The Vegas Golden Knights have called up goaltender from the AHL’s Henderson Silver Knights. Schmid, who has had a rough start in the AHL this season with a 1-5-0 record, a 3.56 goals-against average (GAA), and an .885 save percentage across six games, is set to serve as Adin Hill’s backup. This move comes as Ilya Samsonov remains unavailable for Saturday’s home game against Utah due to an undisclosed issue.
Schmid’s promotion provides support to the Golden Knights’ goaltending roster while Samsonov is sidelined. Despite his challenging performance with the Silver Knights, Schmid will be available to step in as needed during the game, adding depth to the team’s defensive lineup for this matchup.
The Vegas Golden Knights have brought up goalie Akira Schmid from their AHL affiliate, the Henderson Silver Knights, to support the team on Saturday. Schmid’s season in the AHL has been underwhelming so far, with a record of 1-5-0, a goals-against average (GAA) of 3.56, and a save percentage of .885 across six games. Despite these numbers, Schmid will step into the role of backup to Adin Hill for the home game against Utah. This move is necessary as regular goaltender Ilya Samsonov is unavailable for this matchup due to an undisclosed issue. Schmid’s recall aims to provide depth at the position in Samsonov’s absence.
