Boone Jenner: our analysis
2025-26 season: 67 GP, 13 G, 25 A, 38 PTS, +3 +/-, 16:05 TOI. WAR -0.2 (525th of 615) · PAL 31, below average.
In 2025-26, Boone Jenner, 33, posts a PAL Rating of 31 out of 100 (below average), and his WAR of -0.2 ranks 525th among 615 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
His strengths: creation (80, well above average) and offense (66, above average). On the other hand, penalty kill (2, among the weakest in the league) and discipline (14, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV offense (+3.0); his biggest cost: finishing (-4.5).
A marked decline: his PAL was 62 in 2024-25, against 31 now; his WAR went from 0.0 to -0.2.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 22 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Boone Jenner's story
Growing up near London, Ontario, Boone Jenner developed his athletic base playing both hockey and lacrosse in Mossley and Dorchester. He progressed through local minor programs, captaining the Elgin Middlesex Chiefs at the OHL Cup before being taken fourth overall by the Oshawa Generals in the 2009 OHL Priority Selection. That early leadership set the tone for his junior career.
Jenner spent four productive seasons in the OHL with the Generals, finishing his major junior tenure with 246 points in 227 games. He wore the captaincy and produced both goals and playmaking, performances that led to his selection by Columbus at 37th overall in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. Along the way he represented Canada at several junior tournaments and developed a reputation as a hard-working two-way forward.
His pro debut came with Springfield in the AHL, and Jenner broke into the NHL during the 2013–14 campaign. He scored his first NHL goals in October 2013 and quickly became known for a physical forecheck and willingness to engage along the boards. Injuries interrupted some seasons, but he returned to post career highs, including a 30-goal season, and eventually earned a multi-year contract to remain with the club that drafted him.
Internationally, Jenner has worn Canadian colours at both junior and senior levels, contributing to medal-winning squads at world junior events and at the IIHF World Championship. Those selections underline a player trusted in tournament settings for his competitive drive and adaptable role play.
On the ice, Jenner combines net-front work, dependable defensive coverage and a physical edge. Comfortable at centre or on the wing, he brings intensity to puck battles, stays active on the forecheck and finishes chances around the crease. His mix of grit and scoring touch defines the type of forward teams deploy when they need both posture and production.
