Matt Villalta News: Up from minors

Written by RotoWire Staff

Published on December 29, 2025

Villalta was summoned from AHL Tucson on Monday.

Villalta has a 2.94 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 15 outings with Tucson this season. He's up from the minors because Karel Vejmelka is dealing with an upper-body injury and has been put on injured reserve. Utah hasn't announced its starter for Monday's home game against Nashville, but Villalta will likely serve as Vitek Vanecek's understudy.
