SALT LAKE CITY — As Utah sets off on a tough road trip, they'll be counting heavily on Karel Vejmelka to carry the team while Connor Ingram is away with an injury.
The team's No. 2 goaltender, Vejmelka has already turned in Utah's best individual performance of the year. But with his team in desperate need of a string of strong outings, SLC Puck! host Austin Facer sees this road trip as Vejmelka's chance to secure his spot as the leader in net for the rest of the season.
The trip begins with a stop in Boston, where the Bruins have just fired head coach Jim Montgomery, who was the NHL's winningest coach in his time in Beantown.
Does Montgomery's firing open the floodgates for more dismissals across the league? Is Utah head coach André Tourigny on the hot seat? All this and more on the newest episode of SLC Puck!
