Jonas Siegenthaler: our analysis
2025-26 season: 82 GP, 0 G, 16 A, 16 PTS, -9 +/-, 19:29 TOI. WAR -0.6 (306th of 325) · PAL 44, around average.
In 2025-26, Jonas Siegenthaler, 29, posts a PAL Rating of 44 out of 100 (around average), and his WAR of -0.6 ranks 306th among 325 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
His strengths: penalty kill (82, well above average) and defense (77, well above average). On the other hand, shooting (5, among the weakest in the league) and offense (6, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV defense (+3.8); his biggest cost: EV offense (-5.8).
A marked decline: his PAL was 85 in 2024-25, against 44 now; his WAR went from 0.4 to -0.6.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 34 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Jonas Siegenthaler's story
Raised in Zurich, Jonas Siegenthaler came up through Swiss junior ranks and made his senior debut with the ZSC Lions in the 2013–14 season. Early on he stood out as a defensively-minded prospect, earning opportunities with the Lions while still a teenager.
Ahead of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft he was considered a top prospect and Washington selected him 57th overall. The Capitals signed him to a three-year entry-level deal on 30 July 2015, but kept him on loan with ZSC for the 2015–16 season to continue his development. After that loan ended in March 2016 he was reassigned to Washington’s AHL affiliate, the Hershey Bears, and split time between Switzerland and Hershey as he matured as a pro.
Washington recalled him from Hershey on 8 November 2018 and he made his NHL debut the following night. He recorded his first NHL point on 14 December 2018, a primary assist on an Alexander Ovechkin goal in a 6–5 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. On 11 April 2021 the Capitals traded Siegenthaler to the New Jersey Devils for a conditional third-round pick; he then re-signed in New Jersey on 9 July 2021 to a two-year, $2.25 million deal and agreed to a five-year, $17 million extension on 26 July 2022.
Internationally, Siegenthaler represented Switzerland at multiple junior world events: three IIHF U18 World Championships (2013–2015), where he was named to the U18 World Championship All-Star Team in 2015, and at the Ivan Hlinka tournament in 2014. He skated for the Swiss at the World Junior Championships in 2015 as a 17-year-old and again in 2017, when he posted six points in five games and led his team in ice time at over 25 minutes per game. He was part of the Swiss squad that won silver at the 2024 IIHF World Championship.
Siegenthaler’s game is defined by dependable defensive play and heavy usage. Coaches have leaned on him for long minutes, and he has shown a willingness to block shots — an attribute that contributed to a broken foot in January 2024. That mix of steady defence and international experience underpins his role with his NHL club. He is also noted as the first known NHL player of Thai descent.
