Schaller did not appear in an NHL game last season. Instead, he spent the entirety of the year with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. In 32 games as an alternate captain, he scored 10 goals and recorded 18 points. With Bakersfield, he should provide them with solid scoring.

Schaller last played in the NHL during the 2019-20 season. In 51 games with the Vancouver Canucks, he scored five goals and added an assist. He also would play two games with the Los Angeles Kings, but was held off the scoresheet. In 276 career NHL games, Schaller has 29 goals, 28 assists and 57 points.

Now, he will be playing with Bakersfield and will likely have a leadership role.
