Vejmelka will guard the road goal against Edmonton on Tuesday, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
Scouting Report
A tall goaltender from Czechia, he has a nice combination of size and mobility. Was a two-time champion in the Czech Extraliga before opting to come to North America six years after originally being taken in the NHL draft, but will need some time to adapt to smaller rinks in North America. Is a rare right-catching netminder, which makes him a bit more difficult for shooters to read.
Long Range Potential: Promising goaltender with some upside.
