Earns second straight win Vejmelka stopped 12 of 16 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Penguins.

Impact Vejmelka has won back-to-back starts for the second time this month, and he's won four of his last six outings. The record doesn't tell the whole story, though. The 29-year-old netminder has allowed at least three goals in four straight starts, a span in which he's posted a 3.54 GAA and a subpar .877 save percentage. Vejmelka might remain a valuable source for wins, but his peripheral stats haven't been favorable for fantasy managers who continue to trust him -- even if he's firmly entrenched as the Mammoth's No. 1 goaltender.

Starting Sunday Vejmelka led the Mammoth out for warmups and will start Sunday's game against the Penguins, Catherine Bogart of the Mammoth's official site reports.

Impact Vejmelka will make his fourth straight start for the Mammoth. The 29-year-old has allowed three goals or more in all three prior outings and 10 goals total. Overall, he holds a 13-9-2 record, 2.73 GAA and an .895 save percentage on the season. On the other side is a Penguins team that has lost four games in a row but is still averaging three goals per game over that stretch.

Earns win over Kraken Vejmelka stopped 32 of 35 shots in Friday's 5-3 win over the Kraken.

Impact This was a close game most of the time, leaving Vejmelka little margin for error. He allowed two goals to Mason Marchment and one to Ben Meyers after the Mammoth had put away two empty-netters. This ended a two-game skid for Vejmelka, though he has allowed 10 goals on 97 shots over his last three outings. Overall, he's at a 13-9-2 record with a 2.73 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 25 outings. The Mammoth begin a three-game road trip in Pittsburgh on Sunday, and that trip ends with a back-to-back in Boston on Tuesday and Detroit on Wednesday. Expect Vejmelka to start two of Utah's next three games.

Guenther scores tiebreaking goal in 3rd period as Mammoth beat Kraken 5-3 to end three-game skid

Between pipes against Seattle Vejmelka was the first goalie off during Friday's morning skate, Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Kraken.

Impact Vejmelka has been relatively effective recently, posting a 2.33 GAA and .920 save percentage over his last six appearances, but he has a lackluster 2-3-0 record during that time. He'll have a favorable matchup Friday, as the Kraken are scoring just 2.50 goals per game this year, which is tied for the worst mark in the NHL.

Loses to Panthers Vejmelka stopped 32 of 36 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Vejmelka overcame giving up two goals in a span of 1:44 to Sam Bennett in the second period. He was steady in goal for most of the third, but Anton Lundell's tally in the final minute decided the contest. This was Vejmelka's second straight loss, and he's given up seven goals on 62 shots in that span. For the season, the 29-year-old netminder is at a 12-9-2 record with a 2.72 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 24 starts. The Mammoth host the low-scoring Kraken on Friday.

In goal Wednesday Vejmelka will start in goal at home versus the Panthers on Wednesday, Catherine Bogart of the Mammoth's official site reports.

Impact Vejmelka is 2-2-0 with eight goals allowed over his last five appearances. The Panthers have scored 18 goals over their last six games, though they've won just two of them. Given Vejmelka's stingy play lately, he'll likely continue to be a strong fantasy goalie.

Allows three goals in loss Vejmelka stopped 23 shots on 26 save attempts in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Kings.

Impact Despite tending a clean second period to give the Mammoth a chance to come back in Monday's contest, Vejmelka would allow the game-winning goal to Anze Kopitar less than four minutes into the third. After Monday's loss, Vejmelka now has a 12-8-2 record with a 2.66 GAA and an .894 save percentage through 23 outings this season. The 29-year-old netminder had won each of his last two contests prior to Monday's loss, which is an encouraging sign that he could bounce back soon. He's tied for fourth in wins among the league's goaltenders and is set to see a bulk of the opportunities for Utah moving forward. Vejmelka is a solid fantasy option in two-goalie formats. His next chance to guard the crease is Wednesday against the Panthers.

First goalie off Monday Vejmelka was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Kings.

Impact Vejmelka has been solid over his last two starts, going 2-0-0 with a 0.50 GAA and .983 save percentage. He'll have a favorable matchup against the Kings, who are scoring just 2.68 goals per game this year, which is the sixth-worst mark in the NHL.

Stays sharp in win Vejmelka stopped 31 of 32 shots in Friday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact Vejmelka has allowed just one goal on 59 shots over his last two outings. He lost his bid for a second straight shutout when Arshdeep Bains scored at 4:17 of the third period. Vejmelka is now 12-7-2 with a 2.64 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 22 starts this season. Vitek Vanecek is likely to get the nod for Saturday's road game versus the Flames, but Vejmelka should be between the pipes Monday at home against the Kings.

Tending twine in Vancouver Vejmelka will start in goal on the road in Friday's game versus the Canucks.

Impact Vejmelka will get the nod after posting a 27-save shutout over the high-scoring Ducks on Wednesday. This is the first half of a back-to-back, which makes it likely Vitek Vanecek will get the nod Saturday versus the Flames. Vejmelka faces a Canucks team that has scored 13 goals over the last six games, winning just one of them.

Secures first shutout of season Vejmelka posted a 27-save shutout in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact Vejmelka was held winless over his previous three outings, so this was a good bounce-back effort. The 29-year-old got plenty of support from a roster that saw a bit of rotation following Monday's 6-3 loss to the Sharks. Vejmelka's first shutout of the season moved him to 11-7-2 with a 2.73 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 21 starts. He'll likely start one of the next two games -- either Friday in Vancouver or Saturday in Calgary -- while Vitek Vanecek can be penciled in for the other game. Both are good matchups for Vejmelka to start rebuilding some positive momentum.

Peterka has 2 goals and 2 assists, Vejmelka gets first shutout of season as Mammoth beat Ducks 7-0

DECEMBER 4, 2025 • Associated Press

Slated to start Wednesday Vejmelka is expected to start on the road against Anaheim on Wednesday, per Utah radio broadcaster Mike Folta.

Impact Vejmelka will try to get back into the win column after going 0-2-0 while allowing eight goals on 45 shots (.822 save percentage) across his past three appearances. He's 10-7-2 with a 2.87 GAA and an .882 save percentage in 20 outings this season. Anaheim ranks second in goals per game with 3.62.

DECEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles against Sharks Vejmelka stopped six of nine shots before he was pulled from Monday's 6-3 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Vejmelka was spared the loss since the Mammoth were able to cover the three goals he allowed, but this was an ugly performance. The 29-year-old has allowed three-plus goals in three of his last six appearances. He remains at 10-7-2 on the year, but his GAA is up to 2.87 while his save percentage slipped to .882 after the poor outing. Vitek Vanecek didn't exactly impress in relief, stopping 18 of 21 shots, but Vejmelka's recent inconsistency could open the door for more of a timeshare in the crease. The Mammoth's road trip continues in Anaheim on Wednesday.
