Prior to turning professional, Zalewski attended the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where he played two seasons (2012–14) of NCAA Division I hockey with the RPI Engineers, registering 21 goals, 26 assists, 47 points, and 75 penalty minutes in 71 games.

On March 14, 2014, the Vancouver Canucks of the NHL signed Zalewski as a free agent to an entry-level contract.[1] On April 12, 2014, Zalewski made his NHL debut skating 11:47 with the Vancouver Canucks in a 5-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers.[2]
