Jonny Brodzinski: our analysis
2025-26 season: 55 GP, 6 G, 10 A, 16 PTS, -1 +/-, 11:10 TOI. WAR -0.1 (470th of 615) · PAL 21, below average.
In 2025-26, Jonny Brodzinski, 33, posts a PAL Rating of 21 out of 100 (below average), and his WAR of -0.1 ranks 470th among 615 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
His strengths: discipline (70, above average). On the other hand, possession (15, among the weakest in the league) and penalty kill (28, below average) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: penalties (+0.9); his biggest cost: finishing (-1.4).
An improvement on 2024-25, when his PAL was 17; his WAR, though, went from 0.8 to -0.1.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 38 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Jonny Brodzinski's story
He grew up in the Minnesota hockey environment and moved from high school competition into the USHL with the Fargo Force, a path that clarified his role as a goal-minded forward. At Blaine High School he shared the ice with Nick Bjugstad, and those early seasons prepared him for a scoring role at higher levels.
Chosen 148th overall by the Los Angeles Kings in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, Brodzinski then spent three seasons with St. Cloud State University. As a freshman he led all NCAA rookies with 22 goals, and in 2014–15 he earned a spot on the NCHC All-Conference First Team. He finished his college career with 64 goals and 48 assists for 112 points in 120 games, numbers that signalled a consistent finish around the net.
The Kings signed him to a two-year entry-level deal on April 1, 2015, and assigned him to their AHL affiliate, the Ontario Reign. His AHL play led to an invitation to the 2017 AHL All-Star Game and a call-up to Los Angeles later that season; he made his NHL debut on March 25, 2017 against the New York Rangers, becoming the first King to wear number 76 and the first player from Los Angeles’s 2013 draft class to appear for the club.
Brodzinski moved between NHL and AHL duty in the following years. He signed a one-year, two-way contract with San Jose on July 2, 2019, made the Sharks’ opening night roster for 2019–20 but was placed on waivers after three games; with the Barracuda he posted 14 goals and 16 assists for 30 points in 44 games before the season was halted by COVID-19. He joined the New York Rangers organization on October 9, 2020, signed successive one-year and multi-year extensions through February 2024, and after six seasons in that system signed a one-year, $850,000 contract with the Washington Capitals for 2026–27.
Across levels his profile is that of a finisher: college and AHL scoring totals underscore his nose for the net and his ability to convert chances. He has built a professional role by producing goals and finding his way into scoring areas.
