Vejmelka will start against the Sabres on Wednesday.

After a hot start to the season, Utah finds itself on a three-game losing streak (0-3-0), hoping to snap it on Wednesday with Vejmelka tending the twine against the Buffalo Sabres. Vejmelka had a forgetful performance in his most recent outing, allowing six goals on 23 shots (.739 SV%) in a 6-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens. The 29-year-old Czech goalie has a 2.91 GAA and .881 SV% in 11 games this season (7-4-0). The Mammoth enters Wednesday's contest as -195 home favorites against a Sabres team they defeated 2-1 in overtime less than a week ago.

Vejmelka will start in St. Louis on Thursday.

Utah has been one of the NHL's best defensive teams early in the 2025-26 season, allowing only 13 goals (2.17 GA / GP) through six games (5-1-0), and will roll with Vejmelka between the pipes on Thursday against the St. Louis Blues. The 29-year-old Czech goalie is off to a great start to the season, posting a solid 2.20 GAA and .911 SV% in five games (4-1-0). Utah enters Thursday's outing as a slight +104 road underdog against a St. Louis team with a 3-2-1 record.

Vejmelka will start against the Avalanche on Tuesday.

Utah (4-2-0) is off to a strong start early in the 2025-26 season, among the top teams in the Central Division. They currently rank among the stingiest defensive teams, allowing only 2.17 goals per game. Vejmelka, who returns to the crease on Tuesday against the Colorado Avalanche, has been an active contributor to Utah's defensive prowess, posting a 2.00 GAA and .912 SV% in four outings (3-1-0). That said, Utah enters Tuesday's contest as +128 home underdogs against a Colorado team that leads the Central Division.

Vejmelka will start against the Sharks on Friday.

Utah's defensive prowess has been on display early in the 2025-26 season, limiting its opposition to only eight total goals. However, they have only translated their defensive effectiveness into a 2-2-0 record due to difficulties offensively, only scoring eight goals in the process. Vejmelka will likely be between the pipes on Friday against the San Jose Sharks, looking to build on an already impressive 1.67 GAA and .929 SV% through three games (2-1-0). The Mammoth enter Friday's contest as sizable -245 home favorites against a Sharks team searching for their first win this season (0-1-2).

Vejmelka will start against the Flames on Wednesday.

After getting the night off in Utah's most recent outing, Vejmelka will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Calgary Flames. Vejmelka has been solid early in the 2025-26 season but has only been rewarded with a 1-1-0 record, despite an impressive 1.99 GAA and .920 SV%. The Czech goaltending tandem of Vejmelka and Vitek Vanecek should continue to be led by Vejmelka, unless his play dictates otherwise. The Mammoth enters Wednesday's contest as sizable -220 home favorites against a Flames team that has been outscored 9-16 in their first four games (1-3-0).

Vejmelka will start in Colorado on Thursday.

With the offseason departure of Connor Ingram, Vejmelka will likely see a heavy workload in the 2025-26 season, starting with Utah's season opener against the Colorado Avalanche. The 29-year-old Vejmelka played a career-high 58 games last season (26-22-8), and posted career-highs in GAA (2.58) and SV% (.904). With an improved roster up front, a strong season from Vejmelka should allow Utah to flirt with playoff contention. Still, Utah enters Thursday's matchup as +165 road underdogs against Colorado's high-octane offence.
