Michal Orsulak is a goaltender selected by the Detroit Red Wings in the third round (79th overall) of the 2026 NHL Draft, giving Detroit a third goalie prospect named Michal. The 6-foot-4, 224-pound netminder catches with his right hand — unusual at his size — and was the Prince Albert Raiders' first-round pick (46th) in the 2025 CHL Import Draft.
He arrived from Czechia so eager to play that, with his own equipment not yet delivered, he suited up for WHL preseason in a patchwork of borrowed, mismatched gear. He went on to a 28-4-4 rookie season with a 2.22 goals-against average — tops among qualified WHL goalies — a .907 save percentage and four shutouts, then carried Prince Albert to the WHL Final.
At the 2026 World Juniors he won silver with Czechia and stopped Canada's Michael Hage on back-to-back penalty shots in the semifinal. NHL Central Scouting's Al Jensen comped him to Anthony Stolarz and Logan Thompson; Orsulak models his game on Sergei Bobrovsky. Raiders coach Ryan McDonald calls him "the happiest guy every single day."
This page gathers Orsulak's numbers, measurements, and draft details in one place. InGoal Magazine will expand its coverage as his career develops.
