Jonas Siegenthaler (born 6 May 1997) is a Swiss professional ice hockey defenceman for the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Playing career[edit]
Siegenthaler made his National League A debut playing with ZSC Lions during the 2013–14 NLA season.[1] He was rated as a top prospect, projected as a possible first round selection in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, and was selected 57th overall by the Washington Capitals.[2]
On 30 July 2015, Siegenthaler was signed to a three-year entry-level contract with the Capitals. Siegenthaler remained with the ZSC Lions on loan for the 2015–16 season in order to further develop.[3] In 40 games with the Lions, Siegenthaler contributed 8 points from the blueline before the team suffered a first-round defeat in the post-season. On 16 March 2016, with the Lions season and his loan period at an end, he was reassigned to the Capitals AHL affiliate, the Hershey Bears.[4]
He also spent the 2016–17 season with the ZSC Lions. After being knocked out with the Lions in the NLA quarter finals, he returned to the Hershey Bears in mid-March 2017.[5]
The Capitals recalled Siegenthaler from Hershey on 8 November 2018, to play against the Columbus Blue Jackets the next night at home in his first NHL game.[6] Veteran Capitals defencemen Brooks Orpik (injured reserve) and John Carlson (day-to-day) were both unavailable to play.[7] Siegenthaler scored his first NHL point on 14 December 2018 in a 6–5 win over the Carolina Hurricanes, gaining the primary assist on a goal by Alexander Ovechkin.[8]
During the 2020–21 season, while approaching the NHL trade deadline, Siegenthaler was traded by the Capitals to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for a conditional third-round pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft on 11 April 2021.[9] On 9 July 2021, Siegenthaler signed a two-year, $2.25 million contract extension to remain with the Devils.[10] On 26 July 2022, the Devils and Siegenthaler agreed to a five-year, $17 million contract extension.[11]
Personal life[edit]
Siegenthaler's father is from Switzerland, while his mother is from Thailand.[12] He is the first known NHL player of Thai descent.[13]
International play[edit]
Siegenthaler competed with Team Switzerland at the 2013, 2014 and 2015 IIHF World U18 Championships. His outstanding play was recognized when he was named to the 2015 U18 WJC All-Star Team. He was also selected to participate at the 2014 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament.[citation needed]
He was chosen to skate, as a 17-year-old, with the Swiss U20 squad at the 2015 World Junior Ice Hockey Championship.[14]
Siegenthaler played his last WJC for Switzerland in 2017 where he tallied 6 points (1 goal and 5 assists) in 5 games and was Switzerland's most used player with over 25 minutes of ice-time per game.[citation needed]
