Philadelphia Flyers add Czech goalie and other prospects on Day 2 of 2026 NHL Draft

On the second day of the 2026 NHL Draft, the Philadelphia Flyers made several selections to bolster their prospect pool. After trading back from the No. 21 pick and adding extra second‑ and fourth‑round picks, the Flyers used the 62nd overall selection to draft Czech goaltender Martin Psohlavec, a 6‑foot‑5, 185‑pound netminder praised for his size and athleticism but noted for raw technique and limited skating. The pick addresses the organization’s lack of depth at goaltending, with only one prospect, Yegor Zavragin, currently playing beyond the AHL. Earlier in the draft, Philadelphia chose defenseman Maksim Solovkoskii at No. 27 and continued to evaluate other available talent for Day 2, keeping options open for a possible trade‑up. Psohlavec is projected as a developmental depth player who could become an AHL regular or, with further growth, an NHL option.
