Carolina Hurricanes winger Stefan Noesen (lower body) is considered a game-time call for Monday's matchup against Ottawa. He missed the previous game against Buffalo but was a full participant in Sunday's practice, so it looks like Noesen has a good chance to return, although we won't know for sure until puck drop. The 30-year-old has quietly had a good campaign with 35 points in 75 games. He's been averaging barely over 12 minutes a night, but the Hurricanes have used him a lot in power-play situations and Noesen has responded by getting seven goals and eight assists with the man advantage. He should fill his normal duties if he's ready to return Monday.
Carolina Hurricanes winger Stefan Noesen sustained a lower-body injury and was unable to finish Tuesday's contest against Tampa Bay. He was hurt in a collision with Nicholas Paul and exited in the second period after logging 10:24 of action. Noesen had an uneventful evening with two hits and his numbers are far from eye-popping, but the 30-year-old has been a big piece of the power play and he's been enjoying a career year with 12 goals and 31 points in 70 games. Noesen will have to recover by Thursday if he doesn't want to miss any games. Jesse Puljujarvi, who has been a healthy scratch for two games, will likely come in for Noesen if he can't play.
Carolina Hurricanes right wing Stefan Noesen played well in the team's recent 5-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday. He recorded a goal and an assist, helping the Hurricanes pick up the win. Before Wednesday's game, Noesen had only one point in five contests, making this performance all the more impressive. This season, he has accumulated nine goals and 16 assists in 48 games with the Hurricanes, demonstrating his versatility and contribution to the team's success.
Carolina Hurricanes winger Stefan Noesen (lower body) will miss Thursday's contest against the Predators. He suffered a lower-body injury Tuesday versus the Rangers and hasn't recovered quickly enough to be part of the lineup. Noesen, who crushed it in the AHL last season with 85 points in 70 games, has been a very productive fourth-liner for the Hurricanes, posting eight goals and 12 assists in 37 outings. He has done particularly well in recent weeks, collecting 10 points since the start of December. Noesen will get his first opportunity to jump back into the lineup Saturday against Columbus.
