Janecyk attended Marist High School and played for Chicago State University in his hometown from 1976 to 1978. He turned professional with the Fort Wayne Komets, then played in the American Hockey League for the New Brunswick Hawks, going 11-2 in the 1982 playoffs as the team captured the AHL's Calder Cup.
Janecyk made his NHL debut with the Black Hawks during the 1983–84 season, appearing in eight games. A trade on the day of the 1984 NHL Entry Draft sent Chicago's first, third and fourth-round selections plus Janecyk to the Los Angeles Kings for their first and fourth-round picks. Chicago selected Ed Olczyk second overall, while the Kings used the fourth-round pick to select Tom Glavine, a future member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
Janecyk received more playing time out of the change of teams. He started in goal 89 times for Los Angeles the next two seasons, plus three games of the 1985 Stanley Cup playoffs. Two of those games went to overtime, but Janecyk and the Kings ended up eliminated by Wayne Gretzky and the Edmonton Oilers, who went on to win the Stanley Cup.
Janecyk's son Adam Janecyk was a goalie for the University of Michigan's hockey team from 2010 to 2014.
