Vejmelka draws the start Monday as the winless Arizona Coyotes head to Toronto to take on the Maple Leafs. The second-year netminder has struggled mightily in his first two starts of 2022-23 producing a .884 SV% as well as a shockingly high 5.54 GAA. He will look to get the Coyotes in the win column for the first time after they beat the Maple Leafs in both of their meetings in 2021-22.

Vejmelka will get his second start of the 2022-23 season after struggling in the Coyote's opener allowing six goals on 53 shots. He will hope the team in front of him is a bit more defensively sound as 53 Shots is the most against for any game this season.

Vejmelka draws a tough opening night matchup as the Coyotes head to Pittsburgh to take on Sidney Crosby and the Penguins. The 26-year-old Czech netminder struggled mightily in his rookie season in 2021-22 posting a .898 SV% alongside finishing third last among starters with a 3.68 GAA. Vejmelka will hope 2022-23 brings his win rate up after securing victory in only 25% of the games he played.

Vejmelka came over from the Czech League and has played well for the Coyotes this season, going 10-23-1 with a 3.35 GAA and .905 SV% behind one of the league's worst clubs. With Scott Wedgewood getting traded to Dallas on Sunday, Vejmelka is the unquestioned No.1 netminder in Arizona moving forward. His three-year extension will keep him with the team the 2024-25 season.
