Mooney recorded three assists in the University of Minnesota's 8-4 win over the University of Wisconsin on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Mooney continues to thrive as a playmaker, earning six goals and 18 assists over 27 NCAA appearances this season. He also logged three assists in five contests for Team USA during the World Junior Championship. Mooney is a Canadiens prospect, selected in the fourth round of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, and he has the potential to be a middle-six playmaker in the long run.

Mooney scored a goal and added an assist in the University of Minnesota's 6-5 overtime win over the University of Denver on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Mooney is up to four goals and 13 points through 17 appearances this season. The 18-year-old is doing a fine job on offense in his freshman year. He's a long-term project for the Canadiens, who selected him in the fourth round of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, but the skill is already on display for the undersized forward.

Mooney scored a goal and added an assist in the University of Minnesota's 4-1 win over the University of Notre Dame on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Mooney wasn't initially expected to join Minnesota until next year, but he's done fine with seven points over 12 games this season. The freshman forward will have to rely on his skill and creativity as he continues his development, as he lacks size. Being small will likely lead to him playing on the wing as a professional, assuming he shows enough potential during his college years to keep the Canadiens interested after they took him in the fourth round of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft.
