz had gone six games without an assist, but thankfully, he scored his first four goals of the year in that span. The 28-year-old got back to his playmaking ways by setting up Dylan Guenther's second tally in this contest. Schmaltz is up to 22 points (six on the power play), 64 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 29 outings this season, playing mainly on Utah's top line.

Three-game, four-goal streak Schmaltz scored a goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over Buffalo.

Impact He had a goal overturned for goalie interference in the first period that would have opened the scoring. Schmaltz then put Utah up 3-1 at the end of the second period. He was in tight and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen stoned him with an acrobatic save, only to leave the rebound right there for Schmaltz to push it in. The goal stood as the winner. Schmaltz is on a three-game goal streak (four goals) after starting the season on a 23-game goalless skid. He's on a 60-plus point pace, which is more than fantasy worthy.

Supplies two more helpers Schmaltz recorded two assists and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canadiens.

Impact Schmaltz is once again on a playmaking surge, racking up five assists over his last five contests. The 28-year-old remains snakebit for goals -- he's now come up empty on 44 shots this season, though he has 17 helpers through 22 appearances. He's also posted a minus-6 rating, and just four of his assists have come on the power play. It feels like Schmaltz just needs to get that first goal to fall for the dam to break.

Provides two assists in win Schmaltz logged two assists, three shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Penguins.

Impact Schmaltz nearly had his first goal of the season Saturday, but it was overturned on a review for goaltender interference. He has three helpers over his last three games, but the 28-year-old has faltered a bit from a consistency standpoint in November. He's now at 15 helpers, 41 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 20 outings overall. Schmaltz is the only forward in the league to have at least 40 shots on goal and no goals yet -- the other two players who have hit that level of futility are defensemen Jacob Trouba and Brent Burns.

Contributes helper in win Schmaltz posted an assist in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

Impact Schmaltz had recently spent time on the second line, but he was reunited with Clayton Keller and Barrett Hayton for this contest. This was a return to Utah's original top line, which led them to a productive start to the season. Schmaltz has five helpers over the last six games, and he's up to 12 assists and 29 shots on net without a goal over 14 outings this season. He's still a key part of the offense, and he'll break through eventually.

Picks up pair of helpers Schmaltz recorded two assists, including one on the power play, and three shots on net in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Flames.

Impact This was Schmaltz's fourth multi-point game this season, all of which have featured him earning two assists. The 28-year-old is up to 11 helpers without scoring a goal through 11 contests, giving him a share of the team lead in points with Clayton Keller. Schmaltz has added 25 shots on net and a minus-2 rating. He's still a decent depth forward in fantasy for formats that don't put too much importance on goals or physicality.

Gathers helper Saturday Schmaltz posted an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Bruins.

Impact Schmaltz set up Vladislav Kolyachonok's third-period tally, which tied the game at 1-1. This was the first time Schmaltz has logged just one assist in a game -- he had a trio of two-assist performances and two pointless outings to begin the year. The 28-year-old playmaker is up to seven helpers, 15 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through six appearances. He often plays in a pass-first role on the top line, but he's had enough shot volume for one of them to get through soon.

OCTOBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Continues playmaking ways Schmaltz produced two assists, five shots on goal and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Impact Schmaltz set up Barrett Hayton's power-play tally in the first period and an even-strength goal by Clayton Keller in the third. This was the third time in five games that Schmaltz has had two assists, and he's added 13 shots on net, five blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. Playing with Keller and Hayton on the top line, Schmaltz should continue to be a strong playmaker, though he's also topped 20 goals in three straight seasons.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Two more helpers Saturday Schmaltz picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Rangers.

Impact The 28-year-old winger has benefitted early from regular shifts alongside the red-hot Clayton Keller and Barrett Hayton. While Schmaltz is still looking for his first goal of 2024-25, he has four helpers in three games while his linemates have lit the lamp six times between them. Schmaltz also has a secure spot on Utah's top power-play unit, putting him in position to top the career-high 61 points (22 goals, 39 assists) he recorded in 2023-24.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Provides two assists Schmaltz produced two assists, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Schmaltz helped out on his linemates' goals, setting up Clayton Keller in the first period and adding a secondary helper on Barrett Hayton's tally in the second. Schmaltz is the playmaker on Utah's top line, having surpassed the 30-assist mark in four of the last five seasons. The 28-year-old also earned his first 60-point campaign in 2023-24. He'll offer solid secondary offense and power-play production in fantasy, but Schmaltz is rarely a reliable source of non-scoring numbers.
