Exits ice first Vejmelka was the first goalie off the ice Wednesday, Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus the Sabres.

Impact Vejmelka has lost three of his last four outings while posting a 3.78 GAA -- though his lone victory over the stretch was against Buffalo. The 29-year-old netminder saw the bulk of the workload to open the year, featuring in 10 of the opening 13 contests. He has been splitting the workload of late with Vitek Vanecek and will play for just the second time in the Mammoth's last four games.

Gives up six goals Vejmelka stopped 17 of 23 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Montreal.

The fact that Vejmelka has posted a save percentage of .880 or lower in three of his last four starts makes it hard for fantasy managers to trust him on a steady basis.

OCTOBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Mixed results in win Vejmelka saved 16 out of 20 shots in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Blues.

Impact Despite only saving four out of every five shots he saw, Vejmelka was able to coast to a win fueled by Utah's offense scoring seven times. With the win, Vejmelka is up to a 5-1-0 record with a 2.49 GAA and a .896 save percentage in six appearances. Thursday's contest marked the 29-year-old goaltender's fifth consecutive win, but also his campaign high in goals allowed and season low in saves. Regardless, the Mammoth are trending toward playoff contention this season, and if Vejmelka continues to outduel opposing netminders, he could be well on his way to another career year in fantasy. He is a strong goaltending option in all formats and should be rostered in most deep leagues.
