Stefan Noesen Placed on Waivers By New Jersey Devils
From the year’s 2021 to 2024, Stefan Noesen played with the Carolina Hurricanes.
Following his tenure with the Canes, Noesen inked a deal with the New Jersey Devils.
Well, on Thursday, he was placed on waivers by the Devils.
CBSSports.com’s RotoWire staff wrote:
“Noesen appeared in the Devils’ first two regular-season games and was held scoreless with four hits and two shots on goal while averaging 7:24 of ice time. However, he was a healthy scratch against Utah on Tuesday and will presumably have more consistent opportunities for playing time at AHL Utica if he clears waivers.”
Noesen has never really been a first-line player in his NHL career, but he has been in the league for 13 seasons, which is impressive.
