Mark Scheifele: our analysis
2025-26 season: 82 GP, 36 G, 67 A, 103 PTS, 0 +/-, 21:30 TOI. WAR 2.9 (34th of 615) · PAL 45, around average.
In 2025-26, Mark Scheifele, 33, posts a PAL Rating of 45 out of 100 (around average), and his WAR of 2.9 ranks 34th among 615 regulars, in the top quarter.
His strengths: offense (97, among the best in the league), power play (87, among the best in the league) and discipline (86, among the best in the league). On the other hand, defense (1, among the weakest in the league) and penalty kill (10, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: finishing (+9.6); his biggest cost: EV defense (-7.2).
A marked decline: his PAL was 71 in 2024-25, against 45 now; his WAR went from 3.8 to 2.9.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 23 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Mark Scheifele's story
Growing up in Kitchener, Scheifele moved through local programs where he began as a defenceman before being switched to the forward corps. He spent time with the Kitchener Jr. Rangers and a season with the Kitchener Dutchmen in Jr.B., then accepted — and later reversed — an NCAA path to join the Barrie Colts after his junior rights were traded in 2010.
His junior play drew attention: he was invited to the CHL/NHL Top Prospects game and finished among the top OHL prospects ahead of the 2011 draft. Winnipeg selected him seventh overall in 2011, the franchise’s first draft pick after relocating from Atlanta. Scheifele made his NHL debut that autumn, scored his first NHL goal on October 19, 2011 against James Reimer, and then returned to junior ranks before appearing in the AHL Calder Cup playoffs with St. John’s.
On the pro roster he grew into a steady top-six centre. After securing a full season in 2013–14 despite a late knee injury, he broke 20 goals in 2015–16 and recorded his first NHL hat-trick on March 5, 2016 versus Montreal, finishing that year with 61 points in 71 games and earning an eight-year contract extension. Elevated to alternate captain in 2016–17, he led the Jets in scoring the next season and posted 82 points in 79 contests.
Scheifele’s playoff résumé includes a notable run in 2018 when he set a mark for road goals in a single postseason. The 2019–20 campaign saw him at 73 points through 71 games before the COVID-19 pause; he later suffered an Achilles tendon injury during the return-to-play seeding round. Back in 2020–21 he reached 500 career NHL points on May 6, 2021 and closed that regular season with 21 goals and 42 assists for 63 points in 56 games, before a four-game suspension during the 2021 playoffs.
In practical terms, Scheifele brings a two-way centre’s physicality combined with consistent offensive output and special-teams value. He centres top lines, logs heavy minutes, and is regularly relied upon to sustain the Jets’ attack and lead within the dressing room.
