Six-point weekend for the freshman
ROSEMONT, Ill. - Thanks to a six-point series, Minnesota men's hockey forward Jimmy Snuggerud landed Big Ten Conference Second Star of the Week accolades Tuesday.
Snuggerud was at his best during the weekend sweep of No. 15 Michigan State as the freshman tallied three goals and three assists, while holding a +6 rating. He had three points in each outing and now has a B1G-leading 13 games with multiple points and is second in the league with 37 points.
A native of Chaska, Minn., he had a goal and two assists Friday night during the Golden Gophers' 8-0 shutout of MSU. Snuggerud followed that performance with his third multi-goal effort of the season and added an assist Saturday. He has at least one point in 20 of 28 games played this year, totaling 26 points in 18 B1G contests.
It's the second time Snuggerud has been honored by the conference after being the First Star Oct. 11, while Minnesota has had a B1G Star of the Week 12 times this season from six different players.
