Vejmelka stopped 31 of 37 shots in Saturday's 7-3 loss to Carolina, with the Hurricanes' sixth goal going into an empty net.
The 28-year-old netminder kept things close at 1-1 in the first period despite being outshot 16-8, but Carolina blew the game open with four goals on 12 shots in the second frame. Vejmelka heads into the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, having gone 2-4-1 over his last seven starts with a shaky .875 save percentage while working primarily in a timeshare with Connor Ingram.
