Vejmelka's right pad/toe save on Red Wings center Dylan Larkin with just over a minute remaining in the first period was a possible game-changer with Utah already trailing 2-1.

Vejmelka, though, snagged the puck right out of the air. That was far from his only big save Thursday in Detroit. A night after he signed a five-year extension, Vejmelka made 38 saves to help Utah to a 4-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings.
