Schmidt was held off the scoresheet in December, but he's logged three points and a plus-6 rating over 12 contests in January to help him maintain a spot in the lineup. He's up to four goals, seven assists, 38 shots on net, 51 hits, 34 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 48 appearances. Adam Boqvist and Tobias Bjornfot were healthy scratches Saturday, but it doesn't look like either will challenge Schmidt's third-pairing role.
