Yegor Rybkin is a goaltender selected by the Los Angeles Kings in the third round (89th overall) of the 2026 NHL Draft, and one of the most unusual prospects in the class: a netminder listed at 6-foot-7 by NHL Central Scouting (the Russian league's own record has him at 6-foot-6) who moves like a man far smaller. "Rybkin is the most unique goaltender in this year's draft," Elite Prospects scout Max Lee wrote.
Born December 3, 2007 in Yegoryevsk, near Moscow, the right-catching goaltender relocated into the Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod system and played for its MHL junior club, Chaika. His draft season ended abruptly — after appearing on November 21, 2025, his game log simply stops — and he finished with an 11-game line of 5-2-0, a 2.56 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage.
Scouts marvel at the rare mobility at his size — "the most unique goaltender in this year's draft," one Elite Prospects scout wrote. The Kings, who have made a habit of drafting and developing big goaltenders, added him on Day 2.
This page collects Rybkin's numbers, measurements, and draft details in one place. InGoal Magazine will expand its coverage as his career develops.
