2026 Fantasy Outlook
Vejmelka finished the 2025-26 regular season with a 38-20-3 record, 2.75 GAA and .896 save percentage in 64 appearances with Utah. His GAA and save percentage indicate that he was average, and at the age of 30, there isn’t real improvement potential here. The good news for Utah is that he’s locked to a five-year, $23.75 million contract that runs through 2029-30, so while he’s not a great starter, at least he’s affordable for his role. He’s also relatively steady, posting a save percentage in the range of .895 to .904 in each of his first five seasons while being something of a workhorse. With how unpredictable goaltenders can be year-over-year, there is some value in that. Utah looks good overall, so don’t be surprised if Vejmelka gets sufficient support to top 35 wins again, but don’t expect appealing ratios. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a five-year, $23.75 million contract extension with Utah in March of 2025.
Can't shake skid in time
Vejmelka allowed four goals on 25 shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 6. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
ANALYSIS
Vejmelka helped the Mammoth to a 2-1 series lead after Game 3, but he followed it up by allowing 14 goals over the last three contests of the series. In all, the 29-year-old netminder went 2-4 with a 3.13 GAA and an .883 save percentage over six playoff outings in his first taste of postseason action. He's under contract for four more years, so expect Vejmelka to handle a starter's workload in 2026-27, though perhaps not at the same level as 2025-26, when he led the league with 64 regular-season appearances.

2022
After years of dangling in trade rumors as a good goalie behind a bad team, Vejmelka upped his game in a contract season and earned an extension with the Mammoth. His five-year deal kicks in for 2025-26 after he posted a 26-22-8 record with a 2.58 GAA and a .904 save percentage in a career-high 58 games. The 29-year-old is among the good goalies in the NHL, especially with that kind of workload, but his numbers could still improve as the team in front of him continues to trend up. Vejmelka should be good for 50 games at a minimum, and if Utah takes the next step forward, he'll be a strong mid-to-late-round pick in fantasy.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In starter's net
Vejmelka manned the starter's net during the morning skate, per Brogan Houston of the Deseret News, which might indicate that he'll get the nod at home against Colorado on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Vejmelka has a 27-14-2 record, 2.58 GAA and .902 save percentage in 44 appearances in 2025-26. He joined Team Czechia for the 2026 Winter Olympics, but he didn't play during the tournament, so he's fresh going into Wednesday's action. Colorado easily leads the league in goals per game with 3.84.
