Dominik Kubalik

Dominik Kubalík (born August 21, 1995) is a Czech professional ice hockey player for the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League (NHL).

He was selected in the seventh round (191st overall) by the Los Angeles Kings during the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing Career
Dominik made his Czech Extraliga debut playing with HC Plzeň during the 2011–12 Czech Extraliga season.

On January 10, 2014, he was traded by the Sudbury Wolves to the Kitchener Rangers along with two second-round draft picks for fellow Czech Radek Faksa. On August 4, 2014, it was announced that he had signed again with HC Plzeň.

On August 25, 2017, Dominik agreed to a three-year contract with HC Ambrì-Piotta of the National League (NL) and was immediately loaned to HC Plzeň of the Czech league for the 2017–18 season. The loan will allow Ambri to call him up in case one of their four other non-Swiss players is injured during the season.

During the 2018–19 season with Ambrì-Piotta, while in the midst of a breakout season and leading the National League in scoring with 43 points, Dominik's NHL rights were traded by the Los Angeles Kings to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for a fifth-round pick in 2019, on January 24, 2019. He would continue to remain in Switzerland to play out the remainder of the campaign.

On May 29, 2019, the Blackhawks signed him to his first NHL contract, agreeing to a one-year, $925,000 contract.

Dominik is the younger brother of Tomas Kubalik, a professional ice hockey player who was drafted and played with the Columbus Blue Jackets.
