Vejmelka stopped 37 of 39 shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers. Vejmelka earned his fifth win in his last seven outings, though this was his first good appearance in four games. While it came against an Oilers' lineup sans Connor McDavid, it was still a positive for Vejmelka, who has had a down year. The 27-year-old netminder is at 13-19-2 with a 3.35 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 37 appearances. The Coyotes continue to alternate goalies, which means Connor Ingram will likely get the nod for Sunday's game in Calgary.

Vejmelka surrendered five goals on 25 shots in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Kraken. Vejmelka is stumbling to the finish line this season, having allowing 15 goals over his last three contests despite earning a win in that span. The 27-year-old also received no help Tuesday. Vejmelka dropped to 12-19-2 with a 3.40 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 36 appearances. Connor Ingram is likely to start Wednesday in Vancouver, while Vejmelka is lined up to face the Oilers in each of his last two starts (Friday and next Wednesday) should the Coyotes' goalie rotation continue to close out the campaign.

Vejmelka will patrol the road crease versus the Kraken on Tuesday, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports. Vejmelka wasn't great in his last start Friday versus Vegas, surrendering four goals on just 24 shots, but he still came away with a win thanks to fantastic goal support from his teammates. He'll try to secure his 13th victory of the season in a road matchup with a Seattle squad that's averaging only 2.69 goals at home this year, 28th in the NHL.

Vejmelka allowed four goals on 24 shots in Friday's 7-4 win over the Golden Knights. Vejmelka was down 4-1 after the second period, but he stayed in the game. The Coyotes then erupted for six goals in the third to give him his fourth win in five outings despite the poor raw numbers. Vejmelka is up to 12-18-2 with a 3.35 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 35 games this season. It's expected Connor Ingram will start Sunday in San Jose, which would put Vejmelka on track to start in a favorable road matchup in Seattle on Tuesday.

Vejmelka is slated to get the starting nod at home against Vegas on Friday, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports. Vejmelka has been sharing the crease with Connor Ingram lately -- Vej has posted a 3-2-0 record, 2.38 GAA and .921 save percentage in his last five outings. The split share should continue heading into the final seven games of the season, which means Vejmelka will likely see three more starts following Friday's appearance.
