Teuvo Teravainen: our analysis
2025-26 season: 75 GP, 14 G, 21 A, 35 PTS, -30 +/-, 17:45 TOI. WAR 1.6 (89th of 615) · PAL 30, below average.
In 2025-26, Teuvo Teravainen, 32, posts a PAL Rating of 30 out of 100 (below average), and his WAR of 1.6 ranks 89th among 615 regulars, in the top quarter.
His strengths: penalty kill (87, among the best in the league), power play (84, well above average) and defense (64, above average). On the other hand, creation (3, among the weakest in the league) and possession (7, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: finishing (+4.3); his biggest cost: EV offense (-1.7).
A marked decline: his PAL was 58 in 2024-25, against 30 now; his WAR went from 1.9 to 1.6.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 16 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Teuvo Teravainen's story
A product of Jokerit's youth ranks, Teräväinen broke into Finland's top league as a 17-year-old and quickly earned a regular role with the club. He debuted in SM-liiga on 18 October 2011, played 40 games that season and received the Jarmo Wasama trophy as rookie of the year. Scouted both in Europe and by the KHL, he was taken 18th overall by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.
After a 44-game, 31-point season in Finland, he signed a three-year entry-level deal with Chicago and split time between the NHL and the AHL affiliate before making his Blackhawks debut on 25 March 2014. Teräväinen scored his first NHL goal on 16 January 2015 and made notable contributions during Chicago's 2015 playoff run, finishing with ten points in 18 postseason games as the club captured the Stanley Cup.
On 15 June 2016 he was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes. In Carolina his offensive role expanded; he set new career highs in his first season there and signed a contract extension on 15 June 2017 worth US$2.86 million per season. The 2017–18 campaign featured a natural hat-trick on 13 November 2017, a burst that helped him total 10 points across four games and culminated in a 64-point regular season. He later agreed to a five-year, $27 million extension on 21 January 2019.
Teräväinen played a central part in Carolina’s 2019 run to the Eastern Conference Final and remained a steady offensive presence in subsequent seasons, contributing during playoff appearances in 2020 and 2021. Internationally, he has excelled at junior level: he posted 11 points at the 2013 World Junior Championship, captained Finland to the 2014 final where he assisted all three goals in a 3–2 overtime victory over Sweden and finished as the tournament's leading scorer. He also represented Finland at the 2018 IIHF World Championship and earned an Olympic bronze medal in 2026.
On the ice, Teräväinen is defined by playmaking and offensive instincts. His ability to see the ice, execute passes and generate scoring chances—coupled with reliable skating—has made him a consistent creator on power plays and 5-on-5 situations throughout his career.
