Devils' Stefan Noesen: Ends slump with goal Tuesday
Rotowire
Noesen scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
Noesen snapped a six-game pointless drought, from Dec. 2 to Dec. 14, with a power-play tally in this comfortable win for the Devils. Noesen has generated most of his fantasy value as a scorer, as he has 14 goals and 23 points this season. Those 14 goals are a career-high mark for the veteran, who is on pace to have personal best numbers by the All-Star break, if not sooner.

Devils' Stefan Noesen: Lights lamp twice Saturday
Rotowire
Noesen scored two power-play goals in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Capitals.
With the Devils down 4-2 heading into the third period, Noesen tried to spark a comeback with his fifth and sixth power-play tallies of the season. The 31-year-old is already just one short of his career high in that category, a mark he set in 2022-23 with the Hurricanes. Noesen's also one goal from tying his career high of 14 from 2023-24.

Devils' Stefan Noesen: Scores go-ahead goal
Rotowire
Noesen scored a goal on two shots and added five hits in Friday's 5-4 win over the Red Wings.
Noesen has just one multi-game point drought in November even though he hasn't gotten on the scoresheet in consecutive contests. The winger has been productive while seeing top-six minutes, earning six goals and two assists over 13 outings this month. Overall, he has 11 tallies, 20 points, 48 shots on net, 66 hits and 13 PIM through 26 appearances. His career high in goals is 14 from last year with the Hurricanes, and while he's shooting an unsustainable 22.9 percent, he's poised to shatter that mark in 2024-25.

Devils' Stefan Noesen: Two points vs. Carolina
Rotowire
Noesen registered a power-play goal and a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.
Noesen was stellar with the man advantage, finding the back of the net just 46 seconds into the second period with a tip-in and later setting up Jesper Bratt's second goal with 5:55 left in the contest. Noesen has two multi-point games in his last three outings, and he's up to six points (five goals, one assist) in nine contests since the beginning of November.

Devils' Stefan Noesen: Two more goals
Rotowire
Noesen scored twice Thursday in a 6-2 win over the Panthers.
He opened the scoring in the first when he banged in a rebound after a net-front battle. Noesen then buried a one-timer on the power play in the dying seconds of the second frame. He has 16 points, including nine goals, 35 shots and 51 hits in 20 games. Noesen's best season came in 2023-24 with 14 goals and 37 points (81 games). The 31-year-old is a fantasy revelation this season and worthy of deployment in most formats.

Devils' Stefan Noesen: Scores in win over NYI
Rotowire
Noesen scored a goal while adding seven shots, six hits and a blocked shot in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders.
Noesen is not known for being one of the Devils' most reliable performers on offense, which shouldn't be surprising given his role of being a middle-six forward. However, things have been different this year. While the 31-year-old hasn't reached the 40-point mark before, he already has seven goals and 14 points through 17 appearances in 2024-25. Noesen isn't showing signs of slowing either, notching four goals and one assist across his past six outings. Be careful here, though -- Noesen's history suggests his offensive production will slow eventually, and his 24.1 shooting percentage is likely far too high for him to maintain when measured against his career average of 10.8.

Devils' Stefan Noesen: Buries lone shot Monday
Rotowire
Noesen scored a goal in Monday's 3-0 win over the Oilers.
Noesen has struggled at times with his consistency on a game-to-game basis, but he's showing signs of turning things into the right direction. He's cracked the scoresheet in three of his last four appearances, tallying three goals and one assist over that span. On the season, the 31-year-old has six goals and seven assists across 15 appearances, with four of those points (two goals, two helpers) coming in the power play.

Devils' Stefan Noesen: Snags power-play assist
Rotowire
Noesen recorded a power-play assist in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Canucks.
Noesen fed Jack Hughes for a third-period tally. The 31-year-old Noesen has picked up his points in bunches this season -- he has four instances of getting on the scoresheet in consecutive games, but he's yet to extend any of those streak to three contests. The veteran forward has five goals, seven helpers, four power-play points, 20 shots on net, 33 hits and a minus-2 rating across 13 appearances, primarily in a middle-six role.

Noesen scored two goals on four shots and added two hits in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
Noesen scored the go-ahead goal at 4:42 of the second period and added a power-play tally later in the frame that stood as the game-winner. The power winger has five points over his last five games while skating in a third-line role.

Devils' Stefan Noesen: Two helpers in overtime loss
Rotowire
Noesen notched two assists, three hits and five PIM in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Capitals.
Noesen set up the Devils' first two goals of the game. The 31-year-old has seen third-line usage lately, and he's been promoted to the top power-play unit, where he works as a net-front option. Through eight contests, Noesen has two goals, six assists, 11 shots on net and 19 hits while averaging 13:33 of ice time. The winger's scoring pace will likely fade, but he's steady with his physical play, so he may be able to maintain a spot as a bench option in fantasy.

Noesen has two goals, four assists, six shots on net and nine hits through five contests. The 31-year-old winger has filled a middle-six role with time on the second power-play unit. He's a good source of depth scoring, hits and sneaky power-play production after accumulating 73 points across the last two seasons combined.

Devils' Stefan Noesen: Bags three apples
Rotowire
Noesen recorded three assists, a plus-2 rating during Saturday's 5-3 win over the Capitals.
Noesen is meshing well in his old stomping grounds with a goal and four points in his first four games after signing a three-year, $8.25 million contract to return to the team he played for from 2016-2018. The 30-year-old has notched 30-plus points in consecutive campaigns and is on his way to getting there again, thanks to his sizzling start.

Hurricanes' Stefan Noesen: Tallies in Saturday's win
Rotowire
Noesen scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rangers in Game 4.
The goal was Noesen's fourth of the postseason, though it was his first in four appearances in the second round. The 31-year-old has seen his ice time plummet during the playoffs, especially while serving in a fourth-line role against the Rangers. He's added 21 PIM, 12 hits and nine shots on net through nine playoff contests, but his limited ice time makes him a risky option for most DFS formats.

Hurricanes' Stefan Noesen: Racks up penalty minutes
Rotowire
Noesen recorded 17 penalty minutes in a 5-3 win in Game 2 against the Islanders on Monday.
Noesen spent five minutes in the box in the first period after dropping the gloves against Kyle MacLean before also snagging a 10-minute misconduct with just nine seconds remaining in the contest. The 31-year-old Noesen ended the regular season on a 20-game goal drought before finding the back of the net versus New York. As such, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting consistent offensive production out of the Texas native.

Hurricanes' Stefan Noesen: Pots go-ahead goal
Rotowire
Noesen scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Islanders in Game 1.
Noesen's goal was his first since March 7, and he had just five assists over the 20 contests in between tallies. The 31-year-old winger can be expected to see fourth-line usage while also serving on the second power-play unit as a net-front presence. Noesen put up a career-high 37 points (11 on the power play) in a similar role over 81 regular-season outings.

Hurricanes' Stefan Noesen: Dials in for power-play apple
Rotowire
Noesen registered a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Bruins.
Nosen is maintaining a spot on the No. 2 power play, but a fourth-line role has limited his offensive chances. The 31-year-old forward has just one goal and three assists over a 15-game span and a month's time. Still, with the Hurricanes in line to make the playoffs, Noesen should be an X-factor, as he tends to fly under the radar but is capable of heating up on short notice.

Hurricanes' Stefan Noesen: Closing in on career high
Rotowire
Noesen notched his 31st point of the season with an assist in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Jets.
Now that he's cracked the 30-point mark for the second consecutive season, Noesen has a chance to hit 40 points for the first time in his career. That's not bad for a guy who's currently skating on the Canes' fourth line, although Noesen does see supplemental minutes on the second power-play unit, where he's averaging 1:33 of ice time this season.

Hurricanes' Stefan Noesen: Hands out power-play assist
Rotowire
Noesen logged a power-play assist in Friday's 5-1 win over the Coyotes.

Hurricanes' Stefan Noesen: Pots game-winner Thursday
Rotowire
Noesen scored the game-winning goal and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 6-3 victory over the Ducks.
Both points came in the second period to break open a 3-3 tie, and Noesen's offensive surge came immediately after Carolina netminder Pyotr Kochetkov (upper body) had left the game following a hit to the head. Noesen's performance likely made him a hero in the locker room, and the 30-year-old is having one of the best runs of his career with six goals and 13 points in 18 games since the beginning of December.

Hurricanes' Stefan Noesen: Returns to lineup
Rotowire
Noesen (illness) saw 7:25 of ice time in his return to the lineup in Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Blues.
Noesen played an uneventful game against the Blues with no hits, no PIM and only two shots on net. His 7:25 TOI was essentially half of what he has played over the past month. Noesen was on the ice for the only goal Carolina allowed and ended up with a minus-1 rating. The 30-year old forward will look to bounce back against the Ducks on Thursday but will most likely continue to play a bottom-six role.
