The fifth overall selection from the 2024 NHL Draft became the seventh rookie in Canadiens history to register 60 points in a single season and the fourth to accumulate at least 40 assists. Demidov also finished 2025-26 among the top NHL rookies in assists (1st; 43), even-strength assists (1st; 30), power-play assists (1st; 13), power-play points (1st; 20), multi-point performances (t-1st; 14), power-play goals (2nd; 7), even-strength points (t-2nd; 42), game-winning goals (t-3rd; 4), shooting percentage (4th; 15.0% \u2013 minimum: 82 SOG), goals (6th; 19) and shots on goal (9th; 127). The 20-year-old Demidov is the third Montreal forward who has been voted to the All-Rookie Team this century, after\u00a0Nick Suzuki (2019-20), Brendan Gallagher (2012-13) and Michael Ryder (2003-04). His selection with Dobes also marks the third time that multiple Canadiens players have earned All-Rookie honors in the same season, with the other instances coming in 1985-86 (Kjell Dahlin and Patrick Roy) and 1984-85 (Chris Chelios and Steve Penney).<\/p>\n<p>Beckett Sennecke, Anaheim Ducks<\/p>\n<p>Sennecke, the third overall pick from the 2024 NHL Draft, shared the rookie lead with 23 goals and ranked second with 60 points (23-37\u201460) while skating in 82 contests as Anaheim returned to the playoffs for the first time since 2017-18. Sennecke\u2019s 23 goals matched the third-most in a single season by a Ducks rookie, while his 37 assists and 60 points both were one shy of the franchise rookie record established by\u00a0Trevor Zegras in 2021-22 (23-38\u201461 in 75 GP). Sennecke additionally became the third rookie in franchise history to appear in all 82 games of a given season, joining Cutter Gauthier (2024-25) and Dustin Penner (2006-07). Among 2025-26 rookies, Sennecke placed in the top five in the NHL in even-strength goals (1st; 21), even-strength points (1st; 46), multi-point performances (t-1st; 14), assists (2nd; 37), power-play assists (2nd; 12), shots on goal (2nd; 197), even-strength assists (4th; 25), total time on ice (4th; 1,430:30) and power-play points (t-4th; 13). The 20-year-old Sennecke is the fifth Ducks forward \u2013 and second in as many seasons \u2013 who has been selected to the All-Rookie Team, following Gauthier (2024-25), Zegras (2021-22), Bobby Ryan (2008-09) and Paul Kariya (1994-95).<\/p>\n<p>Jimmy Snuggerud, St. Louis Blues<\/p>\n<p>Snuggerud, the 23rd overall choice from the 2022 NHL Draft, ranked fourth among rookies with 21-30\u201451 and a +16 rating in 70 contests, highlighted by a rookie-best 11 goals, 16 assists, 27 points and +21 rating in 25 games after the League returned from the Olympic break. He became the seventh Blues rookie to record a 50-point season (and the first since\u00a0Nelson Emerson in 1991-92: 23\u201136\u201459 in 79 GP) as well as the 10th to post a 20-goal campaign (and the first since Patrik Berglund in 2008-09: 21 G in 76 GP). Snuggerud also placed among the 2025-26 rookie leaders in game-winning goals (t-1st; 5), even-strength assists (t-2nd; 26), even-strength points (t-2nd; 42), multi-point performances (3rd; 13), shots on goal (3rd; 169), even-strength goals (t-3rd; 16), power-play goals (t-3rd; 5), goals (4th; 21), assists (4th; 30), takeaways (t-8th; 24) and power-play points (10th; 9). The 22-year-old Snuggerud is the fourth St. Louis forward who has been voted to the All-Rookie Team, joining Berglund (2008-09), Jim Campbell (1996-97) and Rod Brind\u2019Amour (1989-90).<\/p>\n<p>*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Forwards\u00a0(in alphabetical order) Ivan Demidov, Montreal Canadiens Demidov, a unanimous choice for the All-Rookie Team, led rookies with&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":358541,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164],"class_list":["post-358540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=358540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358540\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/358541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=358540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=358540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=358540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
