Key Player for the Mammoth
Karel Vejmelka is expected to return as the starting goalie for Utah. His performance in the last game was a highlight for the Mammoth, and he may play a crucial role again tonight. The Mammoth hope to capitalize on their chances to disrupt the Avalanche’s unbeaten streak.
