On waivers Tuesday Rooney was placed on waivers by the Mammoth on Tuesday.

Impact Rooney's waiver designation could be an indication that Olli Maatta (upper body) or Juuso Valimaki (knee) will be ready to come off injured reserve. Assuming Rooney passes through waivers, he figures to find himself shipped down to AHL Tucson.

Tallies in team debut Rooney scored a goal in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.

Impact This was Rooney's Mammoth debut, and he was able to make a contribution on offense. The 32-year-old got into the lineup because Barrett Hayton (illness) was unavailable. Rooney is likely to be a part-time option at best moving forward, and he's also just as likely to end up back at AHL Tucson eventually.

Headed back to AHL Rooney is headed back to AHL Tucson, the team announced Sunday.

Impact Rooney was a healthy scratch for the entirety of this stint at the NHL and is still seeking his first NHL appearance of the season.

Sent to AHL Rooney was assigned to AHL Tucson on Friday.

Impact Rooney spent just over three weeks with the Mammoth, but he didn't appear in any games during his time with the NHL club.

Impact Rooney will trade places with Andrew Agozzino, who was sent down in a corresponding move after passing through waivers. In four games with the Roadrunners this year, the 32-year-old Rooney has notched three goals and one helper. Whether Rooney suits up against the Blues on Thursday will likely depend on the health of Jack McBain (upper body).

Links up with new club Rooney inked a one-year, two-way contract with the Mammoth on Monday, per PuckPedia.

Impact Rooney signed a professional tryout agreement with the Devils in early September, but it seems as though his play in the preseason earned him a full contract with his new club. Considering he's on a two-way deal, the veteran center might begin the 2025-26 season in the minors, but he could be called up at some point during the early portion of the year if Alex Kerfoot (lower body) misses substantial time.

Impact Rooney will compete for the fourth-line center job with the Devils during training camp. If he performs well, he'll be in contention for a full contract, likely a two-way deal. He played on a $1.3 million contract with the Flames last year but racked up just 10 points with 109 hits, 39 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 70 appearances.

Impact The fourth-liner stretched the Flames' lead to 3-1 at 15:19 of the second period. Rooney has picked up the pace a little with a goal and two assists over his last six outings.

Posts assist Tuesday Rooney logged an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.

Impact Rooney has three helpers over 12 games in March, though his assist Tuesday snapped a five-game skid. The 31-year-old center has played exclusively on the fourth line when in the lineup, offering minimal fantasy value on a low-scoring team. He's at eight points, 46 shots on net, 94 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 59 appearances.

Logs shorthanded helper Rooney notched a shorthanded assist and two hits in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Canucks.

Impact Rooney has two helpers over his last four outings. The 31-year-old center could see more ice time in the near term if Mikael Backlund (upper body) misses time after exiting early Wednesday. It's also possible the Flames turn to other forwards to fill the gap rather than let Rooney see more than fourth-line minutes. For the season, Rooney has seven points, 39 shots on net, 83 hits, 32 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 53 appearances.

Cashes in for goal Rooney scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Rooney buried a goal from close range at 3:35 of the second period, giving the Flames their first lead of the contest. It was his first point in over two months -- he last got on the scoresheet Dec. 10 versus the Predators with a two-point game. Rooney has surpassed his 2023-24 production, earning four goals, one assist, 34 shots on net, 72 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 45 appearances this season. However, if the Flames upgrade their roster at the trade deadline, he could find himself out of the lineup or off the NHL roster altogether.
