Andreas Englund: our analysis
2024-25 season: 24 GP, 0 G, 2 A, 2 PTS, -8 +/-, 14:36 TOI. WAR -0.1 (226th of 314) · PAL 24, below average.
In 2024-25, Andreas Englund, 30, posts a PAL Rating of 24 out of 100 (below average), and his WAR of -0.1 ranks 226th among 314 regulars, in the bottom half.
His strengths: defense (71, above average) and power play (70, above average). On the other hand, creation (3, among the weakest in the league) and offense (7, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV defense (+0.7); his biggest cost: EV offense (-1.9).
A slight dip from 2023-24, when his PAL was 29; his WAR, though, went from -0.2 to -0.1.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 37 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Andreas Englund's story
Raised through the Djurgårdens IF program, Andreas Englund broke into pro hockey in 2013–14 with his boyhood club while they were in HockeyAllsvenskan. After the team earned promotion, he stepped into the Swedish Hockey League in 2014–15 and logged 49 games as a rookie, collecting five points while adapting to top-level play.
Following two full SHL seasons and 95 appearances, Englund moved to North America after being selected 40th overall by the Ottawa Senators in the 2014 draft; he then signed a three-year entry-level deal with Ottawa on 5 April 2016. He made his NHL debut on 3 December 2016 in a 2–0 Senators win over the Florida Panthers, marking his arrival at the highest level.
The next years brought several roster changes and a brief return to Sweden. With the 2020–21 North American campaign delayed, Englund agreed to a one-year contract with Västerviks IK but sat out that season due to injury. After Ottawa declined to extend a qualifying offer, he joined the Colorado Eagles of the AHL on 28 July 2021 and in 2021–22 appeared in 57 games, scoring two goals and 12 points as the Eagles reached the playoffs.
Englund re-signed within the Avalanche organization on a one-year, two-way contract on 13 July 2022 and was called up in November; he returned to NHL action on 14 November 2022 in a 3–2 loss to the St. Louis Blues and finished that stint with three assists in 36 games. He was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks on 26 February 2023 for Jack Johnson, posted one assist in 11 games, then signed a two-year, $2 million contract with the Los Angeles Kings on 1 July 2023. Englund played all 82 games in 2023–24, setting career highs with one goal and 10 points.
A reduced role the following season led to waivers and a claim by the Nashville Predators on 10 February 2025. After two seasons in Nashville, he signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Calgary Flames on 1 July 2026, and was claimed off waivers by the Detroit Red Wings on 26 September 2026. Englund’s game is defined by his defensive assignments: used primarily in a third-pairing role, he offers steady zone coverage and occasional offensive contributions when his team needs a reliable, stay-at-home presence.
