Jack St. Ivany: our analysis
2025-26 season: 20 GP, 0 G, 7 A, 7 PTS, +4 +/-, 16:20 TOI. WAR -0.2 (271st of 325) · PAL 40, around average.
In 2025-26, Jack St. Ivany, 27, posts a PAL Rating of 40 out of 100 (around average), and his WAR of -0.2 ranks 271st among 325 regulars, in the bottom quarter.

Contract-wise, his Value score of 53 (fair value) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Jack St. Ivany's story
Growing up in Manhattan Beach, California, Jack St. Ivany learned to skate and compete with the Los Angeles Jr. Kings before moving to the USHL with the Sioux Falls Stampede, where he sharpened the defensive tools that would carry him forward.
Selected 112th overall in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft by the Philadelphia Flyers, St. Ivany opted for the NCAA path to continue his development. He spent two seasons at Yale (2018–2020) then two at Boston College (2020–2022). His play in 2021–22 earned him a spot on the Hockey East Third-Team All-Star, a recognition that preceded his jump to the professional ranks.
After completing his four-year collegiate career he became a free agent on 15 August 2022 and five days later signed a two-year entry-level contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins. St. Ivany reached the NHL on 22 March 2024, debuting against the Dallas Stars. He recorded his first NHL point on 2 April 2024 with an assist on an Evgeni Malkin goal versus the New Jersey Devils. Pittsburgh signed him to a three-year deal on 21 May 2024.
His progress was interrupted by a lower-body injury announced on 2 October 2025 that sidelined him for at least six weeks. Following that period, he was traded to the Winnipeg Jets on 29 June 2026 in exchange for David Gustafsson, a move that moved him from Pittsburgh’s blue line to Winnipeg’s roster.
Internationally, St. Ivany represented the United States at the 2019 World Junior Championships. As a defenceman he is defined by structured positioning and the willingness to support offence when opportunities arise — qualities that helped him transition from youth hockey in California to the NHL.
