On top of the CHL Top-10 spotlight a young Raiders player is also being recognized for his recent great play.

Prince Albert Raiders goalie Michal Orsulak has been named the Mary Brown’s Chicken WHL Goaltender of the Week for the week ending Nov. 9.

The 18-year-old Czech went 2-0-0 with a sparkling 1.50 goals-against-average as he helped the Raiders grab two road wins over the Lethbridge Hurricanes and Spokane Chiefs.

Orsulak stopped 47 of 50 shots over the two-game stretch, good for a .940 save percentage.

The 6′4 netminder, selected in the first round of the 2025 CHL Import Draft, improved his 2026 record to 6-0-2-0 with a 1.87 GAA, .918 SV% and two shutouts. He ranks among the WHL leaders in GAA (1st) shutouts (tied for 1st) and SV% (4th.)

Prince Albert has collected at least a point in all eight of his appearances in net.

The Raiders sit second in the WHL Eastern Conference with a 12-1-3-0 record and sit atop the East Division.

Orsulak and the Raiders visit the Everett Silvertips Nov. 11., followed by a trip to Portland to play the Winterhawks Nov. 12.
