Mikhail Sergachev: our analysis
2025-26 season: 78 GP, 10 G, 49 A, 59 PTS, +2 +/-, 24:18 TOI. WAR 1.8 (27th of 325) · PAL 83, excellent.
In 2025-26, Mikhail Sergachev, 28, posts a PAL Rating of 83 out of 100 (excellent), and his WAR of 1.8 ranks 27th among 325 regulars, in the top quarter.
His strengths: power play (99, among the best in the league), offense (87, among the best in the league) and shooting (84, well above average). On the other hand, defense (19, well below average) holds him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV offense (+5.0); his biggest cost: EV defense (-1.9).
A slight dip from 2024-25, when his PAL was 86; his WAR went from 2.5 to 1.8.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 69 (good value) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Mikhail Sergachev's story
His path started in Nizhnekamsk and the Neftekhimik system before moving to Irbis Kazan in the MHL; from there Sergachev opted for North America after being taken sixth in the 2015 CHL Import Draft by the Windsor Spitfires.
The OHL stint accelerated his profile. In his rookie season with Windsor he finished among the top-scoring defencemen and received the Max Kaminsky Trophy as the league's outstanding defenceman. He also played a key role in Windsor's Memorial Cup run, helping the Spitfires win the tournament in May 2017 and earning All-Star recognition at the event.
Montreal selected him ninth overall at the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, and he signed a three-year entry-level contract on 1 July 2016. He made his NHL debut for the Canadiens on 13 October 2016 but was returned to junior later that month to continue his development. On 15 June 2017 Montreal traded him to the Tampa Bay Lightning in a deal that included conditional draft considerations.
In Tampa Bay he quickly became a regular. He recorded his first Lightning point on 6 October 2017 and scored his first two NHL goals on 19 October 2017. His playoff milestones included a first playoff assist on 12 April 2018 and a first playoff goal on 21 April 2018 that helped close out a series; those early postseason contributions preceded Tampa Bay's back-to-back Stanley Cup victories in 2020 and 2021. Contract extensions followed: a three-year deal in November 2020 and an eight-year, $60 million extension in July 2022.
On 29 June 2024 Tampa Bay traded Sergachev to the Utah Hockey Club (now the Utah Mammoth). Internationally he has worn Russian colours at junior levels. Standing 6'3", his game blends offensive instincts from the blue line with defensive duties—he joins the attack when the opportunity presents itself while remaining responsible in his own end.
