Kevin Stenlund: our analysis
2025-26 season: 80 GP, 4 G, 14 A, 18 PTS, -9 +/-, 14:29 TOI. WAR -1.3 (613th of 615) · PAL 4, very poor.
In 2025-26, Kevin Stenlund, 30, posts a PAL Rating of 4 out of 100 (very poor), and his WAR of -1.3 ranks 613th among 615 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
His strengths: defense (63, above average). On the other hand, shooting (1, among the weakest in the league) and penalty kill (4, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV defense (+0.7); his biggest cost: finishing (-4.8).
A marked decline: his PAL was 36 in 2024-25, against 4 now; his WAR went from 0.2 to -1.3.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 5 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Kevin Stenlund's story
Raised in Stockholm and first developed at IFK Tumba before moving into HV71’s youth ranks, Kevin Stenlund made his senior debut in the SHL during the 2014–15 season. HV71 kept him on with a two-year extension signed 30 May 2015 so he could continue to develop in Sweden.
Selected 58th overall by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, Stenlund eventually crossed the Atlantic after signing his three-year entry-level contract on 23 May 2017. He spent the 2017–18 season back in Sweden on loan with HV71, contributing 15 assists and 22 points in 43 games and helping the club to the Le Mat trophy in 2017, before being reassigned to Cleveland late in the campaign.
His North American pro path included time with the AHL’s Cleveland Monsters after the move on 17 March 2018. He reached the NHL milestone of a first game on 12 January 2019 and scored his first league goal on 17 December 2019. Columbus re-signed him to a one-year deal on 17 June 2021 as he continued to split time between the NHL and the organization’s minor-league ranks.
As a free agent, Stenlund signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Winnipeg Jets on 13 July 2022 and began the 2022–23 season with the Manitoba Moose before earning a recall; he finished that NHL regular season with 6 goals and 9 points in 54 games. On 1 July 2023 he agreed to a one-year, US$1 million contract with the Florida Panthers and played 21 playoff games in 2024, registering one assist as the Panthers won the Stanley Cup on 24 June 2024.
Entering free agency again, he signed a two-year, US$4 million deal with the Utah Mammoth on 1 July 2024. A forward by trade, Stenlund’s trajectory shows steady, role-player development: success in Sweden’s top league, time spent sharpening his game in the AHL, and the ability to fill depth and penalty-killing responsibilities at the NHL level while providing occasional secondary offence.
