Tonight is one of the biggest sporting events of the year as the Green Bay Packers are set to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl tonight, but that didn’t stray the Islanders focus away from winning an important game last night against a struggling Ottawa Senators team. Rob Schremp had a two-goal night while Grabner continued his hot streak, notching his 16th goal of the season. Frans Nielsen capped the evening with an empty-netter and Matt Moulson had the first goal of the game to give him a tie for the team-lead in goals with John Tavares at 18.
Moulson recently signed a three-year contract extension with the team. He was last year’s leading goal scorer and has continued the same pace through this season, playing well with long-time buddy John Tavares and winger P.A. Parenteau. The organization views Moulson as a crucial member to the core of the team and wasted little time in getting him locked up since he would have been able to test the free agent market this summer.
I found him sitting next to Parenteau and chatting with Trevor Gillies after the mainstream media scrum asked all of their questions for the post-game interview. All three were in high spirits after the game; a brutal one that had several fights and scrums and a six-goal first period. Moulson was kind enough to spare a few more minutes to answer some of my questions.
