Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Sharp in win
Vejmelka allowed one goal on 27 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Stars.
Vejmelka didn't get a ton of help, but he was up to the challenge to earn his fifth straight win. He's allowed just seven goals in that span, though the Stars are by far the toughest opponent he's seen during the streak. For the season, the 29-year-old netminder is up to 22-11-2 with a 2.53 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 36 outings. The Mammoth's next game is a fairly favorable home matchup against the Kraken on Saturday. With no back-to-back sets over the next week, Vejmelka figures to see a fairly steady workload in the near future.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: First goalie off Thursday
Vejmelka was the first goalie to leave the ice Thursday, Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports reports, indicating he'll guard the cage at home versus Dallas.
Vejmelka is riding a four-game winning streak during which he has posted a 1.49 GAA and .943 save percentage. The 29-year-old netminder currently leads the NHL with 21 wins, and his 35 starts trail only Nashville's Juuse Saros (36). At this rate, Vejmelka should be a lock for the 30-win threshold and should even push for 40. If he continues to rack up wins, Vejmelka could find himself receiving a Vezina Trophy nomination at the end of the year.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Cruises to win
Vejmelka stopped 19 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
Calle Jarnkrok scored at 3:30 of the third period to spoil Vejmelka's shutout bid, but that was the only blemish on his performance. Vejmelka has won four outings in a row and six of his last seven. He's up to 21-11-2 with a 2.58 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 35 appearances this season. He's on a roll, and he'd get a look at a struggling Stars team should he get the nod Thursday at home.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: First off at morning skate
Vejmelka was the first netminder off during Tuesday's morning skate, according to Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports, which indicates he'll defend the home crease against Toronto.
Vejmelka has been playing well over the last month, winning three straight games and eight of his last 10. The 29-year-old has posted a 2.40 GAA and a .910 save percentage during that stretch. He got the night off Sunday against Columbus, so he should be fresh against a Maple Leafs club that is on the second half of a back-to-back. Toronto defeated Colorado 4-3 in overtime Monday and has won four consecutive games.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: First to 20 wins this season
Vejmelka stopped 26 of 28 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
Vejmelka is the first goalie to reach the 20-win mark this season. He's on a bit of a roll with five wins over his last six outings, allowing just 14 goals on 163 shots in that span. The 29-year-old netminder is at 20-11-2 with a 2.63 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 34 appearances. His workload is a plus for fantasy managers, as Vitek Vanecek hasn't played well enough for Vejmelka to get much rest yet. The Mammoth's next game is Sunday versus the Blue Jackets.

Vejmelka stopped 32 of 33 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Senators.

The 29-year-old is now leading the NHL in wins with 19, one ahead of Colorado's Scott Wedgewood, though Vejmelka has played in six more games.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Burned by Devils
Vejmelka turned aside 26 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to New Jersey.
The Mammoth came out flat at both ends of the ice in the afternoon road contest, and Vejmelka didn't have much chance on any of the first three pucks that beat him -- although he might want another crack at Dougie Hamilton's sharp-angle strike late in the second period. It's only Vejmelka's second loss in his last seven starts. He's 17-11-2 with a 2.69 GAA and an .895 save percentage this season.

Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Cruises to win in return
Vejmelka turned aside 20 shots in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Islanders.
After a scoreless first period in which Vejmelka kicked out all 11 shots he faced, the Mammoth took control over the final 40 minutes and made their netminder's job a lot easier. Vejmelka missed the prior two games due to an upper-body injury, but that's been about the only thing to derail him of late -- he's won five of his last six starts, allowing 15 goals on 151 shots (.901 save percentage) over that stretch.
