Carter Hart has played poorly lately, allowing 10 goals on 50 combined shots (.800 SV%) over his last two games, leading the way for Schmid to start on Wednesday against the Nashville Predators. Schmid was solid in relief of Hart in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild, saving all 15 shots he faced. The 25-year-old Swiss goalie has a 2.40 GAA and .900 SV% in 19 games this season (11-3-4).
