2022 Fantasy Outlook
Vejmelka arrived stateside last season after many years of playing in his native Czechia and established himself as Arizona's No. 1 goaltender. Unfortunately that isn't a gig these days that will do wonders for your statistics. All told, Vejmelka played in 52 games, posting a horrific 13-32-3 record along with a 3.68 GAA and .898 save percentage. He had one shutout. The overall state of the Coyotes' franchise at the moment makes it nearly impossible to trust any goaltender on their team, Vejmelka included, from a fantasy perspective. He's nothing more than a late-round dart throw for managers looking for a goalie who should get consistent playing time. Read Past Outlooks

Falls short against Colorado
GArizona Coyotes
March 24, 2023
Vejmelka kicked out 27 of 30 shots in a 3-1 loss to Colorado on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Vejmelka did alright over his previous three starts, posting a 2-1-0 record, 2.61 GAA and .921 save percentage in that span. This game started out pretty well for him too. He did surrender a power-play goal to Nathan MacKinnon midway through the first period, but he was perfect in the second. Vejmelka was done in by the third frame though, allowing two goals on nine shots during that stretch. He dropped to 18-21-5 with a 3.33 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 46 appearances this season.
