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.
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.
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.
Arizona Coyotes goaltender Karel Vejmelka registered his first shutout of the season Thursday versus the Islanders, backstopping his team to a 2-0 win. He pushed away 24 shots, and Travis Boyd and Jack McBain took care of the scoring in the third period. Vejmelka now suddenly finds himself on a three-game winning streak, and he has dropped only one of his last five decisions to improve to 5-3-1 for the year. There are a lot of bizarre things happening in the NHL this season, and Arizona having a nice run and beating some very strong teams is one of them. Watch them take down the 11-3-0 Devils now on Saturday. Vejmelka will head into the contest holding a 3.06 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage.
Karel Vejmelka Will Mind The Crease Thursday For Arizona
Arizona Coyotes netminder Karel Vejmelka will start Thursday against the current best team in the NHL, the Colorado Avalanche. Vejmelka has an awful record at 7-21-1. In fairness to him, though, he plays behind the worst team in the league. He has one win in his last five starts. The one win came against the lowly Seattle Kraken back on February 9th. There is no reason to start Vejmelk in fantasy Thursday against the Avalanche unless there are no other options.
Karel Vejmelka Is In Starter's Cage For Arizona Saturday
Arizona goaltender Karel Vejmelka starts for the Arizona Coyotes against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday night. The good news is that Vejmelka faces a Flyers team that just played in Vegas on Friday. The bad news is that the goaltender is trying to pick up the pieces from his last start. Vejmelka gave up seven goals on 32 shots in a 7-1 rout at the hands of the Vegas Golden Knights. This was after stopping 83 of 84 shots in two wins and Vejmelka's first ever NHL shutout. It is a prime chance for the Czech goalie to bounce back and earn his third win of the season.
Arizona Coyotes goaltender Karel Vejmelka gets a home start against the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday night. The Czechoslovakian goalie has not had it easy winning just twice in 12 decisions. However, Vejmelka has a solid 2.80 goals-against average along with a .916 save percentage. He will be going for his third straight win and Vejmelka is on a bit of a hot streak. He has stopped 83 of his last 84 stops. The goaltender will be going for his first win on home ice as he is 0-3 while giving up 16 goals on just 91 shots faced.
Arizona Coyotes goaltender Karel Vejmelka will hunt for his third consecutive win on Friday against the Golden Knights. The 25-year-old started the week with a superb 46-save shutout against Winnipeg, and he's allowed just one goal on 84 shots across his last two starts. Vejmelka's impressive form has helped him to improve to 2-9-1 for the season, and he's boasting a 2.80 goals-against average with a .916 save percentage. The Golden Knights are massive favorites for the clash, but Arizona has done pretty well lately and Vejmelka is hot, so there is potential for a shock result here. The home team has won nine of the last 11 matches in the series.
Arizona Coyotes goaltender Karel Vejmelka had a huge night on Monday against the Jets, recording his first career shutout with 46 saves. Arizona got outshot 46-15 but Vejmelka's magnificent performance helped them to a 1-0 victory. The 25-year-old has now won back-to-back starts after going 0-9-1 in his first 10 decisions this season. Scott Wedgewood, who is 3-5-2 for the season, has gotten most of the starts in recent weeks, but Vejmelka surely improved his stock here. He took his goals-against average to 2.80 and now carries a .916 save percentage.
Karel Vejmelka Wins First Game Of NHL Career Sunday
Arizona Coyotes goaltender Karel Vejmelka had several amazing performances in defeat for the Coyotes this season. Against the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday, Vejmelka finally felt what it was like to win on Sunday. He stopped 37 of 38 shots including all eight shots via Los Angeles' special teams. Vejmelka turned aside more than a half-dozen high-danger scoring chances in the third period and overtime alone. The win improved the goalie's record to 1-9-1 on the season.
Karel Vejmelka Allows Three Goals in Saturday Night Loss
Karel Vejmelka did not have the worst night but did not have the best one either. Vejmelka stopped 21 of 24 shots on Saturday night against the New York Islanders. Again, the Arizona Coyotes' goaltender received little or no support. It will be interesting what Arizona does going forward with their goaltending situation. One thing is clear. Carter Hutton is not the answer that Karel Vejmelka is. Arizona plays better in front of Vejmelka. That cannot be overlooked.
Karel Vejmelka to Start for Arizona Coyotes Saturday Night
The Arizona Coyotes will look to Karel Vejmelka to get their first win on the season against the New York Islanders. Vejmelka has made three appearances in October. He has a 0-1-1 record with a 2.82 goals-against-average and .908 save percentage. Vejmelka nearly did get that win in his debut start versus the Buffalo Sabres. The Czech goaltender faces an Islanders team looking to start stringing some victories together. Meanwhile, Arizona is trying to find something to believe in at this point.
Arizona Coyotes goaltender Karel Vejmelka will guard the cage in Thursday's home game against Edmonton. It's a second career start for the 25-year-old Czech netminder, who started his journey in the NHL with a 2-1 shootout loss against Buffalo last week. He also featured in Monday's 7-4 loss against St. Louis after Carter Hutton had taken another beating. The 35-year-old carries a miserable 8.75 goals-against average with a .702 save percentage for the season, so Vejmelka could very well run away with the starter's job. Beating Connor McDavid's squad would be a huge step towards it.
