Schmid turned aside 23 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

After allowing two goals in the second period, Schmid and the Golden Knights dominated the third to force overtime. However, Jake Evans beat Schmid clean on a rush that produced the winner. Schmid has lost two straight decisions since his four-start win streak ended. Through seven outings in January, he's gone 4-1-2 with a 2.61 GAA and an .895 save percentage.
