Win streak snapped by Rangers Vejmelka made 24 saves in an 8-5 loss to the Rangers. He allowed six goals.

Impact He went into the third locked in a 3-3 tie, but his team collapsed early in the third and allowed three consecutive goals before his mates made a game of it. Vejmelka had come into Saturday on a three-game winning streak (four goals allowed). If the Coyotes follow its recent pattern of alternating starters, Vejmelka will suit up Friday against Vegas. That's a rough matchup, so find another option for next week's games.

Impact Vejmelka has won four of his six outings in March, allowing 12 goals in that span. The 27-year-old gave up a goal to Ryker Evans in the third period, but the Coyotes pulled off some late heroics Friday. Vejmelka is up to 10-17-2 with a 3.28 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 32 appearances this season.

MARCH 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Strong play in March continues Vejmelka made 37 saves in a 4-1 win over the Devils on Saturday.

Impact Nick DeSimone, playing in his second game with the Devils, was the only man to beat Vejmelka. He started a rush and finished it with a shot inside the left post off a pass from Curtis Lazar. Vejmelka had a horrendous first two months of 2024, going 0-8-0 with 37 goals allowed in eight starts before ringing off a 3-2-0 record and just 11 goals allowed in five starts this month. The Yotes are a bad team, but Vejmelka might be a surprising fantasy value over the next few weeks.

MARCH 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Allows three in loss Vejmelka allowed three goals on 26 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Minnesota.

Impact After two solid starts with a save percentage of .919 or better, Vejmelka floundered again on Thursday, posting an .885 save percentage. It wasn't all his fault, but that's a poor balm at this point in the season. The team will make it hard for him to bounce back as it ships out players at the trade deadline. It's difficult to see how things get better in the desert.

MARCH 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Guarding crease Thursday Vejmelka will be in net Thursday at home against the Wild, per Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports.

Impact Vejmelka was stellar in his last start Sunday against the Capitals stopping 24 of 26 shots in a 5-2 win. The 27-year-old will look to win his third straight game against a team that ranks 18th in goals per game at 3.08. He will look to properly the Coyotes to win after an embarrassing loss to the Blackhawks on Tuesday at home.

MARCH 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sharp in Sunday's win Vejmelka made 24 saves in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.

Impact The 27-year-old netminder was perfect at 5-on-5, with the Caps' only goals coming on power plays in the second and third periods. Vejmelka has started two straight games and won them both, allowing five goals on 63 shots, and with Connor Ingram winless since Jan. 22, the Coyotes' starting job between the pipes could be up for grabs.

MARCH 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting in Washington Vejmelka will guard the road goal Sunday against the Capitals, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.

Impact Vejmelka is coming off a 34-save performance in Friday's 5-3 win over Ottawa. Through 27 games played this campaign, he has provided a 7-15-2 record with one shutout, a 3.59 GAA and an .892 save percentage. Washington ranks 30th in the league with 2.63 goals per contest this season.

MARCH 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Snaps lengthy losing streak Vejmelka made 34 saves in Friday's 5-3 win over the Senators.

Impact The Coyotes handed Vejmelka a 3-0 lead before the first intermission, but the 27-year-old netminder quickly squandered it and the game was tied 3-3 before the end of the second period. However, he kicked out all seven shots he faced in the third as Arizona regained the lead for good. It was Vejmelka's first win since Dec. 27, snapping an 0-8-0 slump over his prior 10 outings in which he's stumbled to a 4.76 GAA and .873 save percentage. Connor Ingram is also winless in his last eight starts so the door is open for Vejmelka to take over the No. 1 job, but he'll need more than just one decent effort to move up the depth chart.

It has been a tough season for Vejmelka, who is 6-15-2 with a 3.62 GAA and an .891 save percentage. He will face the Senators, who sit at 53 points, good for 27th overall in the NHL standings.

MARCH 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Vejmelka has struggled over the past week, suffering back-to-back losses to the Hurricanes and the Avalanche while posting an unsightly 5.18 GAA and .857 save percentage. The 27-year-old netminder will try to snap his personal seven-game losing streak, which dates all the way back to the beginning of January, in a tough home matchup with a red-hot Toronto team that's won four straight games.

FEBRUARY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Falls to Avalanche Vejmelka allowed four goals on 37 shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to Colorado.

Impact Vejmelka held his own for most of the night, but he'd ultimately wind up with the loss after Devon Toews buried the game-winner midway through the third period. Vejmelka's last win came on Dec. 27 -- he's gone 0-7-0 with an .878 save percentage in his subsequent nine appearances. Matt Villalta is slated to start Monday versus Edmonton, though Vejmelka could be back in goal Wednesday against the Maple Leafs if Connor Ingram (undisclosed) remains unavailable.
