Dmitri Ivchenko is a goaltender selected by the Vancouver Canucks in the third round (78th overall) of the 2026 NHL Draft, via a pick acquired from Columbus. A native of Novotroitsk, a steel-mill town in the Urals near the Kazakh border, he left home around age 11 — first to nearby Orsk, then east to Avangard Omsk's academy — and signed a three-year extension with Avangard in July 2025.
The left-catching netminder posted one of the draft's most efficient lines in 2025-26: 11-5-1 with a 1.91 goals-against average, a .922 save percentage and four shutouts for Omsk's MHL junior side. He then shut out the final 5-0 to win the junior championship and was named the tournament's best goaltender. NHL Central Scouting rated him the No. 4 International goaltender, up from eighth at midterm.
DobberProspects' Jean-François Rioux calls him "one of the most projectable goaltenders in this class... a mature, technically refined goaltender with a wide butterfly flare and reliable tracking," and ranks him an excellent value in the third round.
