Karel Vejmelka - Page 8 - NHL News & Rumors

First goalie off Thursday Vejmelka was the first goalie to leave the ice Thursday, Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports reports, indicating he'll guard the cage at home versus Dallas.

Impact Vejmelka is riding a four-game winning streak during which he has posted a 1.49 GAA and .943 save percentage. The 29-year-old netminder currently leads the NHL with 21 wins, and his 35 starts trail only Nashville's Juuse Saros (36). At this rate, Vejmelka should be a lock for the 30-win threshold and should even push for 40. If he continues to rack up wins, Vejmelka could find himself receiving a Vezina Trophy nomination at the end of the year.

Cruises to win Vejmelka stopped 19 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Calle Jarnkrok scored at 3:30 of the third period to spoil Vejmelka's shutout bid, but that was the only blemish on his performance. Vejmelka has won four outings in a row and six of his last seven. He's up to 21-11-2 with a 2.58 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 35 appearances this season. He's on a roll, and he'd get a look at a struggling Stars team should he get the nod Thursday at home.

Impact Vejmelka has been playing well over the last month, winning three straight games and eight of his last 10. The 29-year-old has posted a 2.40 GAA and a .910 save percentage during that stretch. He got the night off Sunday against Columbus, so he should be fresh against a Maple Leafs club that is on the second half of a back-to-back. Toronto defeated Colorado 4-3 in overtime Monday and has won four consecutive games.

First to 20 wins this season Vejmelka stopped 26 of 28 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

Impact Vejmelka is the first goalie to reach the 20-win mark this season. He's on a bit of a roll with five wins over his last six outings, allowing just 14 goals on 163 shots in that span. The 29-year-old netminder is at 20-11-2 with a 2.63 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 34 appearances. His workload is a plus for fantasy managers, as Vitek Vanecek hasn't played well enough for Vejmelka to get much rest yet. The Mammoth's next game is Sunday versus the Blue Jackets.

Leading league in wins Vejmelka stopped 32 of 33 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Senators.

Impact Vejmelka limited the damage to a Ridly Greig tally late in the first period. This was Vejmelka's third win in his last four outings, a span in which he's given up nine goals on 109 shots. The 29-year-old is now leading the NHL in wins with 19, one ahead of Colorado's Scott Wedgewood, though Vejmelka has played in six more games. The Utah netminder has added a 2.65 GAA and .897 save percentage over 33 appearances. The Mammoth are back in action Friday versus the Blues.

Sharp in Monday's OT win Vejmelka made 22 saves in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.

Impact New York got two pucks past him on power plays in the second period, but otherwise Vejmelka had an answer for everything the home side fired at him. The 29-year-old netminder has been getting just enough offensive support over the last few weeks, going 6-2-0 in his last eight starts with a 2.63 GAA and .898 save percentage.

Burned by Devils Vejmelka turned aside 26 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to New Jersey.

Impact The Mammoth came out flat at both ends of the ice in the afternoon road contest, and Vejmelka didn't have much chance on any of the first three pucks that beat him -- although he might want another crack at Dougie Hamilton's sharp-angle strike late in the second period. It's only Vejmelka's second loss in his last seven starts, and on the season he's 17-11-2 with a 2.69 GAA and .895 save percentage.
