Jakub Škarek (born 10 November 1999) is a Czech professional ice hockey goaltender who is currently playing as a prospect to the New York Islanders of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected 72nd overall by the Islanders in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career[]

Škarek made his professional debut with his youth club, HC Dukla Jihlava, before making his Czech Extraliga debut on loan with HC Sparta Praha during the 2016–17 season as a 18-year old.

Returning to Dukla Jihlava after backstopping the club to promotion to the Czech Extraliga for the 2017–18 season, Škarek made 21 top flight appearances in posting a .913 save percentage.

In order to continue his development, he left Jihlava for a higher level of competition, joining the Lahti Pelicans of the Finnish Liiga for the 2018–19 season on 2 May 2018.[1]

Škarek's potential was noticed, selected in the third round, 72nd overall, by the New York Islanders in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. On 6 July 2018, Škarek was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Islanders, with the agreement to continue his contract with the Lahti Pelicans.[2]
