Vitek Vanecek Slated to Start Against Chicago Blackhawks

Vitek Vanecek is expected to start in goal for Monday's road game against the Blackhawks. The 30-year-old netminder has seen limited action recently, appearing in only three of the Mammoth's 23 contests since the start of 2026. In those appearances, he has posted a 2-0-1 record with a 1.99 GAA and one shutout. Vanecek is primarily utilized in back-to-back scenarios and offers limited fantasy utility given his current workload.
