Karel Vejmelka G | UTA
Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Guarding goal Tuesday
Vejmelka will guard the home goal versus the Oilers on Tuesday.
With a tough opponent in town, Vejmelka will get the nod for the third time in four games. He's won his last two outings, though he went 0-2-1 in the three contests before that. The Oilers are struggling with just 14 goals scored over their last six games, going 2-3-1 in that span.

Devils' Jake Allen: Set to start Tuesday
Allen will protect the road goal versus the Stars on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Allen will make his second start in a row after holding the Capitals to one goal on 27 shots in a 2-1 loss Friday. The 35-year-old has mostly served as backup to Jacob Markstrom this season -- this will be Allen's fourth outing in 13 games since the Olympic break. Even with the Stars missing some pieces, they're a tough challenge, making Allen a risky fantasy play on a busy schedule.
