He set career-highs in both goals and points during his time in Montreal, including 22 goals and 46 points in 67 games in 1953-54, and 22 goals and 54 points in 70 games the following year. He was a first team All-Star in 1953-54 and a second team All-Star the following year. He also played in five consecutive All-Star Games between 1951 and 1955.
Mosdell has his name engraved on the Stanley Cup three times, including 1945-46, 1952-53 and 1955-56. In 80 career playoff games, all with the Canadiens, he recorded 16 goals and 29 points.
