The Detroit Red Wings used the 83rd overall pick in Saturday's NHL draft to select center Zach Gallant of the Peterborough Petes.
Gallant was chosen with the third of the Red Wings' four third-round picks.
The 6-foot-1, 198-pound Gallant had 21 goals, 26 assists and 74 penalty minutes in 60 games for Peterborough last season.
He's the second center the Red Wings drafted this year. They used the ninth overall pick in the first round to take Michael Rasmussen of WHL's Tri-City Americans.
