Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Beaten twice Monday
Vejmelka stopped 27 of 29 shots in Monday's 2-0 loss to the Lightning.
Vejmelka saw the end of his eighth-game winning streak Monday, but he wasn't bad by any means -- he just didn't have enough support from the offense in a 2-0 loss. Despite the loss, Vejmelka has been playing well over the last few weeks and has posted a save percentage of at least .900 in eight of his last 11 contests, a stretch in which he's gone 9-2-0 with a 2.18 GAA and a .918 save percentage on 292 shots faced.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Drawing start in Tampa Bay
Vejmelka will occupy the road crease against the Lightning on Monday.
Vejmelka is currently in peak form -- he's won eight games in a row while posting a 1.99 GAA and a .924 save percentage during that time. It'll be a tough matchup for the 29-year-old against one of the NHL's best teams, as Vejmelka has already been defeated by the Lightning this season, allowing three goals on 25 shots in a 4-2 home loss Nov. 2. Tampa Bay also ranks second in the league with 3.48 goals per game in 2025-26.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Wins eighth straight start
Vejmelka made 27 saves in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
Nashville took a 1-0 lead into the first intermission, but Utah struck three times in the first 8:10 of the second period, and Vejmelka never looked back. The 29-year-old netminder has won eight straight starts, and his 25 wins on the season are already one back of the career high he set in 2024-25. He currently leads all NHL netminders in victories, three ahead of Andrei Vasilevskiy.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Keeps winning streak alive
Vejmelka stopped 25 of 29 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Flyers.
Vejmelka has been on fire of late and has won each of his last seven starts, and nine of his last 10 dating back to Dec. 21. Over that 10-game sample, Vejmelka has given up more than three goals just twice while posting a 2.29 GAA and an impressive .912 save percentage. Fantasy managers should continue to trust Vejmelka every time he steps on the ice, even if his winning streak looks bound to come to an end sooner rather than later.

In 2024-25, Vejmelka delivered a 26-22-8 record, 2.58 GAA and .904 save percentage in 58 appearances. The big 29-year-old has taken a step forward this campaign.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Sharp in win
Vejmelka allowed one goal on 27 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Stars.
Vejmelka didn't get a ton of help, but he was up to the challenge to earn his fifth straight win. He's allowed just seven goals in that span, though the Stars are by far the toughest opponent he's seen during the streak. For the season, the 29-year-old netminder is up to 22-11-2 with a 2.53 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 36 outings. The Mammoth's next game is a fairly favorable home matchup against the Kraken on Saturday. With no back-to-back sets over the next week, Vejmelka figures to see a fairly steady workload in the near future.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: First goalie off Thursday
Vejmelka was the first goalie to leave the ice Thursday, Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports reports, indicating he'll guard the cage at home versus Dallas.
Vejmelka is riding a four-game winning streak during which he has posted a 1.49 GAA and .943 save percentage. The 29-year-old netminder currently leads the NHL with 21 wins, and his 35 starts trail only Nashville's Juuse Saros (36). At this rate, Vejmelka should be a lock for the 30-win threshold and should even push for 40. If he continues to rack up wins, Vejmelka could find himself receiving a Vezina Trophy nomination at the end of the year.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Cruises to win
Vejmelka stopped 19 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
Calle Jarnkrok scored at 3:30 of the third period to spoil Vejmelka's shutout bid, but that was the only blemish on his performance. Vejmelka has won four outings in a row and six of his last seven. He's up to 21-11-2 with a 2.58 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 35 appearances this season. He's on a roll, and he'd get a look at a struggling Stars team should he get the nod Thursday at home.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: First off at morning skate
Vejmelka was the first netminder off during Tuesday's morning skate, according to Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports, which indicates he'll defend the home crease against Toronto.
Vejmelka has been playing well over the last month, winning three straight games and eight of his last 10. The 29-year-old has posted a 2.40 GAA and a .910 save percentage during that stretch. He got the night off Sunday against Columbus, so he should be fresh against a Maple Leafs club that is on the second half of a back-to-back. Toronto defeated Colorado 4-3 in overtime Monday and has won four consecutive games.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: First to 20 wins this season
Vejmelka stopped 26 of 28 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
Vejmelka is the first goalie to reach the 20-win mark this season. He's on a bit of a roll with five wins over his last six outings, allowing just 14 goals on 163 shots in that span. The 29-year-old netminder is at 20-11-2 with a 2.63 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 34 appearances. His workload is a plus for fantasy managers, as Vitek Vanecek hasn't played well enough for Vejmelka to get much rest yet. The Mammoth's next game is Sunday versus the Blue Jackets.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Burned by Devils
Vejmelka turned aside 26 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to New Jersey.
The Mammoth came out flat at both ends of the ice in the afternoon road contest, and Vejmelka didn't have much chance on any of the first three pucks that beat him -- although he might want another crack at Dougie Hamilton's sharp-angle strike late in the second period. It's only Vejmelka's second loss in his last seven starts. He's 17-11-2 with a 2.69 GAA and an .895 save percentage this season.
