2023-12-22 11:07:49

Akira Schmid’s first “full” season is not a smooth ride. Too inconsistent for weeks, the Bernese was “hunted” after only 5’24” of play against Edmonton.

Beaten twice out of the 6 shots aimed at him, Akira Schmid gave way to holder Vitek Vanecek during New Jersey’s 6-3 home defeat. Trailing 2-0, the Devils turned the situation around to lead 3-2 at the call of the 3rd period thanks to goals from Jonas Siegenthaler, his first of the season, and Timo Meier, who ended a series improbable 9 matches in a row without a single point since his return from injury.

However, the Oliers had to win the bet with 3 goals scored in the space of… 69” to inflict on the Devils their 3rd defeat in a row. Before these 3 losses, Nico Hischier and his teammates had won 8 matches out of 10. As for Akira Schmid, he must bounce back very quickly. His statistics, 89.5% saves, relegate him to… 45th in the League goalkeeper rankings.
