It\u2019s the first time Noesen has been placed on waivers since his time with the San Jose Sharks in the 2020-21 season.<\/p>\n<p>Simply put, Noesen has become the odd man out in New Jersey. The Devils are <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prohockeyrumors.com\/2026\/10\/east-injury-notes-siegenthaler-doan-roy.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">evaluating<\/a> defenseman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/siegejo01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-10-08_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Jonas Siegenthaler<\/a> for an undisclosed injury. With only five other defensemen on the roster, New Jersey needs to add another blue liner before their upcoming contest on Saturday. Even if\u00a0 Siegenthaler is cleared to play, it\u2019s better to be safe than sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, it\u2019s an unsurprising transaction. After two quality campaigns with the Carolina Hurricanes, Noesen returned to the Devils as an unrestricted free agent, signing a three-year, $8.25MM ($2.75MM AAV) contract with the club in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>His first year back in New Jersey couldn\u2019t have gone much better. Noesen finished the 2024-25 season with the fourth-most goals on the Devils, registering 22 goals and 41 points in 78 games with a -8 rating. Given how much New Jersey has sought out secondary scoring over the past few years, Noesen became a perfect fit who could also offer physicality.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, an injury-plagued 2025-26 campaign halted any of Noesen\u2019s momentum. It became one of the worst seasons of his 13-year career, finishing with three goals and seven points in 38 games with a -7 rating, averaging 11:45 of ice time per game. Because they couldn\u2019t rely on him, the Devils essentially replaced Noesen in the lineup this past offseason.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s been made clear at the start of the 2026-27 campaign. Noesen has appeared in two games for New Jersey, going scoreless while averaging 7:24 of ice time per game. Because he\u2019s earning a relatively high salary for his recent production, Noesen will likely pass through waivers unscathed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sportsnet\u2019s Elliotte Friedman reports that the New Jersey Devils have placed veteran forward Stefan Noesen on waivers.
