"I've really come to admire him not only as a player, but as a man. He's a true pro," coach Ted Nolan said per NHL.com. "He comes to work. He has a great demeanor about him. He seems to really enjoy the game. He's one of those guys you like to have on your team for sure."
Moulson has 22 points off of 12 goals and 10 assists to lead the Sabres while Cody Hodgson has eight tallies and 11 helpers for 19 points and Tyler Ennis has hit the back of the net seven times and added seven assists for 14 points.
