Jimmy Snuggerud is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/blues\/news\/snuggerud-named-nhl-rookie-of-the-month-for-march\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NHL&#8217;s rookie of the month for March<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">JIMMY SNUGGERUD IS YOUR <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NHL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@NHL<\/a> ROOKIE OF THE MONTH. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/stlblues?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#stlblues<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sRVLsnCjTD\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/sRVLsnCjTD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 St. Louis Blues (@StLouisBlues) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StLouisBlues\/status\/2039387466713412056?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 1, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5r\">This kid has been turning it up a notch, and he has really put the league on notice. <\/p>\n<p>The future relies on Snuggerud<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5x\">There is not much more to say than that the Blues future relies on the development of Snuggerud. He spearheads a very profitable pipeline of prospects. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"60\">With seven goals and eight assists for 15 points, he has earned his spot on the top-line alongside Robert Thomas and Dylan Holloway. The trio have been one of the best top-lines in all of hockey since the Olympic-break. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"63\">This is the first rookie of the month honor for Snuggerud, but this is surely the tip of the iceberg. The Calder Trophy is pretty much locked up with Matthew Schaefer of the New York Islanders revolutionizing the game as an 18-year-old. But, No. 21 from the Blue Note should get a couple of votes. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"66\">Now, as we enter the month of April, the focus for the Blues is on a playoff-push. With only four points seperating this franchise from a spot in the draft lottery and postseason play, this is going to be a hectic two weeks. Snuggerud is going to be a key component in whether this team sinks or swims. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"69\">The future is bright for Snuggerud, and the NHL made the right choice for their rookie of the month in March. <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The St. Louis Blues had a fantastic month of March, and it was capped off with a much&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":535311,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5120],"tags":[71,5,4,534,84,5285,5284],"class_list":{"0":"post-535310","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-st-louis-blues","8":"tag-blues","9":"tag-hockey","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-st-louis","12":"tag-st-louis-blues","13":"tag-stlouis","14":"tag-stlouisblues"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116331278986811913","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535310","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=535310"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535310\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/535311"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=535310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=535310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=535310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
