This was after the 20-year-old forward posted 24 goals, 27 assists, and 51 points in 40 games this season with the University of Minnesota. Following signing his ELC, Snuggerud quickly made his NHL debut with the Blues [https://news.google.com/publications/CAAqLQgKIidDQklTRndnTWFoTUtFWFJvWldodlkydGxlVzVsZDNNdVkyOXRLQUFQAQ/sections/CAQqEAgAKgcICjCvqtILMO7F6QMwreDfCA?hl=en-CA&gl=CA&ceid=CA:en] on April 1 against the Detroit Red Wings. During it, the 2022 first-round pick did not look out of place and recorded two shots in 10:43 of ice time. During the Blues' following matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins on April 3, Snuggerud took another step forward. The Minnesota native recorded his first NHL point by picking up the primary assist on Jake Neighbours' third-period goal. Snuggerud showed off his impressive playmaking skills leading up to the goal, too. While stickhandling the puck in the offensive zone, Snuggerud made a perfect feed [https://x.com/NHL/status/1907979096501461468] across the slot to Neighbours before the latter fired it home. This was a great play from Snuggerud, and the young forward showed just how solid of a passer he is with it. Overall, the youngster is fitting in quite nicely with the Blues early on, and it will be fascinating to see how he builds off this from here.
