Hurricanes' Stefan Noesen: Hasn't scored in a month
Rotowire
Noesen failed to crack the scoresheet for the 11th straight game in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Golden Knights.
While it's fair to say Noesen's teammates didn't help matters either, the fact remains Noesen hasn't registered a point since his two-point effort against the Capitals on Feb. 14. He continues to skate primarily on the Canes' fourth line, which diminishes his fantasy appeal, though Noesen also features on the team's first power-play unit (2:46 average TOI).

Hurricanes' Stefan Noesen: Two points including GWG
Rotowire
Noesen scored the game-winning goal on the power play and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Capitals.
The 'Canes only had the man advantage for 31 seconds the entire night, but Noesen made those seconds count as he tipped home a Brady Skjei point shot midway through the second period for the night's final goal. Noesen has multi-point performances in two of the last three games, but his bottom-six role at even strength limits his fantasy upside even as he seems to have found a home on the Carolina power play. On the season, the 30-year-old journeyman has 10 goals and 27 points through 50 games, with about half that production (seven goals, six helpers) coming on the PP.

Rotowire
Noesen scored a power-play goal on three shots in Friday's 4-0 win over the Panthers.

Hurricanes' Stefan Noesen: Contributes power-play helper
Rotowire
Noesen logged a power-play assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
Noesen got some run in the top six when Teuvo Teravainen (upper body) was out, Teravainen's absence ended Saturday, and Noesen was back in a fourth-line role at even strength. He still picked up his fourth point in the last five games, and his role on the top power-play unit means his offense is unlikely to totally disappear at any point. Noesen has three goals, eight helpers, seven power-play points, 48 shots on net, 13 PIM and 26 hits in 24 contests this season.

Hurricanes' Stefan Noesen: Deposits power-play marker
Rotowire
Noesen scored a power-play goal on six shots, logged two hits and added two PIM in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over the Capitals.
Noesen opened the scoring at 4:27 of the first period.

The fourth-liner has added 19 shots, six hits and a minus-2 rating. His goal Monday was his first at the NHL level since the 2019-20 campaign, but his role on the Hurricanes' top power-play unit should allow him more good looks on offense.
