The Winter Classic outdoor game between the Chicago Blackhawks and Boston Bruins was on the TV in the Golden Knights locker room as the morning skate concluded Tuesday.
Schmidt was intrigued by the possibility of playing in the event.
“I think these games are great for the sport,” he said. “I love the traditional matchups like this, but at the same time, it would be nice to see a Golden Knights game. It seems as though there’s similar types of teams every year, which I understand in that you want to hit as broad an audience as possible just to grow the sport.
