The Florida Panthers have agreed to terms with goaltender Akira Schmid on a two-year contract, according to a report from the team's official Twitter account.
Akira Schmid, 26, is a goaltender for the Florida Panthers. In the 2025-26 season, Schmid played 34 games, posting a 16-10 record with a 2.59 goals-against average and a .893 save percentage, including two shutouts. These numbers suggest he has been a reliable starter in a tandem role for the team.
The Panthers have not provided additional details about the terms of the contract or how Schmid will fit into their goaltending plans moving forward.
With Schmid under contract, the Panthers continue to build depth in their net. The team comes into the season with a strong foundation, having made several key additions to their roster this offseason.
