Karel Vejmelka - NHL News & Rumors

Credited with shutout Vejmelka stopped all 22 shots he faced in regulation and overtime in Thursday's 1-0 shootout loss to the Blues.

Impact Vejmelka gets the rare shutout without a win, as he allowed three of eight shootout attempts to get behind him. The 30-year-old at least had a good performance, which he needed, as Sebastian Cossa had started to eat into his playing time. Vejmelka had allowed at least three goals in six straight outings prior to Thursday. He's now at a 6-6-1 record with a 3.02 GAA and an .876 save percentage across 14 appearances (13 starts). The Mammoth are set to host the Sharks on Saturday, but it's not yet clear if Vejmelka will get that start or if head coach Andre Tourigny will opt to start a goalie rotation.

Slated starter Thursday Vejmelka is expected to start at home against St. Louis on Thursday.

Impact Vejmelka has gone 0-3-0 with a 3.80 GAA and an .845 save percentage over his past three starts. He has a 6-6-0 record, 3.29 GAA and .867 save percentage in 13 outings in 2026-27. St. Louis has an 8-8-2 record and is tied for 20th in goals per game with 2.94 this campaign.

Beaten three times in loss Vejmelka stopped 17 of 20 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Senators. Ottawa's fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Vejmelka kept Utah competitive through the first two periods but surrendered two third-period goals, including Nick Cousins' decisive deflection with 2:18 remaining. The netminder finished with an .850 save percentage as the Mammoth suffered their second consecutive defeat, but Vejmelka's struggles are deeper than that. He's dropped five of his last six starts, going 1-5-0 with a 4.39 GAA and an .833 save percentage over that stretch. That makes him hard to trust until he finds a way to turn things around.

Set to start Saturday Vejmelka will protect the road goal against the Senators on Saturday, Catherine Bogart of the Mammoth's official site reports.

Impact Vejmelka will get back in the crease after Sebastian Cossa made consecutive starts. A poor stretch of play led to the extended break for Vejmelka -- he had allowed 27 goals on 174 shots (.845 save percentage) over his previous seven games. Vejmelka will need to get his performance back on track quickly to regain his usual large share of playing time.

Poor play continues in Philadelphia Vejmelka allowed five goals on 20 shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Flyers. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Vejmelka was rested in Pittsburgh to begin Utah's road trip, but the game off didn't do him any good. He's now allowed at least three goals in five straight outings, going 1-4-0 in that span. Overall, he's at a 6-5-0 record with a 3.31 GAA and an .868 save percentage across 12 games. Vejmelka's still seeing a heavy workload, but his recent performance is making him tough to trust for good numbers. The Mammoth's next stop on this trip is in Toronto on Tuesday.

Guarding goal Sunday Vejmelka will defend the road net against Philadelphia on Sunday, per Catherine Bogart of the Mammoth's official site.

Impact Vejmelka has gone 1-3-0 in his last four outings, surrendering 16 goals on 104 shots. He owns a 6-4-0 record, a 3.13 GAA and an .877 save percentage in 11 appearances this season. Philadelphia (3-8-4) ranks last in the league with 1.93 goals per game in the 2026-27 campaign.

Yields three goals in loss Vejmelka allowed three goals on 30 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Wild.

Impact Vejmelka turned in a decent effort, but the Mammoth's offense didn't get on the board until late in the third period. This was the first time in Vejmelka's last four starts where he's allowed fewer than four goals. The 30-year-old netminder is at a 6-4-0 record with a 3.13 GAA and an .877 save percentage across 11 outings this season. Vejmelka continues to see plenty of playing time, though with no back-to-backs on the immediate horizon, it's possible Sebastian Cossa will get a spot start at some point during the Mammoth's six-game road trip, which begins in Pittsburgh on Thursday.

Tending twine Tuesday Vejmelka will guard the home paint in Tuesday's clash against the Wild, per Brogan Houston of the Deseret News.

Impact Vejmelka won a narrow matchup against the Lightning in his last outing, which marked his fourth victory over his last six games. Overall, the 30-year-old netminder has a 6-3-0 record, a shutout, 3.13 GAA and a .873 save percentage across 10 appearances. Despite allowing four or more goals in each of his last three outings, he remains a solid No. 2 starting option in fantasy for the time being. He'll face off against a high-powered Wild offense Tuesday, making him a boom-or-bust option in fantasy.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Fends off Lightning in overtime Vejmelka stopped 28 of 32 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Lightning.

Impact Vejmelka's game wasn't great on paper, but he was able to make a few good saves to help get the game to overtime. He had lost his previous two starts, and he's given up at least four goals in four of his last five outings. On the year, Vejmelka sports a 6-3-0 record with a 3.13 GAA and an .874 save percentage across 10 appearances (nine starts). The Mammoth's next game is another tough one at home versus the Wild on Tuesday.

Tending twine Saturday Vejmelka will patrol the home crease in Saturday's clash against the Lightning, per Brogan Houston of the Deseret News.

Impact Vejmelka has struggled over his past two outings, allowing four goals or more in each of the two losses. Outside of that, the 30-year-old backstop has been solid with a 5-3-0 record, a 3.04 GAA and an .872 save percentage over nine appearances. While his stats leave room for improvement, Vejmelka's heavy workload keeps him fantasy relevant despite his recent struggles. He'll face a tough test against the Lightning on Saturday, however, as they enter the contest averaging 3.40 goals per game this season. Vejmelka is still a solid start in fantasy, but a risky one all things considered.

Can't fend off Kraken Vejmelka allowed four goals on 22 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Kraken. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Vejmelka took consecutive losses for the first time this season. He's allowed nine goals on 39 shots in those games. It's a little early in the campaign for workload to be a concern, but Vejmelka has only rested in full for two of the Mammoth's 11 games. He is 5-3-0 with a 3.04 GAA and an .872 save percentage. Fantasy managers will hope he can get back to winning soon, but don't expect shining ratios from the veteran netminder. The Mammoth are slated to host the Lightning on Saturday in what would be a tough matchup should Vejmelka get the start.

Tending twine in Seattle Vejmelka will guard the road goal versus the Kraken on Thursday, Catherine Bogart of the Mammoth's official site reports.

Impact Vejmelka was pulled from his last start after giving up five goals on 17 shots against the Oilers. Sebastian Cossa was able to pick up a win over the Penguins in the next game, but Vejmelka will be back in a starting role Thursday. With five wins over eight appearances, Vejmelka remains a steady fantasy option even with middling ratios.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Chased from loss to Oilers Vejmelka allowed five goals on 17 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Vejmelka was chased in the second period, and Sebastian Cossa stopped three of four shots he faced in relief. Considering Vejmelka played well in a win in Edmonton on Thursday, this was a disappointing performance. The 30-year-old netminder is now 5-2-0 with a 2.89 GAA and an .879 save percentage across eight appearances this season. He's not facing a lot of shots, which will make it tough for Vejmelka to get his save percentage up, but he's still a solid source of wins. Next up is a home game versus the Penguins.

Set to start Saturday Vejmelka is expected to protect the home net against Edmonton on Saturday, according to Cole Bagley of KSL Sports.

Impact Vejmelka was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, putting him on track for his second straight start against the Oilers. He made 22 saves in a 4-2 win over Edmonton on Thursday. Vejmelka is 5-1-0 and has stopped 141 of 157 shots in seven appearances this campaign. Edmonton (5-1-1) sits second in the league with 4.43 goals per game this season.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Takes down Oilers Vejmelka stopped 22 of 24 shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Oilers.

Impact This was Vejmelka's third straight win. The Mammoth were able to keep Edmonton's stars mostly in check, and Vejmelka handled the rest. The 30-year-old netminder improved to 5-1-0 with a 2.39 GAA and an .898 save percentage over seven games (six starts) this season. He should continue to be a good source of wins as the Mammoth look to join the upper tier of contenders. A rematch with the Oilers in Utah is set for Saturday.
