Christian Dvorak: our analysis
2025-26 season: 80 GP, 18 G, 33 A, 51 PTS, +11 +/-, 18:28 TOI. WAR -0.9 (601st of 615) · PAL 21, below average.
In 2025-26, Christian Dvorak, 30, posts a PAL Rating of 21 out of 100 (below average), and his WAR of -0.9 ranks 601st among 615 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
His strengths: creation (77, well above average), power play (67, above average) and offense (66, above average). On the other hand, penalty kill (1, among the weakest in the league) and possession (20, well below average) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: power play (+0.8); his biggest cost: finishing (-6.2).
A clear step forward: his PAL went from 10 in 2024-25 to 21; his WAR, though, went from -0.7 to -0.9.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 11 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Christian Dvorak's story
Growing up in Frankfort, Illinois, Christian Dvorak came through U.S. youth programs before moving north to challenge himself in Canadian junior hockey. Time with the Chicago Mission and a season in the USHL prepared him for the step to the London Knights, where he would complete his major junior development.
Arizona noticed him at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, choosing him 58th overall, and Dvorak signed his first pro deal in April 2015. He had a brief AHL stint with the Portland Pirates on an amateur tryout before returning to London. There he produced back-to-back high-scoring seasons: 109 points in 2014–15, then an even bigger breakout with 121 points and 52 goals in 2015–16, helping the Knights capture both the OHL championship and the Memorial Cup.
Dvorak made the jump to the NHL with the Coyotes, scoring his first league goal in November 2016. He established himself as an NHL centre over subsequent seasons, earning a multi-year extension in 2018 and posting career-high totals of 18 goals and 38 points in one campaign. Injuries interrupted several seasons—including pectoral surgery in 2018–19—but he returned to contribute at the top level.
A trade in September 2021 sent him to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for draft picks. In Montreal he had notable moments: a four-point preseason debut and, on October 29, 2022, his first career hat-trick in a 7–4 win over St. Louis. He reached milestones such as his 400th and 500th NHL games and scored his 100th NHL goal in March 2025. The Canadiens years also included significant injuries that cut short parts of multiple seasons.
Internationally, Dvorak represented the United States at the 2016 World Junior Championship, earning a bronze medal and recording eight points in seven games. On the ice he is a centre known for dependable faceoff work, defensive responsibility and the ability to generate scoring opportunities for linemates and himself.
