Karel Vejmelka News

Vejmelka hasn't been overly impressive this season, but sports a solid 6-3-0 record and will continue to be leaned on by the Utah Mammoth. The 30-year-old Czech goalie saved 29 of 32 shots (.906 SV%) in his most recent game, a 5-4 overtime win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. He has a 3.13 GAA and .313 SV% in 10 appearances. Utah enters Tuesday's contest as -113 home favourites against a Minnesota Wild team that has outscored opponents 9-3 in their last two games (2-0-0).

Utah enters Tuesday's contest as -113 home favourites against a Minnesota Wild team that has outscored opponents 9-3 in their last two games (2-0-0).

Vejmelka hasn't been outstanding this season, but his 4-1-0 record has helped Utah get off to a strong start. The 30-year-old Czech goalie allowed four goals on 26 shots (.846 SV%) in his most recent game, but received enough goal support to salvage a 5-4 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. He has a 2.46 GAA and .895 SV% this season. The Mammoth enter Thursday's contest as slight -112 road favourites against the high-flying Edmonton Oilers, who average 4.8 goals per game through six games this season (5-0-1).

With unproven rookie Sebastian Cossa as his backup, Vejmelka is likely due for a heavy workload again this season and will be between the pipes for the fifth time in seven games. The 30-year-old Vejmelka was excellent in his previous outing, saving 23 of 24 shots (.958 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres. He has a 2.13 GAA and .907 SV% in five appearances this season (3-1-0). Utah enters Tuesday's contest as -156 home favourites against a rolling Toronto Maple Leafs team that has scored 14 goals in their last three games (2-0-1).

Vejmelka played a career-high 64 games last season and could be due for another busy season, with rookie Sebastian Cossa as his backup. The 30-year-old Vejmelka was perfect in his opening game, saving all 15 shots he faced in a 6-0 win over the Chicago Blackhawks, but struggled in his follow-up outing, allowing three goals on 18 shots (.857 SV%) in a 4-2 loss to the New York Rangers. The Mammoth enter Tuesday as slight +111 road underdogs against a New Jersey Devils team coming off an embarrassing 6-0 loss to the New York Islanders.

Vejmelka will look to keep Utah's early season magic going on Sunday as the Mammoth head to New York for a battle of two win teams. Vejmelka is coming off a perfect performance in Utah's opener, stopping all 15 shots he faced during a 6-0 shutout win over Chicago. He draws a much tougher task in the New York Rangers on home ice on Sunday, who have outscored opponents 7-4 in the early stages of the season.

Vejmelka was a busy goalie last season, and he should continue that role in 2026-27, as his backup is Sebastian Cossa, who, while he has a promising future, has only one career NHL appearance. The 30-year-old Vejmelka led the Mammoth to the playoffs last season, appearing in 64 games (38-20-3), posting a 2.75 GAA and .896 SV%. The Mammoth enter their season opener on Thursday as sizeable -219 home favourites against a Chicago Blackhawks team that lost 5-2 on Tuesday to the Vegas Golden Knights.

The Mammoth have squandered third-period leads multiple times in their opening-round series against the Vegas Golden Knights, and find themselves on the brink of elimination, down 3-2 heading into Game Six. Vejemelka's play in his last two games has been concerning, losing both outings in overtime and allowing a combined 10 goals on 74 shots (.865 SV%), more than he has allowed in any two-game stretch during the regular season. The Mammoth enter a must-win Game Six on Friday as slight -101 home underdogs.

Within a few minutes of the second period in Game Four, Vejmelka had already allowed three goals, down 3-0, but Utah stormed back, eventually sending the game into overtime. That said, the 29-year-old Vejmelka allowed the game-winning goal late in the first overtime frame, one of five goals allowed on 36 shots (861 SV%) in the 5-4 loss. Still, the Czech goalie has been mostly serviceable in his introduction to playoff hockey, posting a 2.80 GAA and .899 SV% through four games (2-2). The Mammoth hope to take a 3-2 series lead over the Vegas Golden Knights, entering Game Five as +141 road underdogs.
