Nashville has not been one of Vejmelk's favorite opponents so far, receiving four goals from the Predators in all three games last year. In the last match, the Czech goalkeeper conceded four times in the opening six minutes and headed for the substitutes' bench with only two successful hits.
This time, Vejmelka performed reliably. Against the team that drafted him in 2015, he scored just twice in the second period and shot 93.5 percent to help the Coyotes extend their six-game point streak.
