Mason Lohrei: our analysis
2025-26 season: 73 GP, 7 G, 19 A, 26 PTS, +17 +/-, 16:54 TOI. WAR -0.0 (232nd of 325) · PAL 35, below average.
In 2025-26, Mason Lohrei, 25, posts a PAL Rating of 35 out of 100 (below average), and his WAR of -0.0 ranks 232nd among 325 regulars, in the bottom half.
His strengths: power play (83, well above average), offense (78, well above average) and shooting (78, well above average). On the other hand, defense (4, among the weakest in the league) and possession (12, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: finishing (+1.9); his biggest cost: EV defense (-3.2).
A slight dip from 2024-25, when his PAL was 42; his WAR, though, went from -0.4 to -0.0.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 26 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Mason Lohrei's story
Born in Baton Rouge while his father coached in the ECHL, Mason Lohrei moved with his family to Pennsylvania and then Wisconsin, where he spent his youth hockey years before transferring to Culver Academies in Indiana. At Culver he switched from forward to defence as a sophomore to earn more playing time, a decision that reshaped his development path.
After junior stints that included time with the Green Bay Gamblers in the USHL, Lohrei was chosen by the Boston Bruins in the second round, 58th overall, at the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. He then matriculated at Ohio State, playing two seasons with the Buckeyes from 2021 to 2023; his freshman year saw him lead the team in assists and collect postseason recognition in the Big Ten.
Lohrei turned pro in March 2023 with an amateur tryout for the Providence Bruins, appearing in regular-season and playoff games with Boston's AHL affiliate. The next season he split time between Providence and Boston, making his NHL debut on November 2, 2023, and recording his first point that night; three days later he scored his first NHL goal. Over the course of his early NHL tenure he experienced notable highs in both regular season and playoff moments, finishing one campaign with five goals and 28 assists in 77 games, while also posting a league-low -43 plus/minus.
On June 23, 2025, Lohrei signed a two-year, $6.4 million extension with the Bruins. In subsequent seasons he moved through the lineup, receiving opportunities on the top pair and later being shifted down before regaining a larger role; he recorded his first multi-goal game on January 17, 2026. An upper-body injury cost him time late in that season, after which he returned to play key games as Boston clinched a playoff spot.
Internationally, Lohrei made his senior debut at the 2025 IIHF World Championship, appearing in five games and contributing to Team USA's gold medal, and rejoined the national team for the 2026 tournament. On the ice he is noted for creating offence from the back end—assists and puck movement—while continuing to refine the defensive side of his play.
