What’s the plan for Utah’s goaltending situation?
Utah's goaltending has been its weakest aspect so far this season. Here's what the team is doing to fix that.
Utah Mammoth goaltender Karel Vejmelka has faced a challenging season, as he currently has the second-worst save percentage in the NHL and is on pace to record the lowest of his career. Despite the struggles, Vejmelka remains positive and is focused on improving his performance every day. Fellow goaltender Sebastian Cossa, who joined the team this summer, shares a similar outlook and believes they can clean up their game to keep getting wins.
Rather than solely blaming the goalies, the team views the issue as a whole-team problem. Skaters have been criticized for giving up unsaveable chances, such as backdoors and moving pucks, which impacts the goalies' save percentages. Head coach André Tourigny remains optimistic, stating that goaltending has been better in recent games and that the team is working together to eliminate problematic situations.
