Islanders Matt Moulson (NYI - Left Wing) News: Moulson has earned a nomination for the Lady Byng Trophy, which is given to the NHLer who has best exhibited the combination of sportsmanship, gentlemanly conduct and skill.

It is Moulson's second consecutive nomination for the award. [+] Impact: Moulson totaled just four penalty minutes while finishing in the top three on the Isles in goals (15), assists (29) and points (44).

May 20, 2013) Eric Boulton (NYI - Left Wing) News: Boulton signed a one-year contract with the Islanders, according to the Islanders web site. [+] Impact: Boulton is on the team for one reason, and one reason only, and that is to add some toughness to an otherwise soft lineup.
