His first career NHL goal was scored on November 14, 2009, against Marty Turco of the Dallas Stars. [2]
During the 2012–13 NHL lockout, Schlemko played 14 games for the Arizona Sundogs of the Central Hockey League (CHL).

As a free agent on September 10, 2015, Schlemko joined his fourth organization within a year by signing a one-year contract with the New Jersey Devils.

On July 1, 2016, Schlemko was rewarded from his tenure with the Devils by signing a four-year contract as a free agent with the San Jose Sharks. [6] In the 2016–17 season, Schlemko solidified the Sharks blueline, appearing in 62 games in matching his previous season 6 goals while contributing with 18 points.
Schlemko's tenure with the Sharks was limited to one season as he was selected by the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft on June 21, 2017. [7] The following day, the Golden Knights promptly dealt him to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick in 2019. [8] Schlemko missed the beginning of the 2017–18 season with the Canadiens after breaking his hand on his first day of training camp with the club. Nearing a return from injury, Schlemko played one game on a conditioning stint with AHL affiliate, the Laval Rocket, before suffering a setback in requiring surgery to remove bone fragments in his hand on October 19, 2017. [9] Schlemko missed the first 25 games of the season before returning to make 37 appearances and adding 1 goal and four assists.
For a second consecutive year, Schlemko was placed on the injured reserve list to begin the 2018–19 season, after injuring his knee in a pre-season game on September 29, 2018.

[11] Schlemko registered 4 points in 8 games for the Rockets before he was traded by the Canadiens with Byron Froese to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for Dale Weise and Christian Folin on February 9, 2019. [12] Schlemko reported directly to AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, and played out the remainder of the regular season to appear in 18 games for 4 assists.
On June 30, 2019, Schlemko was placed on unconditional waivers by the Flyers in order to buy out the remaining year on his contract. [13]
