Jack Galanek remains undrafted ahead of 2026 NHL Entry Draft
Summary

Jack Galanek, a center for UMass, is eligible for the 2026 NHL Entry Draft after going undrafted in 2024 and 2025. This season, he recorded five goals and 19 assists in 36 games, which marks a lackluster performance. Despite being rated as a D-level prospect and doubts about his skill set, his strong motor and work ethic may attract a team late in the draft. His playing career includes contributions at Muskegon Lumberjacks before joining UMass, where he averaged the sixth-most minutes per game.
