Martin Psohlavec is a goaltender selected by the Philadelphia Flyers in the second round (62nd overall) of the 2026 NHL Draft — Philadelphia's first goalie pick since 2023, taken after the Flyers traded down with San Jose. The 6-foot-5 netminder catches with his left hand and is a product of HC Energie Karlovy Vary's program; he was born May 6, 2008 in nearby Ostrov.
He was outstanding in Czech junior in 2025-26 — 31-11-0 with a 1.92 goals-against average, a .928 save percentage and a league-leading eight shutouts — then backstopped Czechia to bronze at the 2026 U18 World Championship, the country's first U18 Worlds medal in 12 years, with three Karlovy Vary teammates alongside him.
After winning a Czech youth title he credited his longtime coach, telling hokej.cz: "He toughened me up for four years specifically for this moment, and it paid off." Scout Jean Rioux calls him "a reliable presence in the crease," with his skating over longer pushes the main thing to refine.
