Not starting after all Vejmelka (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Avalanche.

Impact Vejmelka was previously slated to start the contest, but the injury will prevent him from doing so. Vitek Vanecek will instead get the nod in goal for this contest. Vejmelka will have nearly a week to heal up before the Mammoth's schedule resumes Monday at home versus the Predators.

DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Poised to start Tuesday Vejmelka is expected to guard the cage for Tuesday's road tilt with Colorado, Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports reports.

Impact Vejmelka has consistently played a four-game-on, one-off schedule since mid-November, which means his next opportunity to start after Tuesday's contest may not come until Jan. 1 versus the Islanders. In his last 15 outings, the netminder is sporting an 8-6-0 record to go with one shutout and a 2.56 GAA.

Earns OT win Sunday Vejmelka stopped 23 of 26 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

Impact Vejmelka bounced back from the 2-1 defeat against the Devils on Friday, though that was a game in which he still posted a .909 save percentage. The lack of offensive support has been an issue for Vejmelka at times, but the 29-year-old has posted a save percentage of .900 or higher in four of his last five games, going 4-1-0 with a 2.62 GAA over that span.

Takes narrow loss Vejmelka allowed two goals on 22 shots in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Devils.

Impact Vejmelka's three-game winning streak came to an end, though this wasn't a bad performance for the 29-year-old netminder. He allowed goals to Connor Brown and Stefan Noesen (on the power play). Vejmelka is now 15-10-2 with a 2.69 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 28 outings overall. He continues to handle a starting role for the Mammoth, and he'll probably get the nod versus the reeling Jets on Sunday.
