PORTLAND, ME – August 12, 2026 – The Maine Mariners, proud affiliates of the NHL's Boston Bruins and AHL's Providence Bruins, have re-signed defenseman Owen Gallatin. A rookie in 2025-26, Gallatin originally joined the Mariners last November.
Acquired in a trade from the Fort Wayne Komets in early November 2025, Gallatin became a regular on the Mariners blue line for the remainder of the season. He appeared in 46 games for Maine, scoring his first two professional goals, and adding 15 assists.
