Anthony Mantha: our analysis
2025-26 season: 81 GP, 33 G, 31 A, 64 PTS, +10 +/-, 15:11 TOI. WAR 3.9 (14th of 615) · PAL 85, excellent.
In 2025-26, Anthony Mantha, 32, posts a PAL Rating of 85 out of 100 (excellent), and his WAR of 3.9 ranks 14th among 615 regulars, among the league's elite.
His strengths: shooting (98, among the best in the league), offense (91, among the best in the league) and defense (80, well above average). On the other hand, power play (5, among the weakest in the league) and discipline (32, below average) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: finishing (+13.8); his biggest cost: power play (-1.3).
A slight dip from 2023-24, when his PAL was 89; his WAR, though, went from 3.2 to 3.9.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 86 (very good contract) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Anthony Mantha's story
Growing up on the South Shore, Anthony Mantha played in the Quebec pee-wee tournament with Collège-Français Rive-Sud and developed through the midget AAA ranks with Collège Charles-Lemoyne before becoming a regular in Val-d'Or's lineup. Selected 76th in the 2010 QMJHL draft, he gradually turned into one of the league's most dangerous forwards.
Mantha's junior years saw a sharp rise: after a full QMJHL season in 2011–12 he led the league with 50 goals in 2012–13 and then dominated the 2013–14 campaign with 120 points. Those performances earned him the Jean Béliveau Trophy as top scorer, the Michel Brière Memorial Trophy as QMJHL MVP and the CHL Player of the Year honour; in the playoffs he finished with an impressive scoring rate and scored the game-winner in game seven to secure the President's Cup for Val-d'Or.
Taken 20th overall by Detroit in 2013, Mantha signed an entry-level deal that October. A fractured right tibia delayed his professional debut until November 2014 with the Grand Rapids Griffins, where he developed his game and recorded milestone performances including a first professional hat-trick in 2016. He made his NHL debut with the Red Wings in March 2016 and scored his first NHL goal later that month. Highlights in Detroit included the first goal scored at Little Caesars Arena in 2017, his first NHL hat-trick in 2019 and a four-goal home opener in October 2019; Detroit extended him with a four-year contract in November 2020.
Traded to Washington in April 2021, Mantha opened his Capitals tenure by scoring in each of his first four games. Internationally he has been productive as well: at the 2019 World Championship he tied for tournament scoring with 14 points and helped Canada to a silver medal. Subsequent years brought further moves—traded to Vegas in March 2024, a one-year deal with Calgary in July 2024, and after additional transactions he signed a two-year contract with the New Jersey Devils in July 2026.
Mantha's game centres on offensive instincts and net-front effectiveness. As a winger he pairs heavy shot mechanics with a willingness to battle near the crease, traits that have translated into power-play value and a nose for timely goals.
