Matt Moulson recorded his first two goals of the season in a 7-4 win for the New York Islanders on Thursday versus Toronto.
The three-time 30-goal scorer had six shots in the contest after being credited with six shots in his previous two games combined. Moulson has proven to be an effective goal scorer for the Islanders the past three seasons and riding shotgun with star player John Tavares, who had two assists on Thursday, certainly doesn't hurt either. The two of them should be productive in the shortened 2013 season.

Matt Moulson was in attendance for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals, at Prudential Center, on Wednesday night to watch his brother-in-law and friend Jonathan Quick compete against New Jersey.
The two of them married sisters but Moulson's wife, Alicia, remained home because she is seven months pregnant. Moulson skated in just 29 games with the Los Angeles Kings over his three seasons with the organization, but he doesn't hold a grudge against them. He has been great since joining the New York Islanders, while posting three straight 30-goal campaigns and appearing in all 82 contests each year.

Matt Moulson's good deeds have been recognized with a Foundation Award nomination.
Moulson has also been nominated for the Lady Byng Trophy. He created the 326 Foundation with Jonathan Quick to help the Kings Care Foundation and Islanders Children's Foundation. Moulson gives $500 to the cause for every goal he scores, which resulted in him donating $18,000 for his 36 goals in 2011-12. Moulson also partnered with the Wounded Warrior Project. For every Islanders home game, a military veteran from WWP, along with one of their family members, was able to attend an Islanders' home game with VIP treatment that included going to the locker room after the game.

Matt Moulson reached the 30-goal plateau for a third straight year in Tuesday's shootout loss to Washington.
"It has a lot more to do with the guys I play with," he said. "Johnny [Tavares]'s one of the best players in the game, and P.A. [Parenteau] and Okie [Kyle Okposo] have been great, too. I'm not exactly producing goals on my own." Whether that is true or not, Moulson has proved himself as a dependable goal producer at the NHL level since becoming a member of the New York Islanders. The fact that he can finish scoring chances only enhances his fantasy value because of the talent of the team's playmakers.
