Petr Straka (born June 15, 1992) is a professional ice hockey player from the Czech Republic, currently signed with HC Verva Litvínov competing in the Czech Extraliga (ELH).
Playing career
Selected 55th overall in the second round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft by the Columbus Blue Jackets, Straka was not signed and thus went undrafted in 2012. After becoming a free agent, he inked a three-year entry-level contract with the Philadelphia Flyers on April 11, 2013. During the 2014–15 campaign, Straka debuted in the NHL following a recall from the Flyers' AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, participating in three games and tallying two assists.
On November 12, 2016, Straka was traded to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for a conditional seventh-round draft pick. Throughout the 2016–17 season, he played with the Devils' AHL team, the Albany Devils, where he contributed 4 goals and 13 points over 38 games.
Facing limited chances in the NHL as a free agent, Straka opted to return to his native country by signing a one-year contract with HC Plzeň of the Czech Extraliga on June 20, 2017.
