AutoDraft Pro AI

After being named Utah's Opening Night starter, Karel Vejmelka posted a 15-save shutout in a 6-0 victory over the Blackhawks. The 30-year-old goaltender, who went 38-20-3 with a 2.75 GAA and .896 save percentage last season, is expected to shoulder a heavy workload again. Utah has a back-to-back road trip coming up against Columbus and the Rangers, where Vejmelka and backup Sebastian Cossa are expected to split the contests.
