On the Ice
In his ninth NHL season, Schmaltz had plenty of on-ice highs. The forward set new career-highs in games played (82), assists (43), points (63), power play points (25), and faceoff win percentage (49.2%). In his first season playing a full 82 games, Schmaltz’s 20 goals were fourth-most on the team, his 43 assists were second, and his 63 points were third. In addition to being a key part of Utah’s offense, Schmaltz was a significant piece with the team’s power play, and his nine power play goals ranked third on the roster.
Throughout the season, Schmaltz’s name was a common sight on the scoresheet with the forward recording 14 multi-point games, and contributing points in 47 contests. One of his most significant goals of the season was against the Washington Capitals on Feb. 9 when Schmaltz’s shootout tally secured the 5-4 win, and the team’s first shootout win in franchise history.
