Latest news
Schaefer scored a goal Saturday in a 5-4 shootout win over Tampa Bay. He also had four hits.
It was Schaefer's first game back after being scratched for four straight games. The goal was his first point this season in his seventh game. Schaefer tried to make an impression with his physicality, which increased his season hit total to 13. It was a nice night, but it remains to be seen if it's enough to keep him in the lineup full time.

Schaefer was scratched for the fourth consecutive game when he sat out Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Capitals.
Schaefer has played in six of 13 games for Nashville this season, but he has yet to record a point. The 23-year-old winger has collected five shots on net, nine hits, four PIM, four blocked shots and a minus-1 rating while filling a fourth-line role when he plays. The Predators have often dressed seven defensemen instead of a 12th forward, which makes it difficult to predict how much playing time Schaefer will see. He's also competing with Vitali Pinchuk for opportunities to make the lineup.

Schaefer scored a goal in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Devils.
Schaefer snapped a seven-game slump with the tally. The winger has two goals over 10 appearances since returning to the NHL in early March. He's up to six goals, two assists, 32 shots on net, 93 hits, 28 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 37 appearances. Schaefer will likely continue to fill a fourth-line role this season, but the 22-year-old could work his way into a middle-six job as a power winger as soon as 2026-27.

Schaefer scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
Schaefer's tally midway through the second period tied the game at 2-2. The 22-year-old has played in two of the last three contests, though he's not guaranteed to be in the lineup all of the time for the rest of the season, as he'll have to fend off Ozzy Wiesblatt for fourth-line minutes. Schaefer has earned five goals, two assists, 26 shots on net, 73 hits, 20 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 29 appearances with Nashville in his rookie campaign.

Schaefer is expected to be recalled from AHL Milwaukee prior to Thursday's game versus the Bruins, Nick Kieser of Lower Broad Hockey reports.
Schaefer is part of a wave of call-ups to replace the three players the Predators dealt away Tuesday and Wednesday. Schaefer will likely contend for bottom-six minutes. He has six points in 27 NHL outings this season and 28 points in 31 contests in the AHL

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.
