Travis Moen (born April 6, 1982 in Swift Current , Saskatchewan ) is a retired Canadian ice hockey player . The winger played 830 games in the National Hockey League , most of them for the Anaheim Ducks , with whom he won the Stanley Cup in 2007 , and for the Canadiens de Montréal .
Career
Moen began his career in 1998 at the age of 16 in the Saskatchewan Midget Hockey League with the team in his hometown. At the end of the season he joined the Kelowna Rockets from the Western Hockey League , for which he played four games in the rest of the season. In the 1999/2000 season, the Canadian was an integral part of the team. In 66 encounters, the rookie got 15 points and was selected in the following summer during the NHL Entry Draft 2000 as a total of 155th player in the fifth round of the Calgary Flames . Nevertheless, Moen stayed in Kelowna for the next two years and was able to improve gradually, although he was out for large parts of the 2000/01 season due to an injury. Above all, his aggressive style of playing in the style of an enforcer made him an important pillar of the team.
For the 2002/03 season Moen switched to the professional field. Not in the organization of the Calgary Flames, which had drafted him, but with the Chicago Blackhawks , with whom he had signed a contract in the summer. This first used him with the Norfolk Admirals , their farm team in the American Hockey League , where the Canadian came to appearances in 42 matches. Despite only three scorer points in the season, he managed to get a regular place in the squad of the NHL team for the 2003/04 season through the Blackhawks' pre-season training camp . In the course of the game year, the left winger completed all 82 games of the season in which he scored six points, but his clearly negative plus / minus statistics indicated weaknesses on the defensive. Due to the lockout in the NHL season 2004/05 Moen could not gain further experience in the NHL, but played again for Norfolk in the AHL. In his third year in the professional field, he showed himself greatly improved both on the offensive and on the defensive, which in the summer of 2006 led to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim signing him in exchange for the Swedish striker Michael Holmqvist .

On the US west coast, Moen was immediately part of the NHL squad, playing only 39 games due to a knee and shoulder injury and the great competition in the squad. He posted five scorer points in these games and was thus almost able to approach his production from the 2003/04 season, in which he had completed more than double the number of games. For the 2006/07 season , the striker finally won a regular place in the starting lineup of the now in Anaheim Ducks renamed franchises . Together with Samuel Påhlsson and Rob Niedermayer , he formed a very dangerous third row, which, due to its defensive orientation, was actually intended to play against the opponent's best row. After the three strikers had already caused a sensation in the regular season, they were able to improve again in the course of the playoffs and made a significant contribution to the Ducks' first Stanley Cup win. In the best season of his career to date, the Canadian had 33 points in 103 games in the regular season and playoffs. The following season was not so successful for both the Ducks and Moen. Neither the Ducks had a chance in the fight for the Stanley Cup, nor was the striker able to build on the performances of the previous season. The 2008/09 season was similar, although Moen's statistical values in the offensive area improved again slightly. Nevertheless, he and his teammate Kent Huskins were handed over to rival San Jose Sharks in early March . In return, they transferred Timo Pielmeier , Nick Bonino and a conditional draft right between the second and fourth round in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft to Anaheim. For the Sharks, the Canadian only played 25 games, including six in the playoffs, as he signed a three-year contract with the Montréal Canadiens after the season .
In November the Canadiens gave it to the Dallas Stars and received Sergei Gonchar in return . Moen played for the stars until the summer of 2016 before his contract was not renewed. In November 2016, the Canadian announced the end of his playing career.
