Penguins Sign Defenseman Tomas Galvas to Entry-Level Contract

The Pittsburgh Penguins have added to their future prospects by signing defenseman Tomas Galvas to a three-year entry-level contract. The announcement came Thursday, shortly after Galvas was selected in the second round of the 2026 NHL Draft last month.

Galvas, who showcased his talent in Czechia with Bílí Tygři Liberec during the 2025-26 season, had an impressive run, netting eight goals and accumulating 24 points in just 32 games. His performance at the World Juniors further highlighted his potential, where he scored three goals and contributed nine points over seven games, demonstrating his strong skating abilities and presence on the ice.

Looking ahead, Galvas is expected to continue his development in Czechia for another season before making the transition to North America. If his 2026-27 campaign in Czechia concludes early, he could find himself joining the AHL’s Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. The excitement surrounding Galvas is palpable, and the Penguins are optimistic about his future contributions to the team.
