[edit] Professional

Moen was drafted in the fifth round, 155th overall in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft by the Calgary Flames, but was never signed to a contract by the Flames and remained in the WHL. As a free agent, Moen was signed by the Chicago Blackhawks on October 21, 2002. The Blackhawks assigned him to play for their minor-league affiliate, the Norfolk Admirals for the 200203 season.

Moen managed to make the Blackhawks in 200304 and played all 82 games the team played that season. The year after, he played for the Admirals of the American Hockey League (AHL) due to the 200405 NHL lockout.

Before the 200506 NHL Season, Moen was traded to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim for Mikael Holmqvist on July 30, 2005. Moen played 39 games for the Mighty Ducks that season, and appeared in his first NHL playoff game, also scoring his first playoff goal in a game against the Colorado Avalanche on May 5, 2006. Moen was a healthy scratch on and off during the playoffs until the Mighty Ducks were eliminated by the Edmonton Oilers.

In the 200607 NHL season, Moen played on the Duck’s third line with Selke Trophy candidate Samuel Påhlsson and Rob Niedermayer, and it was the only line that head coach Randy Carlyle did not change throughout the course of the season. Moen also had the first multiple goal-game of his career in a game against the Edmonton Oilers, where he scored two goals.

The Ducks qualified for the playoffs, and in the Western Conference semifinals, Moen scored the game-winning goal in overtime in game 4 against the Vancouver Canucks to win the game and give Anaheim a 31 series lead. Moen then scored another game-winning goal in Game 1 of the 2007 Stanley Cup Final against the Ottawa Senators, and scored the cup-winning goal in game 5 to win his first Stanley Cup. This goal was actually an own goal and since he was the last player to touch the puck he was awarded the goal.

Moen was traded to the San Jose Sharks on March 4, 2009, along with Kent Huskins for Nick Bonino, Timo Pielmeier and a 4th round draft pick in 2011.[1]

On July 10, 2009, Moen signed a three-year contract worth $1.5 million per season with the Montreal Canadiens.[2]
