Jordan Greenway: our analysis
2025-26 season: 40 GP, 1 G, 5 A, 6 PTS, -10 +/-, 12:27 TOI. WAR -0.3 (549th of 615) · PAL 7, very poor.
In 2025-26, Jordan Greenway, 29, posts a PAL Rating of 7 out of 100 (very poor), and his WAR of -0.3 ranks 549th among 615 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
His strengths: penalty kill (89, among the best in the league). On the other hand, shooting (0, among the weakest in the league) and creation (2, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV defense (+0.5); his biggest cost: finishing (-1.5).
A marked decline: his PAL was 34 in 2024-25, against 7 now; his WAR went from -0.0 to -0.3.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 5 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Jordan Greenway's story
Growing up in Potsdam after his birth in Canton, Jordan Greenway moved through elite development routes early on. He left for Shattuck-Saint Mary’s in Minnesota for high school hockey, then joined the U.S. National Team Development Program, spending the 2013–14 and 2014–15 seasons in the USHL and skating in the 2014 CCM/USA Hockey All-American Prospects Game. Those stops established him as a prospect with size and two-way potential.
Selected 50th overall by the Minnesota Wild in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, Greenway opted for Boston University to continue his progression. He played his freshman year in 2015–16 with the Terriers and later reached the 30-point mark in subsequent seasons. His junior campaign earned him a place on the Hockey East Third All-Star Team, and he was also named to the Hockey East All-Tournament Team in 2018 alongside teammates Jake Oettinger and Chad Krys.
Greenway turned pro on 26 March 2018, signing a three-year entry-level deal with the Wild and making his NHL debut the next day versus Nashville. That spring he made his first playoff appearance and scored his first NHL goal in the 6–2 win over Winnipeg on 15 April. During the same overall season he uniquely combined Olympic duty, an NCAA tournament and Stanley Cup playoff action. The following year he began in the NHL but was sent to the AHL to refine his game, where he responded with a hat trick for the Colorado Eagles and was quickly recalled; his first regular-season NHL goal came on 29 October against Vancouver.
Minnesota re-signed him to a three-year contract extension on 31 January 2022, but he was traded to the Buffalo Sabres at the 3 March 2023 deadline in exchange for draft assets. On 23 June 2026 the Sabres included him, along with Bowen Byram, in a deal that sent him to the Chicago Blackhawks.
Internationally, Greenway helped the U.S. to gold at the 2014 World U-17 Hockey Challenge and at the 2015 IIHF World U18 Championships, later joining the senior national team at the 2017 IIHF World Championship and earning selection to the 2018 Olympic roster — noted as the first African-American named to a U.S. Olympic hockey roster. On the ice he is known for his physical presence, willingness to battle around the net and adaptability to varied forward roles.
