The Pittsburgh Penguins have officially signed one of their 2026 draft picks. 

Defenseman Tomas Galvas signed a three-year entry-level contract with the team on Thursday after he was selected in the second round of the 2026 NHL Draft last month. 

The news was announced via the Penguins' official X account. 

Galvas played in Czechia for Bílí Tygři Liberec during the 2025-26 season, finishing with eight goals and 24 points in 32 games.

He also represented Czechia at the World Juniors and was fantastic, compiling three goals and nine points in seven games. He was everywhere on the ice, utilizing his strong skating skills to his advantage. 

Galvas is expected to play another season in Czechia before coming over to North America. He could join the AHL's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins if his 2026-27 season in Czechia ends early. 

This is a player that the Penguins are pretty excited about, and rightfully so.
