Stefan Noesen Recalled By New Jersey Devils After Brief Minors Stint

Former Senators first-rounder Stefan Noesen is back in the NHL after being recalled by the New Jersey Devils on Monday. The move comes three days after clearing waivers and a surprising demotion to the AHL's Utica Comets. The 33-year-old winger returns as Connor Brown is placed on injured reserve. Noesen posted 22 goals and 41 points in 78 games during the 2024-25 season, though injuries derailed his 2025-26 campaign, finishing with just three goals and seven points in 38 games.
