Alex Iafallo: our analysis
2025-26 season: 79 GP, 13 G, 16 A, 29 PTS, +3 +/-, 15:35 TOI. WAR 0.7 (205th of 615) · PAL 69, above average.
In 2025-26, Alex Iafallo, 32, posts a PAL Rating of 69 out of 100 (above average), and his WAR of 0.7 ranks 205th among 615 regulars, in the top half.

Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV defense (+4.2); his biggest cost: finishing (-2.9).
A marked decline: his PAL was 96 in 2024-25, against 69 now; his WAR went from 1.9 to 0.7.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 62 (good value) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Alex Iafallo's story
Growing up in Eden, New York, Iafallo learned to skate very young and rose through the local youth ranks, skating with the Buffalo Regals 18U and representing the Western Region at the 2010 Empire State Games, where his side took gold. After the 2010–11 Tier 1 AAA season he moved on to the Fargo Force in the USHL, a stepping stone toward collegiate hockey.
He spent four seasons at the University of Minnesota‑Duluth, where he made the NCHC All‑Rookie Team as a freshman and finished his college career with 121 points in 152 games. In 2016–17 he paced the Bulldogs with 21 goals and 51 points, earned First Team All‑American honours, was named to the conference all‑star side and was voted MVP of the NCHC tournament.
Undrafted, Iafallo signed an entry‑level deal with the Los Angeles Kings on April 19, 2017. He immediately made the NHL opening roster for 2017–18, debuted on October 5, 2017 against the Philadelphia Flyers and scored his first NHL goal on November 5, 2017 versus the Nashville Predators. Over subsequent seasons he produced steady offence, notching nine goals as a rookie and later registering a hat trick on January 30, 2020 against the Arizona Coyotes; he agreed to a four‑year, US$16 million extension with the Kings on April 12, 2021.
Iafallo has also taken on leadership duties: he wore an alternate captain’s letter for the first time on May 7, 2021 and again intermittently during 2021–22 when teammates were sidelined. Despite missing 23 games in 2022–23, he finished that campaign with 14 goals and 36 points in 59 games and scored his first playoff overtime goal on April 17, 2023 against the Edmonton Oilers. On June 27, 2023 he was traded to the Winnipeg Jets as part of a multi‑player deal that included Rasmus Kupari, Gabriel Vilardi and a 2024 second‑round pick.
On the ice, his record shows a player capable of finishing plays and delivering in clutch moments—college scoring titles, a multi‑goal NHL game and an overtime playoff winner—while also accepting regular lineup and leadership responsibilities when called upon.

WAR and PAL ratings, 2025-26
How we rate →PAL Rating scores performance from 0 to 100 against players at the same position (50 = average player), starting from the player's strength, offensive or defensive. Value Rating compares that performance with what the player costs: 50 means paid what the play is worth.
