At the university, Zalewski was immediately one of the top performers in the team and was always among the best scorers. In the 2006/07 season he won the championship title of the ECAC with the team and the following year he was one of the best strikers in the entire league, which earned him a call to the First All-Star Team of the ECAC. With the exception of his last season, he was able to continuously increase his offensive production.

Following the college season, the Power Forward signed his first professional contract in the organization of the San Jose Sharks, whereupon he was appointed to their farm team from the American Hockey League .

From the beginning of the 2008/09 season , the striker was part of the regular squad of the Worcester Sharks. After keeping up well with 39 points in 75 games in the regular season, he was completely out of shape in the playoffs. In twelve games he collected only one assist. The following season, Zalewski also began in Worcester but was first appointed to the NHL squad of the San Jose Sharks in mid-October. On October 12th, he made his debut against the Phoenix Coyotes .

In February 2011, Zalewski was together with Jay Leach in a barter transaction to the New Jersey Devils given, in return, the Sharks were the two attackers Michael Swift and Patrick Davis . In August 2011, Zalewski received a contract extension until 2013 and subsequently played mostly with the Albany Devils in the AHL. After his contract with the Devils expired, he moved to Europe for the first time and was signed by Lukko Rauma from the SM-liiga .
