Unveiled: The 5 Rising Stars in Upper Deck’s 2025-26 Series One You Can’t Afford to Miss!
Snuggerud was a first-round draft pick of the Blues in 2022. He played the final seven games of the 2024-25 season, scoring a goal with three helpers in those games. He also added two goals and two assists in the Blues’ seven-game playoff series against Winnipeg. The 21-year-old forward is off to a hot start this season as well, with two goals and three points in the team’s first three games before the release of his Young Guns.
3. Ryan Leonard, Washington Capitals.
Leonard had a great NCAA collegiate career, notching 61 goals across two seasons with Boston College. He also captained Team USA’s U20 team at last year’s World Junior Championships, where he tallied five goals and five assists in 10 games. He’s gotten off to a slower start at the NHL level with just two goals in his first 14 games, but the scoring abilities are off the charts, and he’s expected to be a big-time piece of the post-Ovechkin puzzle in Washington once ‘8’ hangs them up.
