One of each in win
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.
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to fall in NHL draft
Mooney is expected to drop to the third or fourth round due to his size, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports Monday.
ANALYSIS
Mooney comes in at just 5-foot-7, which is likely going to discourage several NHL teams from taking him early in the draft. The 18-year-old center's size didn't stop him from generating five goals and 23 assists in 26 games with the US Development Team this past season. Even if Mooney does go earlier in the draft, he is a long-term prospect for both NHL teams and fantasy managers. Mooney is slated to join the University of Minnesota starting with the 2026-27 campaign.
