Karel Vejmelka

Karel Vejmelka struggled in the crease for the Mammoth Tuesday night, allowing five goals on 23 shots faced in a 6-3 loss to the Oilers.

Vejmelka has struggled to keep the puck out of the back of the net of late, allowing three or more goals in four of his last five starts (4-1-0) for the Mammoth. The 29-year-old will look to return to his reliable form while providing a stable netminding option while playing behind a productive Utah lineup as the season continues.

Karel Vejmelka stopped 14 of 15 shots in Sunday’s 2-1 victory over the Canucks. The only goal allowed came on a power-play tally by Jake DeBrusk early in the second period.

Vejmelka has won three of his last four outings, limiting opponents to a single goal in two of those contests. While he’s allowed 11 goals over that stretch, six of them came in one rough performance, indicating more consistency in his recent play. The 28-year-old is now 14-15-4 on the season with a 2.52 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 35 appearances. Utah has been rotating between Vejmelka and Connor Ingram, and that trend should continue unless one of them seizes the starting job outright. Fantasy managers should monitor the goaltending situation heading into Tuesday’s home matchup against Chicago.

Vejmelka entered in relief and stopped 30 of 32 shots (.938 save percentage), finishing the night with 52:22 in net. He allowed no goals at even strength after taking over, steering Utah to a 5-4 shootout victory.

Vejmelka’s solid performance rescued Utah and bolstered his case for more consistent starts. While the defense in front of him can be hit-or-miss, he often delivers strong save totals. Managers looking for a volume goalie or a reliable backup should keep an eye on his workload moving forward.

Vejmelka allowed six goals on 37 shots for an .838 save percentage in the lopsided defeat. Despite making 31 saves, he couldn’t contain Carolina’s attack, which tallied seven total goals (one likely empty-net).

Though Vejmelka has had his share of strong starts, his inconsistency can hurt fantasy lineups. He’s best deployed as a streaming option in favorable matchups rather than a surefire nightly starter, given Utah’s defensive instability.

Karel Vejmelka stopped 18 of 20 shots in Utah’s 3-2 overtime win against Philadelphia on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Vejmelka allowed two early goals but held firm through the third period and overtime, helping Utah secure the win. He now sits at 12-14-4 with a 2.46 GAA and a .910 save percentage. The 28-year-old continues to split time evenly with Connor Ingram, with each netminder earning two wins in their last six starts. Unless one of them strings together multiple strong performances, this remains a true timeshare, making Vejmelka a streaming option in fantasy leagues. Expect him to see around two starts per week, with his next likely opportunity coming Saturday against Carolina.
