Currently, the Utah Mammoth are struggling to stay consistent. The Mammoth sit at 10-8-1 after a strong start to the season and have gotten terrible goaltending thus far.
Now, it's time to stop turning to Karel Vejmelka so much and start giving Sebastian Cossa more of a chance.
Cossa needs more starts moving forward
Right now, Vejmelka is 6-6-0, a season after going 38-20-3. He also has the 47th-best SV% at. 870. Vejmelka is allowed nearly 3.30 goals per game.
In other words, a season after being one of the most consistent goalies in the NHL, Vejmelka has gotten a lot worse. The Mammoth have given him his fair share of chances to bounce back, but he just hasn't.
Vejmelka is on a three-game losing streak and has lost five of his last six games. He has done the opposite of what he did last season. He is finding ways to lose instead of win.
Numbers-wise, Cossa hasn't been much better, with an .871 SV% and 3.30 goals allowed per game. However, his record currently stands at 4-1-1, and he's put up great performances lately. After a rough start, Cossa has found ways to win.
Simply put, things need to improve for the Mammoth. This team is extremely talented, but at the same time, Vejmelka and the defense have hurt the team too much.
In my opinion, Utah has to start turning to their young goalie, Sebastian Cossa, a lot more than they have in the past this 2026-27 season so far.
