Hockey Club's Karel Vejmelka: Light workload in win
Karel Vejmelka stopped 11 of 13 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canadiens.Vejmelka's workload Tuesday was his lowest in a start this season, and that's likely a good thing since the Canadiens were efficient with their chances. Utah did well to keep the game tied until Mikhail Sergachev sealed the win at 4:33 of overtime. This was Vejmelka's third win over his last seven appearances, and he hasn't allowed more than three goals in any outing in that span. The Czech goalie is up to 3-6-0 with a 2.25 GAA and a .922 save percentage over 11 games this season. Vejmelka figures to continue handling No. 1 duties as long as Connor Ingram (upper body) is out of action.

Hockey Club's Karel Vejmelka: Can't sweep weekend back-to-back
Karel Vejmelka stopped 32 of 35 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.Vejmelka turned in another solid performance, but a three-goal second period from Toronto handed him his fourth loss in his last seven outings (2-4-0). The 28-year-old has given up just 13 goals on 210 shots in that span, good for a .925 save percentage. Vejmelka will fill the No. 1 role while Connor Ingram (upper body) is on injured reserve, and the fact that Vejmelka played both games of a back-to-back speaks volumes as to how little confidence Utah has in Jaxson Stauber. Consider Vejmelka likely to start again Tuesday in Montreal. He has a 2-6-0 record despite a 2.30 GAA and a .926 save percentage through 10 outings this season.

Hockey Club's Karel Vejmelka: Can't buy win despite strong play
Karel Vejmelka made 30 saves in a 1-0 loss to Boston on Thursday.The loss wasn't on Vejmelka, who was sharp throughout and beaten just once on the power play. Utah is a fast team, but they looked slow against Boston which slowed the game down and clogged every lane. Utah has lost three straight games, and Vejmelka is 1-5-0 in six starts this season. His 2.37 GAA and .922 save percentage are excellent, though, so watch for his value to rise once his teammates start scoring a few more goals to support him.
