DECEMBER 2, 2025 • NHL.COM

Drawing start Monday Vejmelka was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Max Miller of NHL.com reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against San Jose.

Impact Vejmelka was relatively solid in November despite a 4-5-2 record, as he posted a 2.73 GAA and .883 save percentage. The Sharks are scoring just 2.81 goals per game this season, which is the eighth-worst mark in the league. Vejmelka drew a home start against San Jose on Oct. 17, turning aside 18 of 21 shots (.857 save percentage) en route to the victory.

Unlucky loss Saturday Vejmelka allowed one goal on 19 shots in Saturday's 1-0 loss to the Blues.

Impact Neither team had much going in this contest, as both fell short of the 20-shot mark. The difference was Dylan Holloway's goal late in the second period, which was enough to stick Vejmelka with his third regulation loss in his last five outings. In that span, he's allowed just 12 goals on 125 shots. Overall, Vejmelka is now 10-7-2 with a 2.74 GAA and an .887 save percentage through 19 starts. The Mammoth's road trip continues with four games in the next week, with the next one being in San Jose on Monday. Vejmelka figures to start two or three of those contests, a stretch that also includes visits to Anaheim on Wednesday, Vancouver on Friday and Calgary on Saturday.

Slated to start Saturday Vejmelka is expected to start on the road against St. Louis on Saturday, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.

Impact Vejmelka has a 10-6-2 record, 2.84 GAA and .884 save percentage in 18 outings this year. He stopped 13 of 17 shots in a 4-3 loss to Montreal in his last start Wednesday. St. Louis ranks 28th in goals per game with 2.68.

Falters against Montreal Vejmelka allowed four goals on 17 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.

Impact Vejmelka faced a season-low in shots, but he ended up giving up at least four goals for the second time in four starts and the fifth time overall this year. The Canadiens' top line and power play did the bulk of the damage, and second-liner Ivan Demidov delivered the decisive goal in the third period. Vejmelka dropped to 10-6-2 with a 2.84 GAA and an .886 save percentage over 18 starts. The Mammoth begin a road trip Friday in Dallas, and that's the first half of a back-to-back that also sees them visit St. Louis on Saturday. Look for Vejmelka and Vitek Vanecek to split those starts.

Expected to start Wednesday Vejmelka is slated to start at home against Montreal on Wednesday, per Cole Bagley of KSL Sports.

Impact Vejmelka has won his past two starts while saving 53 of 56 shots (.946 save percentage). He's 10-5-2 with a 2.76 GAA and an .889 save percentage in 17 outings this season. Montreal lost five straight games (0-4-1) from Nov. 11-20, but the Canadiens might have turned a corner with their 5-2 victory over Toronto on Saturday.

NOVEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Strong performance in win Vejmelka allowed one goal on 34 shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Vejmelka picked up his second win in a row and avenged his 4-1 loss to Vegas from Thursday. He was sharp between the pipes, and a four-goal game from Logan Cooley was more than enough help. Vejmelka improved to 10-5-2 on the year with a 2.76 GAA and an .889 save percentage in 17 outings. He's mostly faced light workloads, facing 27 shots or less in 13 of those games, but he's 3-1-0 with a 2.50 GAA and a .926 save percentage over four contests in which he's seen 30-plus shots. The Mammoth host the Canadiens on Wednesday before heading out on a six-game road trip, a stretch that could prove challenging since Vejmelka has a 3.11 GAA and .872 save percentage in eight games away from the Delta Center.

First goalie off Monday Vejmelka was the first goalie to exit the ice Monday, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports, indicating he'll defend the cage at home versus Vegas.

Impact Vejmelka has posted middling results of late, going 2-1-2 with a 2.77 GAA in his last five outings. Despite the overtime losses, the 29-year-old netminder was able tos ecure his team at least a point in four of those contests, keeping the Mammoth in the hunt for a playoff spot. With one more win, Vejmelka will earn his 10th victory of the season, a threshold he's reached in each of his prior four NHL campaigns.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Collects win over Rangers Vejmelka stopped 20 of 22 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

Impact Vejmelka was 0-1-2 with 10 goals allowed over his last three games before snapping the skid in this win. He allowed goals to Vladislav Gavrikov and Artemi Panarin, but Nick DeSimone had the game-winning tally for the Mammoth in the third period. Vejmelka is up to 9-5-2 with a 2.87 GAA and an .884 save percentage over 16 starts. He's been a reliable source of starts and wins as Utah's No. 1 goalie, but his ratios are still a little underwhelming for fantasy. The Mammoth have a tough matchup ahead when they host the Golden Knights on Monday.

Looking to get back in win column Vejmelka will be between the home pipes Saturday against the Rangers, according to Catherine Bogart of Mammoth's official site.

Impact Vejmelka has lost three consecutive outings (two in overtime) and is 1-2-2 with a 3.56 GAA and an .852 save percentage across his last five starts. He'll have a relatively favorable matchup against a Rangers squad that ranks 30th in the league with 2.50 goals per game and is mired in a three-game losing streak. However, New York has been good on the road with a 9-3-1 record in 2025-26.

NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Allows four goals in loss Vejmelka stopped 29 of 33 shots on goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact After a clean first period, Vejmelka struggled in the second, where he allowed three of Vegas' four goals Thursday. With the loss, the 29-year-old goaltender has an 8-5-2 record with a 2.93 GAA and an .880 save percentage through 15 appearances this season. After a strong start to the season, he has begun to regress with a 0-1-2 record and an .875 save percentage across his last three starts. The Mammoth have proven that they can be competitive in the Central Division at times this season, but are currently riding a four-game losing streak. If they can flip the switch sooner rather than later, Vejmelka is set to benefit as the team's clear top option between the pipes. Depending on the matchup, Vejmelka is a solid spot start in standard fantasy leagues and should be rostered in deep leagues that feature two goalies due to his sheer volume of opportunities. His next chance to take the ice is Saturday on home ice against the Rangers.

Starting against Vegas Vejmelka was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Golden Knights.

Impact Vejmelka will start for the fourth time in Utah's last five games. Across his last three outings, he's gone 1-0-2 with a 2.62 GAA and .879 save percentage. The Golden Knights are tied for 13th in the league with 3.16 goals per game this season.

NOVEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Tagged with OT loss Monday Vejmelka stopped 23 of 26 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Impact Vejmelka has dropped back-to-back games in overtime, as it also happened in a 3-2 loss to the Islanders on Nov. 14. What's even more concerning is that Vejmelka has gone four straight starts with a save percentage below the .900 mark. Over that four-game slump, Vejmelka has gone 1-1-2 with a 3.45 GAA and an .843 save percentage. His starting role isn't in danger, but he might head to a backup role Tuesday on the second leg of a back-to-back set against the Sharks.

Set to start in Anaheim Vejmelka will patrol the road blue paint Monday against the Ducks, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Impact Vejmelka has alternated wins and losses across his last four starts, posting a 2-1-1 record, 2.97 GAA and .852 save percentage over that stretch. The Ducks have cooled off lately, losing three consecutive games while netting just four goals during their skid. Even so, Anaheim is tied for second in the NHL with 3.67 goals per game heading into Monday's action.

NOVEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Drops result in overtime Vejmelka stopped 18 of 21 shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders.

Impact Vejmelka couldn't make a 2-1 lead after one period stand. Jonathan Drouin got credit for the equalizer in the third period and Matthew Schaefer's one-timer from the top of the right faceoff circle in overtime sent Vejmelka to his fourth defeat in his last six outings. He has not faced more than 25 shots in any of those games, which has led to a shaky save percentage despite the Mammoth's effective defense. The 29-year-old netminder slipped to 8-4-1 on the year with a 2.84 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 13 starts. Vejmelka will likely be called on for a challenging road start in Anaheim on Monday, which is the first half of a back-to-back set.

Tending twine against Islanders Vejmelka will protect the home goal versus the Islanders on Friday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Vejmelka has gone 2-2-0 with 12 goals allowed on 85 shots over four games in November. The Islanders have been decent at filling the net, scoring 20 times over their last six games while going 4-1-1 in that span, which could make this a tough matchup for Vejmelka and the Mammoth.

NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Wins over Sabres again Vejmelka stopped 17 of 19 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.

Impact Vejmelka has just two wins over his last five outings, and both have been over the Sabres. The 29-year-old allowed the first two goals of the game to Isak Rosen, but the Mammoth were able to fire back with five straight tallies to take the win. Vejmelka is now 8-4-0 on the year with a 2.84 GAA and an .882 save percentage over 12 starts. He's faced more than 25 shots in just three of his outings as Utah's defense keeps traffic from getting to the net, but he hasn't really put in a dominant performance yet. The Mammoth's next game is Friday at home versus the Islanders.
