Goalies

Karel Vejmella, UTAH vs. FLA (41 % rostered)

Utah and Vejmelka may be getting Florida at the right time. The Panthers enter Wednesday's contest 2-4-0 in their last six games. Vejmelka, who has struggled career-wise against the 'Cats, is is 1-0-1 through two overall starts in January while stopping a combined 49 of 55 shots in that span (.891 save percentage, 2.95 goals-against average). Tread lightly based on history versus the opponent.
