Jimmy Snuggerud got a crash course in life in the NHL with the St. Louis Blues last season. He believes using what he learned in 14 games between the regular season and Stanley Cup Playoffs will provide a foundation for him to be a fixture as a top-six forward.

It was a clean sweep of a brief Western Canada road trip for the St. Louis Blues. The Blues followed up a second win in as many games after opening at home last Thursday with a solid 5-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena on Monday.

St. Louis Blues captain Brayden Schenn had very high praise for his rookie teammate after a win over the Vancouver Canucks.

Less than two minutes after Sherwood cut Vancouver’s deficit to a single goal with a short-handed tally, Bjugstad replied for the Blues. The centre fired a rocket from inside the top of the faceoff circle 13:45 into the second to make it 4-2 for St. Louis.

Below is the full checklist of 2025-26 Series One Young Guns class: 250 Ivan Demidov/Artyom Levshunov CL, Montreal/Chicago Canadiens/Blackhawks.

Robert Thomas and Brayden Schenn were among the players Montgomery said need to "grab the bull by the horns" after a season-opening loss.

The 2025-26 NHL season highlights exciting rookie talent. Montreal Canadiens’ Ivan Demidov, St. Louis Blues’ Jimmy Snuggerud. And Washington Capitals’ Ryan Leonard is expected to make an immediate impact.
