| March 28, 2026 | Schmelzer scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Utica's 5-3 win over Cleveland on Saturday. - Schmelzer, the Comets' captain, hasn't done much on offense this season. He has been held to 22 points (three goals, 19 assists) over 57 appearances this season after logging 44 points in 72 regular-season games last year. At this point in his career, the 32-year-old Schmelzer is just an AHL veteran and is unlikely to see much time, if any, at the NHL level. | None |

| April 30, 2024 | Schmelzer agreed to terms on a two-year, two-way contract with New Jersey on Tuesday. - Schmelzer went undrafted coming out of college but spent the last six seasons with the Devils' AHL affiliate without ever signing a two-way deal. The 30-year-old center appears to have finally shown the club enough after racking up 18 goals and 34 helpers in 72 games for the Comets this season. Despite the NHL contract, Schmelzer will likely continue to play the bulk of his minutes in the minors next year. | None |
