He finished third on the team in goals, tied for third in assists and fourth in points. Along with Chris Francis and Josh MacDonald, Warning is the third of the Mallards’ top five point scorers to re-sign with the club for the upcoming campaign. This is the first time since 2006 the Mallards have brought back three of their five leading point producers.

The 24-year-old has totaled 85 points (40g-45a) in 133 games over his first two seasons as a Mallard. Warning produced 31 points (16g-15a) in 65 games as a rookie in 2015-16.

In 2014-15, Warning completed his collegiate career by scoring 24 points (12g-12a) in 39 games. Warning earned All-Big Ten Honorable Mention after ringing up 34 points (14g-20a) in 39 games in 2013-14. He was also named to the 2014 NCAA Frozen Four All-Tournament Team after helping Minnesota to the Frozen Four for the second time in three seasons.
