Vejmelka will start the Coyotes' season opener in Pittsburgh.

Vejmelka draws a tough opening night matchup as the Coyotes head to Pittsburgh to take on Sidney Crosby and the Penguins. The 26-year-old Czech netminder struggled mightily in his rookie season in 2021-22 posting a .898 SV% alongside finishing third last among starters with a 3.68 GAA. Vejmelka will hope 2022-23 brings his win rate up after securing victory in only 25% of the games he played.

The Coyotes have signed Karel Vejmelka to a three-year contract extension worth $8.175 million ($2.725M AAV).

Vejmelka came over from the Czech League and has played well for the Coyotes this season, going 10-23-1 with a 3.35 GAA and .905 SV% behind one of the league's worst clubs. With Scott Wedgewood getting traded to Dallas on Sunday, Vejmelka is the unquestioned No.1 netminder in Arizona moving forward. His three-year extension will keep him with the team the 2024-25 season.
