Barclay Goodrow: our analysis
2025-26 season: 82 GP, 5 G, 7 A, 12 PTS, -18 +/-, 11:21 TOI. WAR -1.0 (607th of 615) · PAL 10, very poor.
In 2025-26, Barclay Goodrow, 33, posts a PAL Rating of 10 out of 100 (very poor), and his WAR of -1.0 ranks 607th among 615 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
His strengths: penalty kill (97, among the best in the league). On the other hand, offense (2, among the weakest in the league) and possession (4, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: penalty kill (+0.9); his biggest cost: finishing (-3.5).
A clear step forward: his PAL went from 2 in 2024-25 to 10; his WAR went from -1.6 to -1.0.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 8 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Barclay Goodrow's story
Growing up in Aurora after being born in Toronto, Goodrow moved steadily through the Ontario minor-hockey system before becoming a junior mainstay. Chosen in the first round by the Brampton Battalion in 2009, he spent five seasons with the club — later the North Bay Battalion — and wore a leadership mantle in his final junior campaigns. Those years built his reputation as a hardworking, two-way forward with an ability to chip in offensively.
Although he produced throughout his OHL career and received invites to multiple NHL development camps, Goodrow went unselected in the NHL draft. He eventually earned an NHL entry-level contract with the San Jose Sharks on March 6, 2014, and began his professional career shuttling between San Jose and its AHL affiliates. The early pro years were a mix of NHL appearances and longer stints in the minors where he refined his game.
With San Jose, Goodrow recorded his first NHL goal in December 2014 and logged regular shifts over subsequent seasons, but much of his development came with the AHL Barracuda. There he posted 25-goal campaigns and helped the franchise to its first playoff series victory in the 2017 Calder Cup playoffs. San Jose rewarded his progress with contract extensions and repeated recalls, and he became known for his adaptability and team-first approach.
A turning point arrived on February 24, 2020, when Goodrow was traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning. He slotted into the Lightning’s lower lines and special-teams units and was part of back-to-back Stanley Cup winners in 2020 and 2021. Later the Lightning traded his signing rights to the New York Rangers in July 2021; following his time in New York he was placed on waivers and reclaimed by San Jose in June 2024.
Goodrow’s game is defined by versatility and physical commitment. He kills penalties, contributes on the power play, plays both wings and has filled in at center. Coaches and teammates have highlighted his willingness to take on varied roles — penalty killing, draws on his strong side, even top-line minutes in certain matchups — making him a dependable depth forward.
