Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Earns league-best 27th win
Vejmelka turned aside 29 of 30 shots on net in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.
Vejmelka kept Utah's net clean across the first 55 minutes of Wednesday's contest before he allowed Detroit's lone power-play goal of the game. The 29-year-old netminder has tended more games than any other goalie since Jan. 1, where he's led the Mammoth to an 11-4-0 record when he plays. While he won't get a vacation to refuel during the 2026 Winter Olympics, he'll likely be able to rotate in and out of Czechia's lineup with Lukas Dostal and Dan Vladar, which should offer Vejmelka a few games of rest while in Milan.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Leaves ice first Wednesday
Vejmelka was the first goalie off the ice ahead of Wednesday's home clash with Detroit, indicating he'll be in goal, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports.
Vejmelka continues to see a heavy workload, currently sitting tied with Nashville's Juuse Saros for starts (43) this season. In those outings, the 29-year-old Vejmelka is 26-14-2 with a 2.61 GAA, a .900 save percentage and one shutout. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Vejmelka won't be able to sit on his couch during the Olympic break, as he will join Team Czechia for the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Earns win vs. Canucks
Vejmelka stopped 21 of 23 shots in Monday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.
Vejmelka was beaten in the first and second periods, but by the time the Canucks scored their second goal, Utah's lead was already big, so his win was never at risk. Perhaps more importantly, Vejmelka snapped a three-game losing skid, and the 29-year-old got back to winning ways after he secured eight wins in a row between Jan. 5 and Jan. 24. The 29-year-old netminder has gone 10-4-0 with a 2.43 GAA and a .911 save percentage since the beginning of January.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: First goalie off Monday
Vejmelka was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Canucks.
Vejmelka put together an eight-game winning streak earlier in January but has gone 0-3-0 with 10 goals allowed on 94 shots over his last three outings. He'll attempt to get back on track against the Canucks, who are scoring 2.56 goals per game this year, which is the third-worst mark in the league.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Surrenders three goals
Vejmelka allowed three goals on 32 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.
Don't blame Vejmelka for this loss. The Mammoth killed off just two of the Stars' four power plays, with Thomas Harley and Wyatt Johnston each scoring with the man advantage early in the first period. Vejmelka has now taken three straight losses, allowing 10 goals on 94 shots in that span. He's tended to run streaky at times, though with more good than bad overall. Vejmelka slipped to 25-14-2 with a 2.63 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 42 starts. The Czech netminder is set to represent his country at the Olympics, so it's possible the Mammoth will let him rest either Monday versus the Canucks or Wednesday against the Red Wings in advance of the tournament. Vejmelka went 9-4-0 over 13 games in January, sitting just twice all month.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Set to face Dallas
Vejmelka was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease against the Stars on Saturday.
Vejmelka has lost his last two outings, including a 28-save effort in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Carolina. He has a 25-13-2 record this campaign with a 2.62 GAA, an .899 save percentage and one shutout through 41 appearances. Dallas sits 11th in the league this season with 3.28 goals per game.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Late collapse in narrow loss
Vejmelka stopped 28 of 33 shots in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Hurricanes.
After allowing just two goals across the first 58 minutes of the contest, Vejmelka crashed and burned when he surrendered three goals in the final two minutes of the third period. With the loss, the 29-year-old netminder now has a 25-13-2 record, 2.62 GAA and .899 save percentage through 41 appearances this season. After posting an eight-game winning streak earlier in January, Utah's starting netminder has dropped a pair of road games to Eastern Conference opponents in his last two outings. With a league-leading 25 wins and the Mammoth occupying a wild-card spot in the Western Conference, Vejmelka remains a high-level goaltending option across most fantasy formats. His next chance to bounce back is in Saturday's home clash against Dallas.

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.

Vejmelka will get the home start versus the Flyers on Wednesday.

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.
