Vanecek will guard the road goal versus the Avalanche on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Karel Vejmelka (upper body) was originally expected to start, but Vanecek will instead get the nod. Vanecek hasn't won since Oct. 26 versus the Jets, going 0-6-1 with a 3.43 GAA and an .855 save percentage over his last seven contests. It'll be a tall task to shake off that skid against the NHL's top team.

Vanecek made 19 saves in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

The Mammoth potted the game's first goal, but it was all Bruins after that, with Vanecek really only being to blame for one of them when he failed to control a rebound early in the second period. The 29-year-old netminder hasn't gotten into the win column since Oct. 26, going 0-6-1 over his last seven outings with a 3.43 GAA and a brutal .855 save percentage.

Vanecek was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports, indicating that he will defend the road net against Boston on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Vanecek has gone 0-5-1 while allowing 19 goals on 136 shots over his last six outings. He has stopped 180 of 205 shots en route to a 2-6-1 record in nine appearances this season. Boston sits eighth in the league with 3.24 goals per game this campaign.

Vanecek turned aside 21 of 22 shots in Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Flames, with Calgary's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

EDGE Analysis

Yegor Sharangovich banged home a rebound just 16 seconds into the first period, and while it proved to be the only goal Vanecek would allow, the Mammoth were never able to solve Dustin Wolf in the other crease. Vanecek's best performance of the season went to waste, continuing a futile stretch for the 29-year-old netminder. He hasn't won a game since Oct. 26, going 0-5-1 over his last six starts with a 3.33 GAA and .860 save percentage.

Vanecek is expected to start on the road against Calgary on Saturday, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

EDGE Analysis

Vanecek hasn't earned a win since Nov. 9, but he's been used sparingly, posting a record of 0-2-1 with a 3.57 GAA and an .859 save percentage since his last victory. The 29-year-old has a 2-5-1 record, 3.11 GAA and .869 save percentage in eight appearances this season. Calgary ranks 32nd in goals per game with 2.34.

Vanecek stopped 18 of 21 shots in relief of Karel Vejmelka in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Vanecek ended up with the loss since the Mammoth were able to cover the damage Vejmelka left behind in the first period. This was a fifth straight loss for Vanecek (0-4-1), and he's allowed at least three goals in each appearance. On the year, he's 2-5-1 with a 3.11 GAA and an .869 save percentage, numbers that have prevented him from carving out a larger role in Utah's crease even with Vejmelka playing noticeably below his potential. The Mammoth are in Anaheim on Wednesday and then have a back-to-back (Friday in Vancouver, Saturday in Calgary) to close out their current road trip, which should allow both goalies to get game action within the next week.

Vanecek stopped 24 of 28 shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Vanecek has lost his last four outings, giving up 15 goals in that span. The 29-year-old had a 2-1 lead to work with after one period, but the Stars responded with three goals in the middle frame, and that was the difference. Vanecek is down to 2-4-1 with a 3.03 GAA and an .870 save percentage over seven outings this season. Karel Vejmelka is likely to get the nod versus the Blues on Saturday.

Vanecek will protect the road goal versus the Stars on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Vanecek has allowed 11 goals on 65 shots over his last three games, going 0-2-1 in that span. He'll handle the first half of a back-to-back and has a tough assignment, which makes this look like the Mammoth are saving their strength for Saturday versus the Blues. The Stars have scored 24 goals over their last six games, going 4-1-1 in that span.

Vanecek allowed three goals on 22 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Vanecek has lost his last three outings, going 0-2-1 with 11 goals allowed on 65 shots in that span. The 29-year-old netminder is now at a 2-3-1 record with a 2.85 GAA and an .873 save percentage in six starts this season. The Mammoth's tight defense, which is allowing a league-best 23.6 shots per game, has made things easier on the goalies, but Vanecek's performance hasn't been all that good, even with the light workloads. Look for Karel Vejmelka to get the start Thursday at home versus the Golden Knights.

Vanecek will guard the road goal versus the Sharks on Tuesday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vanecek will get the second half of a back-to-back after Karel Vejmelka took a 3-2 overtime loss versus the Ducks on Monday. Vanecek is in a bit of a rut, having lost his last two outings with a total of eight goals allowed on 43 shots.
