Mattias Janmark: our analysis

2025-26 season: 43 GP, 1 G, 7 A, 8 PTS, -8 +/-, 11:51 TOI. WAR -0.4 (552nd of 615) · PAL 23, below average.

In 2025-26, Mattias Janmark, 33, posts a PAL Rating of 23 out of 100 (below average), and his WAR of -0.4 ranks 552nd among 615 regulars, in the bottom quarter.

His strengths: penalty kill (80, well above average) and defense (69, above average). On the other hand, shooting (7, among the weakest in the league) and offense (7, 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 (-2.4).

A slight dip from 2024-25, when his PAL was 30; his WAR, though, went from -0.9 to -0.4.

Contract-wise, his Value score of 29 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.

Mattias Janmark's story

Raised around Stockholm, Janmark moved up through local clubs before establishing himself in AIK’s junior ranks and then the club’s senior team. He split time in his youth between U18 and U20 competition, posting notable totals in SuperElit before becoming a regular in Sweden’s top league, where his two-way instincts began to draw attention.

Those seasons in Sweden led to the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, when Detroit selected him 79th overall. After the 2013–14 campaign he had a brief amateur try-out with the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins in April 2014 but stayed in Sweden for 2014–15, signing a one-year deal with Frölunda before a trade sent him to Dallas the following March.

Janmark signed a two-year entry-level deal with the Stars in April 2015 and made an immediate impression in the NHL: he debuted on 8 October 2015 and scored on his first shot, just 99 seconds into the game. A knee injury forced him out for the entire 2016–17 season, yet he later earned a one-year extension with Dallas on 6 June 2019 and remained a regular contributor at the NHL level.

As a free agent after four seasons in the Stars organisation, he inked a one-year deal with the Chicago Blackhawks on 12 October 2020. On 12 April 2021 he was moved to the Vegas Golden Knights in a three-way transaction; he then recorded a hat trick in Game 7 of the first-round playoff series against the Minnesota Wild on 28 May 2021.

Janmark signed with the Edmonton Oilers on 17 July 2022 and was recalled from the Bakersfield Condors on 9 November following an injury in the NHL roster. He scored Edmonton’s tying goal in Game 7 of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final, though the team eventually lost. The Oilers re-signed him to a three-year extension on 1 July 2024. On the ice, Janmark is known for his positioning and knack for creating scoring chances through smart movement and quick reads.
