88 Nate Schmidt D

Schmidt scored a goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Oilers.

Schmidt got the Canucks on the board with his second-period marker. The 29-year-old defenseman has opened his scoring account with his new team. He's also added five blocked shots and three shots on net in two games. Schmidt is a decent depth option for fantasy managers, but Quinn Hughes' power-play prowess will reduce how effective Schmidt can be offensively.

Schmidt was traded from Vegas to Vancouver in exchange for a 2022 third-round draft pick Monday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

The Canucks were able to take advantage of Vegas' tight cap situation after the team signed Alex Pietrangelo on Monday. Schmidt scored 31 points in 59 games last season, his third straight season with at least 30 points. The Minnesota native should be a strong, top-four minutes eater with Vancouver as he was with the Golden Knights.

Schmidt had a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Stars in Game 4.

Schmidt received a faceoff win from Paul Stastny and teed up Alec Martinez for a one-timer from the point, which counted as Vegas' lone goal. Schmidt had gone six games without a point entering Saturday. The 29-year-old blueliner has two goals, seven helpers and 64 hits through 19 playoff outings.

Through nine games in February, Schmidt has two goals and five helpers. He's up to 29 points, 99 shots, 78 blocks and a plsu-4 rating in 50 contests overall.

This was Schmidt's first goal since he scored a pair Dec. 27. If he gets hot, Schmidt could still reach his career high of nine goals, which he tallied last season. Schmidt could set a new high-water mark in points, too, but the key will be staying healthy. Schmidt has only played more than 72 games once in his career, and he's already missed 12 contests this season. He has five goals and 22 points with a plus-2 rating and 78 shots in 41 games this season.

Schmidt blocked seven shots Friday in a 3-2 overtime win over the Stars.

Believe it or not, the Stars had one of their own defensemen (Esa Lindell) match Schmidt's gaudy blocked-shots total. Schmidt snapped a two-game point streak, but he presumably provided a nice return for DFS players involved in contests that issue points for redirected shots.
