Jordan Martinook: our analysis
2025-26 season: 77 GP, 12 G, 17 A, 29 PTS, +6 +/-, 14:50 TOI. WAR 0.6 (227th of 615) · PAL 73, very good.
In 2025-26, Jordan Martinook, 34, posts a PAL Rating of 73 out of 100 (very good), and his WAR of 0.6 ranks 227th among 615 regulars, in the top half.
His strengths: penalty kill (95, among the best in the league), possession (90, among the best in the league) and defense (76, well above average). On the other hand, shooting (17, well below average) and power play (28, below average) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV offense (+2.2); his biggest cost: finishing (-4.0).
A marked decline: his PAL was 84 in 2024-25, against 73 now; his WAR went from 1.0 to 0.6.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 70 (good value) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Jordan Martinook's story
Growing up in Leduc after being born in Brandon, Jordan Martinook cut his teeth with the Leduc Oil Kings before moving on to the Drayton Valley Thunder of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. He appeared in two games for the Thunder as a 16-year-old and then played the full 2009–10 campaign, posting 21 goals and 19 assists in 59 contests. Attempts to make the Lethbridge Hurricanes' roster and protected list came up short, and Vancouver eventually acquired his junior rights in 2010.
Martinook spent 2010–2012 with the Vancouver Giants in the Western Hockey League, where over two seasons he totalled 51 goals and 41 assists for 92 points while accumulating 147 penalty minutes in 144 games. Those performances led to his selection by the Phoenix Coyotes at 58th overall in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. That same year he moved into the pro ranks, including time in the American Hockey League, and signed a three-year entry-level deal with Phoenix on 1 September 2012.
He grew into a dependable bottom-six forward in Phoenix, earning roster regularity and contract renewals: a two-way agreement in July 2015 and a two-year, $3.6 million deal in July 2017. On 3 May 2018 the Coyotes traded Martinook and a fourth-round pick to the Carolina Hurricanes for Marcus Krüger and a third-round pick, prompting a fresh chapter in his career.
With Carolina he delivered some notable moments, including his first NHL hat-trick on 23 November 2018 versus the Florida Panthers. His tenure has included setbacks—lower-body and core issues that led to surgery and missed playoff games—but also leadership responsibilities; he was named an alternate captain alongside Jaccob Slavin and captain Jordan Staal. He was placed on the NHL COVID-19 protocol list on 19 January 2021, underwent meniscal debridement in the 2021 off-season, and signed a three-year, $5.4 million contract extension while rehabbing.
Martinook's game is built on physicality, defensive reliability and willingness to play in heavy minutes; he brings hits, forechecking and balance to lower lines. Off the ice he and his wife Courtney have three children. In 2026 he reached the pinnacle of team success by winning the Stanley Cup with the Hurricanes.
