Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: First goalie off Monday
Vejmelka was the first goalie to exit the ice Monday, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports, indicating he'll defend the cage at home versus Vegas.
Vejmelka has posted middling results of late, going 2-1-2 with a 2.77 GAA in his last five outings. Despite the overtime losses, the 29-year-old netminder was able tos ecure his team at least a point in four of those contests, keeping the Mammoth in the hunt for a playoff spot. With one more win, Vejmelka will earn his 10th victory of the season, a threshold he's reached in each of his prior four NHL campaigns.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Collects win over Rangers
Vejmelka stopped 20 of 22 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
Vejmelka was 0-1-2 with 10 goals allowed over his last three games before snapping the skid in this win. He allowed goals to Vladislav Gavrikov and Artemi Panarin, but Nick DeSimone had the game-winning tally for the Mammoth in the third period. Vejmelka is up to 9-5-2 with a 2.87 GAA and an .884 save percentage over 16 starts. He's been a reliable source of starts and wins as Utah's No. 1 goalie, but his ratios are still a little underwhelming for fantasy. The Mammoth have a tough matchup ahead when they host the Golden Knights on Monday.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Looking to get back in win column
Vejmelka will be between the home pipes Saturday against the Rangers, according to Catherine Bogart of Mammoth's official site.
Vejmelka has lost three consecutive outings (two in overtime) and is 1-2-2 with a 3.56 GAA and an .852 save percentage across his last five starts. He'll have a relatively favorable matchup against a Rangers squad that ranks 30th in the league with 2.50 goals per game and is mired in a three-game losing streak. However, New York has been good on the road with a 9-3-1 record in 2025-26.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Allows four goals in loss
Vejmelka stopped 29 of 33 shots on goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
After a clean first period, Vejmelka struggled in the second, allowing three of Vegas' four goals Thursday. With the loss, the 29-year-old goaltender has an 8-5-2 record with a 2.93 GAA and an .880 save percentage through 15 appearances this season. After a strong start to the season, he has begun to regress with an 0-1-2 record and an .875 save percentage across his last three starts. The Mammoth have proven that they can be competitive in the Central Division at times this season, but they are currently mired in a four-game losing streak. If they can flip the switch sooner rather than later, Vejmelka is set to benefit as the team's clear top option between the pipes. Depending on the matchup, Vejmelka is a solid spot start in standard fantasy leagues and should be rostered in deep leagues that feature two goalies due to his sheer volume of opportunities. His next chance to take the ice is Saturday on home ice against the Rangers.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Starting against Vegas
Vejmelka was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Golden Knights.
Vejmelka will start for the fourth time in Utah's last five games. Across his last three outings, he's gone 1-0-2 with a 2.62 GAA and .879 save percentage. The Golden Knights are tied for 13th in the league with 3.16 goals per game this season.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Tagged with OT loss Monday
Vejmelka stopped 23 of 26 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks.
Vejmelka has dropped back-to-back games in overtime, as it also happened in a 3-2 loss to the Islanders on Friday. What's even more concerning is that Vejmelka has gone four straight starts with a save percentage below the .900 mark. Over that four-game slump, Vejmelka is 1-1-2 with a 3.45 GAA and an .843 save percentage. His starting role isn't in danger, but he might serve as the backup Tuesday against the Sharks on the second leg of Utah's back-to-back set.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Set to start in Anaheim
Vejmelka will patrol the road blue paint Monday against the Ducks, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
Vejmelka has alternated wins and losses across his last four starts, posting a 2-1-1 record, 2.97 GAA and .852 save percentage over that stretch. The Ducks have cooled off lately, losing three consecutive games while netting just four goals during their skid. Even so, Anaheim is tied for second in the NHL with 3.67 goals per game heading into Monday's action.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Drops result in overtime
Vejmelka stopped 18 of 21 shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders.
Vejmelka couldn't make a 2-1 lead after one period stand. Jonathan Drouin got credit for the equalizer in the third period, and Matthew Schaefer's one-timer from the top of the right faceoff circle in overtime sent Vejmelka to his fourth defeat in his last six outings. He has not faced more than 25 shots in any of those games, which has led to a shaky save percentage despite the Mammoth's effective defense. The 29-year-old netminder slipped to 8-4-1 on the year with a 2.84 GAA and an .880 save percentage over 13 starts. Vejmelka will likely be called on for a challenging road start in Anaheim on Monday, which is the first half of a back-to-back set.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Tending twine against Islanders
Vejmelka will protect the home goal versus the Islanders on Friday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Vejmelka has gone 2-2-0 with 12 goals allowed on 85 shots over four games in November. The Islanders have been decent at filling the net, scoring 20 times over their last six games while going 4-1-1 in that span, which could make this a tough matchup for Vejmelka and the Mammoth.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Wins over Sabres again
Vejmelka stopped 17 of 19 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
Vejmelka has just two wins over his last five outings, and both have been over the Sabres. The 29-year-old allowed the first two goals of the game to Isak Rosen, but the Mammoth were able to fire back with five straight tallies to take the win. Vejmelka is now 8-4-0 on the year with a 2.84 GAA and an .882 save percentage over 12 starts. He's faced more than 25 shots in just three of his outings as Utah's defense keeps traffic from getting to the net, but he hasn't really put in a dominant performance yet. The Mammoth's next game is Friday at home versus the Islanders.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Exits ice first
Vejmelka was the first goalie off the ice Wednesday, Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus the Sabres.
Vejmelka has lost three of his last four outings while posting a 3.78 GAA -- though his lone victory over the stretch was against Buffalo. The 29-year-old netminder saw the bulk of the workload to open the year, featuring in 10 of the opening 13 contests. He has been splitting the workload of late with Vitek Vanecek and will play for just the second time in the Mammoth's last four games.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Gives up six goals
Vejmelka stopped 17 of 23 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Montreal.
Vejmelka gave up a season-high six goals in this loss after allowing three or fewer goals in each of his previous two starts. The fact that Vejmelka has posted a save percentage of .880 or lower in three of his last four starts makes it hard for fantasy managers to trust him on a steady basis.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Set to face Montreal
Vejmelka will defend the road net against the Canadiens on Saturday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Vejmelka is coming off a 17-save effort in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over Buffalo. He has a 7-3-0 record with a 2.60 GAA and an .894 save percentage through 10 appearances this season. Montreal is third in the league this campaign with 3.64 goals per game.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Sharp in seventh win
Vejmelka made 17 saves in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Sabres.
While he wasn't busy on a night in which Utah outshot Buffalo 35-18, Vejmelka took a shutout into the third period before giving up a fluky goal to Noah Ostlund -- the initial shot went over the net, bounced off the glass and got knocked down by Isak Rosen before landing at Ostlund's feet for a second chance. Vejmelka got his revenge, though, picking up an assist on Clayton Keller's OT winner. The 29-year-old netminder is 7-3-0 through 10 starts to begin the season with a 2.60 GAA and an .894 save percentage.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Tending twine Tuesday
Vejmelka will patrol the crease on the road versus the Sabres on Tuesday, per Michael Augello of The Hockey News.
Vejmelka will be looking for a bounce-back performance after losing his last two appearances while posting a combined 4.08 GAA. Despite the recent slump, the 29-year-old netminder is having a good year overall, going 6-3-0 in his nine outings for the Mammoth. Look for Vejmelka to continue seeing the bulk of the workload the rest of the campaign, possibly pushing for the 60-game mark.

Vejmelka has lost back-to-back starts after winning his previous six. The 29-year-old has allowed eight goals during the two-game skid after giving up only 16 across his six-start winning streak. His save percentage has dipped to .890, to go along with a 6-3-0 record and 2.75 GAA.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Has first rough game
Vejmelka allowed five goals on 24 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.
This was the first really bad game for Vejmelka, though he allowed four goals on 20 shots against the Blues last week in a win. The 29-year-old netminder won't be at his best all the time, but he's been a big positive for the Mammoth early in the season. He's 6-2-0 with a 2.75 GAA and an .892 save percentage over eight starts this season. The Mammoth are back at home for a game Sunday versus the Lightning before embarking on their third road trip of the year and the first one to take them into the Eastern Conference.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Win streak at six
Vejmelka turned aside 33 shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Wild.
The Mammoth scored three times before five minutes had elapsed in the first period, giving Vejmelka more than enough cushion to cruise to his sixth straight win. The 29-year-old netminder has benefitted from some impressive offensive support -- Utah's scored at least six goals in three of his last four starts -- but he's done his part with a 2.43 GAA and .905 save percentage through seven outings.
