He has a goal and 12 assists with Tucson this season.

Vejmelka will face a Winnipeg team that’s won five straight, scoring 16 goals in that span.

The Coyotes assigned him to the AHL before the start of the 2023-24 season and he has been a scoring star, tallying 10 goals while adding 18 assists in 29 games. Guenther is slated to start on the second line, alongside Jack McBain and Matias Maccelli, as well as seeing first unit power-play time. versus Winnipeg.
