Karel Vejmelka News: 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.
