Matt Moulson, New York Islanders
This is Moulson’s second consecutive nomination for the award. He was second on the Islanders in scoring with 44 points (15 goals, 29 assists), behind only John Tavares. Moulson’s penalty minute total of 4 minutes, was tied for the lowest amount among top-tier NHL talent, with Logan Couture of the San Jose Sharks. Moulson is not a flashy player, and is not known for any on or off ice issues. His skill level has continued to rise over the last three seasons. Moulson currently has a streak of 37 games without a minor penalty being called on him, through the end of this season.
