Vejmelka was expected to start in Utah's final game before the Holiday Break, but was a late scratch, resulting in the team having to dress an EBUG to serve as the backup to Vitek Vanecek. The 29-year-old Vejmelka has a 2.70 GAA and .894 SV% in 29 games this season (16-10-2). It's unclear how long Vejmelka will be sidelined, but he will miss at least one more game before he is eligible to be activated from IR.
