Date News Advice
March 1, 2026 Schaefer scored twice in AHL Milwaukee's 4-3 overtime win over Manitoba on Sunday. - Schaefer hasn't gotten a call back to the NHL after a brief stint with the big club prior to the Olympic break. The winger continues to play well for the Admirals -- he has 14 goals and 12 assists over 30 outings. The Predators are on the fringe of the playoff race, but it wouldn't be surprising for Schaefer to get a longer look with the big club if it falls out of contention. None
Feb. 6, 2026 Schaefer was loaned to AHL Milwaukee on Friday. - Schaefer has played 27 games in his first season in the NHL, tallying four goals and adding two assists. The 22-year-old, who was selected 32nd overall in the opening round of the 2022 Draft, will get in some extra playing time with the Admirals, where he had six goals and 12 assists in 21 appearances earlier in the season. None
Feb. 4, 2026 Schaefer was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Wednesday. - Schaefer will provide some cover for the Predators heading into a back-to-back versus the Wild and Capitals on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. In his last nine NHL outings, the 22-year-old winger was unable to find the back of the net while putting 10 shots on net and generating two helpers. None
Jan. 27, 2026 Schaefer scored two goals and added an assist in AHL Milwaukee's 5-3 win over Rockford on Tuesday. - Schaefer had gone scoreless in his first three games back in the AHL after getting demoted from the Predators. He broke out in a big way in this contest. Schaefer is up to six goals, 17 points, 50 shots on net and 37 PIM through 19 appearances for the Admirals this season. None
Jan. 20, 2026 Schaefer was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday. - Schaefer has recorded four goals, six points, 63 hits and a minus-9 rating across 25 games in his first NHL season. Ozzy Wiesblatt (upper body) is closing in on a return to the lineup, which resulted in Schaefer's demotion. The 23-year-old Schaefer had a long stint with the big club since being recalled from the minors at the end of November, and he could receive another call-up if the Predators deal with more injuries up front in the future. None
Jan. 1, 2026 Schaefer scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights. - Schaefer snapped a six-game point drought with the tally, which was the third in a span of 5:01 for the Predators. His goal stood as the game-winner. The 22-year-old winger has scored four times on 12 shots while adding 41 hits, 16 blocked shots, 11 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 16 appearances in a bottom-six role. He's providing a little depth scoring but is still on the hunt for his first NHL assist. None
Dec. 16, 2025 Schaefer scored a goal and added two hits in Monday's 5-2 win over the Blues. - Schaefer has scored in every third game since his Nov. 28 call-up. Providing consistent offense from a fourth-line spot is hard, but he makes up for it with physical play, and the Predators' improved offense with him in the lineup bodes well for him sticking around with the big club. The 22-year-old rookie has three goals in nine games, and he's added nine shots on net, 11 PIM, 19 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. None
Dec. 9, 2025 Schaefer scored a goal, added two hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Avalanche. - Schaefer has produced two goals over six NHL appearances so far. His tally at 5:30 of the first period gave the Predators their first lead in this contest. The 22-year-old rookie has been limited to fourth-line minutes, which will hinder his ability to generate offense. He's added seven shots on net, seven PIM, 11 hits and seven blocked shots so far. None
Dec. 2, 2025 Schaefer scored a goal Tuesday in a 5-1 victory over the Flames. - It was Schaefer's first NHL goal. He gave the Preds a 1-0 lead early in the first period when he stuffed in a rebound of a shot attempt by Fedor Svechkov. Schaefer debuted Nov. 28, and he has played three NHL games. He was drafted 32nd overall by Edmonton in the first round of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. None
Nov. 28, 2025 Schaefer was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Friday. - The 22-year-old was selected at the end of the first round in 2022 by Edmonton and has yet to make his NHL debut. Schaefer was off to a good start at Milwaukee with four goals and 10 assists in 15 games. None
Nov. 21, 2025 Schaefer scored twice and added an assist in AHL Milwaukee's 4-2 win over Henderson on Friday. - Schaefer's three goals this season have all come over the last two games.

He's up to 12 points in 13 appearances this season and had 14 points in 19 regular-season outings in 2024-25. None
