Jonas Rondbjerg's story

Born 31 March 1999, Røndbjerg began his pro journey in Denmark with Rungsted Seier Capital, appearing in the Metal Ligaen in 2014–15. Those early seasons in his home country laid the groundwork for a move abroad to chase tougher competition and more development opportunities.

He relocated to Sweden before 2016–17 to join the Växjö Lakers in the SHL, where he split time between learning the league and contributing on the scoresheet. The 2017–18 campaign marked a personal high — 6 goals and 11 points in 35 games — and he followed with 4 goals across 44 games in 2018–19.

Selected 65th overall by the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, Røndbjerg signed a three-year entry-level contract with Vegas on 30 May 2019. He plays as a winger for the Golden Knights and extended his tenure with one-year deals signed on 6 July 2025 and again on 1 July 2026.

Internationally, Røndbjerg’s résumé includes four World Junior Championships and he wore the captain’s A for Denmark at the 2019 World Juniors, recording one goal and two points in six games. He stepped up to the senior national side in 2024 during the qualifiers for the 2026 Winter Olympics, scoring once as Denmark secured qualification.

Røndbjerg’s game is that of a winger who finds his spots offensively and contributes when it matters. After Vegas was eliminated from the 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs, he joined Denmark at the 2025 IIHF World Championship on home ice and opened the tournament with a two-goal performance against Norway on 17 May. He was later named to Denmark’s initial Olympic roster on 16 June 2025 but was ruled out due to injury shortly before the Games.

WAR and PAL ratings, 2023-24

How we rate →

PAL Rating scores performance from 0 to 100 against players at the same position (50 = average player), starting from the player's strength, offensive or defensive. Value Rating compares that performance with what the player costs: 50 means paid what the play is worth.
