Hockey Club's Karel Vejmelka: Allows five goals in loss
Karel Vejmelka allowed five goals on 26 shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.Vejmelka finally got to see Utah score while he was on the ice -- the team had not given him any support over his first two appearances. Still, the Avalanche's resurgent offense was far stronger, as they went 2-for-3 on the power play. Utah was electric early in the season, but it'll be tough for the goalies to keep the team competitive if the offense continues to be cold. Utah's next game is a visit to Los Angeles on Saturday, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Connor Ingram start that one.

Hockey Club's Karel Vejmelka: Perfect in relief Tuesday
Karel Vejmelka stopped all 14 shots he faced in relief of Connor Ingram in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Senators.Ingram was pulled after one period, and Vejmelka took over to finish the contest without the deficit getting any worse. The 28-year-old Vejmelka has made just two appearances this season, stopping 43 of 46 shots, but Utah has yet to score when he's been between the pipes. Vejmelka remains in the backup role, but with Ingram struggling at times, head coach Andre Tourigny could opt to even out the workload between his goalies.

Utah doesn't have a back-to-back on the schedule until late November, so it may be difficult for fantasy managers to pinpoint exactly when Vejmelka might make future starts, but he seems firmly cemented behind Ingram at this point as the No. 2 option for Utah.

Karel Vejmelka allowed five goals on 32 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 preseason loss to the Ducks.Vejmelka has had a mediocre preseason, allowing 10 goals on 81 shots over three appearances. The 28-year-old's poor exhibition performances may give Connor Ingram the edge for playing time once the regular season begins.
