Matt Moulson and John Tavares have arguably become one of the league's top duos.
Since Tavares entered the league at 18 at the start of the 2009-10 season, Moulson has 104 goals, good for ninth in the NHL during that span. He's had three straight 30-goal seasons, jump-starting his career as a 26-year-old. This season he has seven goals and 17 points, while Tavares has 11 goals and 20 points. We know what Tavares can do, but Moulson is an excellent play as well so long as he has Tavares centering him.

Matt Moulson notched two power-play goals and added an assist in the Islanders' 6-4 loss to Carolina on Monday night.
The two-goal outburst snapped a five-game goalless drought for the 29-year-old forward. Despite the slump, Moulson has been productive this campaign with six markers and 13 points in 12 matches. He added five shots in Monday's defeat to give him 40 shots total on the year. Riding shotgun with star player John Tavares has its advantages, but Moulson deserves plenty of credit in his own right for being able to capitalize on his chances.
