Snuggerud became the first St. Louis rookie to accumulate at least 15 points in a single calendar month since November 1989, when Rod Brind’Amour totaled 6 goals and 9 assists (15 points) across 14 contests. Snuggerud also became the fourth Blues rookie this century to score at least seven goals in one calendar month, joining Zachary Bolduc (8 in March 2025), David Backes (7 in February 2007) and Marty Reasoner (7 in February 2000).
The 21-year-old Snuggerud, a first-round pick (23rd overall) from the 2022 NHL Draft, has registered 17 goals and 22 assists for a total of 39 points through 61 total games this season. He ranks among the rookie leaders in game-winning goals (1st with 5), power-play goals (tied for 3rd with 4), goals (tied for 4th with 17), points (tied for 4th with 39), shots on goal (5th with 144), assists (tied for 5th with 22), plus/minus (6th with a +8 rating) and power-play points (tied for 10th with 8). Snuggerud is on track to become the third St. Louis rookie in the past 30 years to achieve at least 40 points in a season, following Patrik Berglund (47 points in 2008-09) and Jim Campbell (43 points in 1996-97).
Snuggerud, who has been named the “Rookie of the Month” for February, is the first Blues player to receive this honor since goaltender Jordan Binnington in March and February 2019. He is also the first St. Louis skater in 13 years to be recognized, following right wing Vladimir Tarasenko in January 2013.
