Karel Vejmelka Posts 15-Save Shutout in Season Opener

Utah Mammoth goaltender Karel Vejmelka started the 2026-27 campaign with a 15-save shutout in Thursday's 6-0 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks. The Mammoth dominated on home ice, and Vejmelka played a key part in it. Vejmelka has registered over 60 wins across the last two seasons, but he still has room for improvement. With a solid team around him, the Czech netminder has no reason he can't pick up shutouts at a higher rate than he currently does. The 2025-26 campaign was only his second season with more than one shutout.

Karel Vejmelka Saves Utah With Huge Effort Friday

Utah Mammoth goaltender Karel Vejmelka was peppered on Friday night with a lot of shots from the Vegas Golden Knights, but the Mammoth goaltender turned aside 30 shots in the 4-2 victory. Vejmelka held Vegas to two goals on the road in Game 2. However, his performance in Game 3 may have been the highlight of Friday night. Vejmelka made quite a few sensational saves and kept Vegas from making a comeback. Utah only managed 12 shots on goal as the ice tilted toward the Czech goalie. There is a reason why the workhorse, who started 64 games (38 wins), continues to be relied on so heavily. He makes the extra save, including a critical one on Tomas Hertl late to preserve the two-goal lead.

Karel Vejmelka Makes Playoff Debut Sunday

Utah Mammoth goaltender Karel Vejmelka will start on Sunday in Game 1 against the Vegas Golden Knights, Brogan Houston of the Deseret News reports. This will be Vejmelka's first career game in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. He enters the postseason after a good regular-season campaign. Vejmelka had the second-most wins among all goalies, finishing with a 38-20-3 record. In addition, he registered a 2.75 goals-against average, a .897 save percentage, and two shutouts. Vejmelka's last shutout came against the Golden Knights on March 19 in a 4-0 win. He went 2-1-0 in this matchup during the regular season, allowing only five goals on 95 SOG.

Karel Vejmelka Picks Up Win No. 20

Utah Mammoth goaltender Karel Vejmelka saved 26 of 28 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the St. Louis Blues, improving to 20-11-2 for the season. Impressively, he became the first goalie this season to reach 20 wins. His recent form has been a major factor in Vejmelka reaching that milestone first, as he has gone 8-2-0 since Dec. 12. In 2026, Vejmelka has allowed only 11 goals across five starts. The 29-year-old has posted a 2.63 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage for the season, picking up one shutout. Vejmelka's fantasy stock is on the rise and could improve further in upcoming games against Eastern Conference strugglers Columbus and Toronto.

Karel Vejmelka Moved to Injured Reserve

Utah Mammoth goaltender Karel Vejmelka (upper body) was moved to Injured Reserve and will remain out on Monday against the Nashville Predators. The move is retroactive to Dec. 23, so Vejmelka will be eligible to return to the lineup for Utah's next game on Thursday against the New York Islanders. This season, Vejmelka has registered a lowly .896 save percentage. Yet, he carries a solid 16-10-2 record with a 2.70 goals-against average. Vitek Vanecek, who is 2-8-1 for the year, will start in Monday's favorable matchup against the 24th-ranked offense in the league.

Karel Vejmelka Battling Upper-Body Injury

Utah Mammoth goaltender Karel Vejmelka (upper body) missed a scheduled start on Tuesday night against the Colorado Avalanche. He was sidelined by an upper-body injury, prompting the team to sign Colten McIntyre to an amateur tryout agreement as a backup to Vitek Vanecek for the night. Vanecek had a strong performance, stopping 25 of 26 shots, but Utah still lost to the dominant Avalanche 1-0. The Mammoth have the rest of the week off, giving Vejmelka time to recover. Whether that will be sufficient for the Czech goaltender to avoid missing additional action remains uncertain. In 29 starts this season, Vejmelka has posted a 16-10-2 record, a 2.70 goals-against average, a .896 save percentage, and one shutout.

Karel Vejmelka Records Impressive Shutout

Utah Mammoth goaltender Karel Vejmelka finished Wednesday's 7-0 victory over the Anaheim Ducks with a 27-save shutout. He became only the second goaltender in the league this season to shut out the Ducks, who average the third-most goals (3.48). Vejmelka, who registered his first shutout of the season, rebounded superbly after a rough outing against the San Jose Sharks on Monday, where he was pulled in the first period. The Mammoth's No. 1 now holds an 11-7-2 record for the season. Vejmelka boasts a solid 2.73 goals-against average, but he has managed only a .891 save percentage, which is one of the worst marks among regular starters in 2025-26.

Karel Vejmelka Makes 17th Consecutive Start Sunday

Utah Hockey Club goaltender Karel Vejmelka will be trusted in the crease for a 17th straight game on Sunday versus the Chicago Blackhawks. The Czech netminder has worked tirelessly between the sticks since the 4 Nations break, with Connor Ingram (personal) unavailable. Recently, he has hit a wall, dropping three decisions in a row, including an ugly 8-0 trashing by the Tampa Bay Lightning. Vejmelka holds a 21-20-7 record for the season, boasting a 2.60 goals-against average with a .903 save percentage and one shutout. Utah's No. 1 has not lost four consecutive starts since February 2024 and is in a good spot to end his recent slump, as Chicago has gone 1-8-1 over its last 10 games.

Karel Vejmelka Earns Victory On Sunday

Utah Hockey Club goaltender Karel Vejmelka stopped 18 of the 19 shots he faced en route to defeating the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday evening. The shot remained quite even through most of the contest, but Vejmelka was able to step up when called on. His lone mistake came in the second frame when Vancouver defenseman Quinn Hughes scored on the power play. This was a nice bounce-back showing for Vejmelka, as he allowed three goals on just 21 shots during his previous game. Over his previous six contests, the 28-year-old has struggled to find consistency as he has held a 3-1-2 record with a 2.45 GAA and a .901 save percentage. Fantasy managers should expect Vejmelka to remain in the starting crease in their next contest on Tuesday evening against a potent Edmonton offense.

Karel Vejmelka Makes Ninth Consecutive Start Friday

Utah Hockey Club goaltender Karel Vejmelka will make his ninth consecutive start in Friday's clash against the Seattle Kraken. He has posted a 5-1-2 record since becoming ever-present in the crease. Over the course of the season, Vejmelka has gone 18-16-6 with one shutout. He has allowed 2.47 goals while posting a .909 save percentage. Although his recent success will boost Vejmelka's confidence, he had a difficult time when Seattle and Utah met for the first time this season, coughing up four goals on 32 shots in a 5-2 defeat on Dec. 30.

Karel Vejmelka Facing Anaheim On Wednesday

Utah Hockey Club goaltender Karel Vejmelka will get the starting nod on Wednesday evening against the Anaheim Ducks. Vejmelka will be making his eighth-straight start. During this seven-game stretch, the 28-year-old has held a 4-1-2 record with a strong 2.11 GAA and a .914 save percentage. Before this stretch, the 28-year-old has posted an underwhelming 3.25 GAA with a .885 save percentage. Through 41 total contests this season, Vejmelka has posted a 17-16 record with a .909 save percentage, 2.49 GAA and one shutout. Fantasy managers should consider Vejmelka as a solid option in deeper formats this evening as the Ducks have struggled to generate scoring opportunities consistently. DFS players should also consider starting Vejmelka as he should be in a good position to pick up a victory.

Karel Vejmelka Snaps Skid On Friday Night

Utah Hockey Club goaltender Karel Vejmelka stopped 18 of the 19 shots he faced en route to defeating the San Jose Sharks. Vejmelka's lone blemish came in the opening frame on a wrist shot from Fabian Zetterlund. Vejmelka was able to shut the door for the remainder of the evening. This was a nice bounce-back outing for the 28-year-old as he carried a 1-4-1 record over his past six games into Friday's contest. During this span, he allowed three or more goals in four of them and never allowed one or less. Before this cold stretch, he was riding a four-game win streak. Vejmelka will look to start a new winning streak in his next start, which will likely be Tuesday evening against the Canadiens, as Connor Ingram will likely get the nod in the second half of a back-to-back on Saturday night.

Karel Vejmelka Takes On Kraken Monday

Utah Hockey Club goaltender Karel Vejmelka will be the man between the pipes for the team on Monday against Seattle. He gets the nod for the first leg of a back-to-back, with Jaxson Stauber likely working on Tuesday against Edmonton in the final game of 2024. Vejmelka has been in good form throughout the campaign but enters Monday's matchup with a losing streak. The Czech netminder has suffered two straight defeats despite allowing only five total goals in meetings with Dallas and Colorado. The losses have dropped Vejmelka's record to 8-9-2. However, he has the fifth-lowest goals-against average in the league at 2.32 and the fourth-best save percentage at .918. The Kraken sit among the league's lowest-scoring teams, so Vejmelka appears to be in a good spot to return to winning ways on Monday night.

Karel Vejmelka Gets Another Start On Sunday

Utah Hockey Club goaltender Karel Vejmelka will remain in the crease for Sunday's battle against Toronto. He'll be in action for a second consecutive day following a 27-save effort in Saturday's 6-1 win over Pittsburgh. Vejmelka picks up an extra shift due to Connor Ingram's (upper body) absence. There have been only two wins in seven starts for Vejmelka this season, but his other numbers look impressive, with the Czech netminder logging a 2.21 goals-against average and a .927 save percentage. The bookmakers don't provide a lot of hope for Utah on Sunday, as the visitors are seen as +160 underdogs for the matchup, but Vejmelka faces a team that's lost several quality forwards to injury, giving him a better chance to grab the victory.

Karel Vejmelka To Start Friday Versus Kraken

Arizona Coyotes goaltender Karel Vejmelka is getting the starting nod for Friday's home game against the visiting Seattle Kraken. The 27-year-old has been alternating starts with Connor Ingram of late but he has been the better goaltender over his last handful of starts after Ingram had overtaken the No. 1 job earlier in the season. Vejmelka has allowed two goals or fewer in three of his last four starts and has posted a .933 save percentage in that time. His overall numbers still leave plenty to be desired as he sports a 3.37 goals-against average and an .897 Sv% in 31 games (27 starts) this season but is a decent streaming option against a Seattle team that ranks 29th in overall offense and is playing their second game in as many nights.

Karel Vejmelka To Start Wednesday Versus Maple Leafs

Arizona Coyotes goaltender Karel Vejmelka is the starting netminder for Wednesday's game against the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs. While Connor Ingram has stepped up and out-played Vejmelka this season, it's the latter's work against the Leafs in his career that most likely earned him the starting nod on Wednesday. The 27-year-old owns a 3-0-0 record with a 2.00 goals-against average and a .943 save percentage across three appearances in his career against Toronto. However, this season has once again largely been a struggle as he enters Wednesday's contest sporting a 3.51 GAA and .893 Sv% across 25 appearances on the season, going 6-14-2 in that time. He last appeared on Sunday in a 4-3 loss to the Colorado Avalanche.

Karel Vejmelka Shuts Out The Blues

Arizona Coyotes goaltender Karel Vejmelka was unbeatable for the Blues on Thursday, skating away with his third shutout of the season. St. Louis totaled 27 shots on goal in the first two periods and had 33 efforts in total, but Vejmelka kicked them all away and backstopped the team to a 5-0 victory. After dropping eight games in a row, the Czech netminder has now tallied back-to-back wins with only one goal allowed. Vejmelka has performed well on a struggling team, registering a 13-17-4 record with a 3.19 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage. He will try to get to a three-game winning streak for only the second time this season Saturday against Anaheim.

Karel Vejmelka Hopes To End A Six-Game Losing Run

Arizona Coyotes goaltender Karel Vejmelka will try to stop a six-game losing run Sunday against Winnipeg. He is getting his 31st start of the campaign, heading into the clash with an 11-15-4 record. Vejmelka struggles to produce wins for fantasy managers, but he has been doing a decent job behind a bad team with a .902 save percentage and two shutouts. He will be facing a team that averages 3.37 goals per game, but Vejmelka has previously done very well against the Jets, recording a 1.73 goals-against average with a .959 save percentage and one shutout in four career outings.

Karel Vejmelka Between The Pipes Monday Against Montreal

Arizona Coyotes goalie Karel Vejmelka will start Monday against Montreal. Vejmelka is 3-2-0 in his last five outings, where he allowed 17 goals on 181 opponents' shots on goal. He's played in 21 games and has a 9-8-3 record, a 3.11 goals-against-average, and a .911 save percentage. Arizona has yet to play Montreal this season. The Canadiens have lost three in a row and have a 3-6-1 record in their last ten contests.

Karel Vejmelka Shines With A Shutout Versus Carolina

Arizona Coyotes goaltender Karel Vejmelka frustrated Carolina with 36 saves Wednesday and collected his second shutout of the campaign in a 4-0 road victory. Both of his shutouts have come in his last four starts, so the 26-year-old netminder has found some superb form lately. Vejmelka isn't a great goalie option for fantasy managers, with the team being one of the worst in the league, but he has done pretty well this season, posting a 6-5-1 record with a 2.98 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage.
