    The NHL has announced their top goalies of the week, and to no one’s surprise, Utah Hockey Club’s Karel Vejmelka has been named as one of them.

    Vejmelka has been lights out this season for Utah and truly stepped up in a big way when Connor Ingram was sidelined due to a personal matter. He started 23 games in a row and gave his team a real good chance to win each night.

    Over the last week, he snapped his 23-game starting streak while also posting a 2.29 GAA in three games.

    Vejmelka has been one of the busiest goalies in the NHL with that long starting streak, but through it all, he gave his best effort—and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. Around the NHL, people have been talking about his work ethic and how much he gives to this team on a nightly basis.

    That is exactly why he was named the team's MVP by this teammates, back on April 10 at fan appreciation night.

    Although they fell short, his play this season put Utah in the best position to make the playoffs. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen this year, but he’ll come back next season stronger, and hopefully, they’ll make it then.
