Jordan Kyrou: our analysis

2025-26 season: 72 GP, 18 G, 28 A, 46 PTS, -5 +/-, 15:44 TOI. WAR 1.5 (106th of 615) · PAL 91, elite.

In 2025-26, Jordan Kyrou, 28, posts a PAL Rating of 91 out of 100 (elite), and his WAR of 1.5 ranks 106th among 615 regulars, in the top quarter.

His strengths: possession (98, among the best in the league), defense (95, among the best in the league) and offense (71, above average). On the other hand, penalty kill (17, well below average) holds him back.

Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV offense (+4.1); his biggest cost: finishing (-2.3).

An improvement on 2024-25, when his PAL was 88; his WAR, though, went from 4.1 to 1.5.

Contract-wise, his Value score of 83 (very good contract) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.

Jordan Kyrou's story

Moving to Mississauga as a youth, Jordan Kyrou came up through Ontario’s minor hockey ranks before stepping into major junior with the Sarnia Sting. After a spell with the Mississauga AAA Senators, he was taken in the OHL Priority Selection by Sarnia in 2014 and made his OHL debut that 2014–15 season, appearing in 63 games and beginning to show his offensive instincts.

Kyrou developed into a leading scorer and a locker-room presence in Sarnia: he signed a standard player’s contract with the Sting in July 2014 and was named captain prior to his fourth season. His breakout 2017–18 campaign — capped by 109 points and recognition as the OHL’s top-scoring right winger — helped lift his draft stock and led to his selection 35th overall in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.

St. Louis brought him into their system with a three-year entry-level contract in July 2016. Kyrou made the Blues’ opening-night roster for 2018–19 and logged his first NHL point and first goal that season. Early professional years included stints in the AHL with San Antonio, recalls to St. Louis, and incremental responsibilities at the NHL level; the Blues re-signed him to a two-year deal in August 2021 and later to an eight-year extension in September 2022. He was named to the 2022 NHL All-Star Game and won the Fastest Skater contest.

On the international stage Kyrou was a member of Canada’s gold-medal team at the 2018 World Junior Championships, an achievement that marked his résumé among young Canadian forwards.

Kyrou’s game is straightforward: elite skating paired with offensive creativity. He uses speed to generate chances off the rush and to separate from defenders, producing both assists and goals in transition. His profile led to a major roster move on June 23, 2026, when he was traded to the Washington Capitals in exchange for Milton Gästrin, Connor McMichael and a 2026 first-round pick.
