Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Cruises to road win
Vejmelka allowed two goals on 31 shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Kings.
Vejmelka got all the help he needed as the Mammoth put up three goals in the first period. The 29-year-old did his part to play a steady game between the pipes, though the Kings' top line did get to him twice. He's won three of his last five appearances, giving up nine goals on 111 shots in that span. Vejmelka is up to 33-19-3 on the season with a 2.69 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 57 appearances. He should continue to see the bulk of the playing time as the Mammoth battle for positioning in the Western Conference wild-card race. The Mammoth are off until Thursday's game in Seattle, which is a pivotal one in the playoff battle.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Enters game in relief
Vejmelka stopped the only shot he faced in relief of Vitek Vanecek in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Capitals.
Vejmelka logged 7:17 on the ice, and he was pulled for an extra skater, allowing Alex Ovechkin to net an empty-netter to complete his hat trick. The 29-year-old Vejmelka was pulled from his last start, but it doesn't look like a goalie crisis is brewing for the Mammoth. On the year, Vejmelka is 32-19-3 with a 2.71 GAA and an .897 save percentage, and he'll likely get the nod in a critical matchup in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Vejmelka stopped 25 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Wild.
