Vejmelka will make his league-leading 64th start of the season when the Mammoth host the Blues in their regular season finale on Thursday. Vejmelka secured his 38th victory of the season in his last start, stopping 21 of the 24 shots he faced in a 5-3 win over the Jets on Tuesday. Vejmelka and the Mammoth enter action as slight underdogs on Thursday at +110 on the money line.

Utah can inch closer to locking up the top Wild Card seed in the Western Conference with a win in its penultimate game on Tuesday against the Winnipeg Jets. Vejmelka will tend the twine and look to build some momentum to take into his first-ever postseason. The 29-year-old Czech goalie was serviceable in his previous outing, saving 26 of 29 shots (.897 SV%), but did not receive enough goal support in a 4-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes, snapping a five-game winning streak for Vejmelka. The Mammoth enter Tuesday's contest as -178 home favourites against a Winnipeg Jets team that has been outscored 13-3 in their last two games (0-2-0).

Vejmelka allowed one goal on 30 shots in the Mammoth's win over the Predators on Thursday. Vejmelka is riding a five-game winning streak, stopping 123 of the 137 shots (.898 SV%) that he's faced. Tonight he'll face a Carolina team that rest a handful of regulars on Thursday, making Vejmelka a strong option in what would otherwise be considered a difficult matchup.

Vejmelka struggled in Utah's previous game, allowing five goals on 26 shots (.808 SV%), but his team battled to salvage him a 6-5 overtime victory over the Edmonton Oilers. The 29-year-old Czech goalie has been wildly inconsistent since the beginning of March, despite a solid 8-4-1 record, posting a less-than-stellar 3.26 GAA and .879 SV%. The Mammoth enter Thursday's contest as -161 home favourites against a desperate Nashville Predators team that likely needs a win to stay in the second Wild Card spot in the Western Conference.

The 29-year-old Vejmelka is riding a two-game winning streak, boasting an impressive 1.47 GAA and .953 SV%.

Vejmelka will make his league-leading 53rd start of the season tonight after a rare night off on Monday. Utah's workhorse netminder has struggled a bit of late, going 0-2-1 with an .842 SV% in his last three starts. Despite the small cold streak, he still owns an impressive 30-18-3 record on the season. Vejmelka will be tested once again this evening, as the Mammoth enter action as slight underdogs at +110 on the money line.

Vejmelka has battled some adversity lately and hopes to return to form on Monday, tending the twine against the Dallas Stars. The 29-year-old Czech goalie has struggled since returning from the Olympic break, allowing three or more goals in six of eight games (3-4-1) while posting a pedestrian 3.49 GAA and .866 SV%. The Mammoth enter Monday's contest as +137 road underdogs against the NHL's hottest team, the Dallas Stars, who are 14-0-1 in their last 15 games.
