Matt Moulson scored his second goal of the playoffs in Sunday's overtime loss to Pittsburgh.

He has worked well with Kyle Okposo, who picked up one of the assists along with defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky, since being separated from John Tavares. The two of them will probably get some shifts together as the series moves along, but the changes have worked out well so far for the Islanders' offense despite Pittsburgh's 2-1 series lead.

Matt Moulson has been moved off John Tavares' wing and onto the second line.

We point this out because the two have been nearly inseparable over the last four years, forming one of the best one-two punches in hockey. Moulson had 15 goals and 29 assists this year. Joshua Bailey, who had 11 goals and 19 points this season, has been moved up to left wing on the first line. For something that has worked so well, this screams of something of a desperation move, though we can understand that coach Jack Capuano wants to balance the lineup more.

Matt Moulson recorded a goal and an assist Tuesday night after missing one game with the flu.

The Islanders sniper has 13 goals and 39 points in 39 games this season.
