Hurricanes' Stefan Noesen: Ready for start of camp
Rotowire
Noesen (shoulder) mixed in on the fourth line and saw time on the second power-play unit during the Hurricanes' practice Thursday.
Noesen was working with a primarily NHL-leaning group, which suggests he is recovered from the Grade 3 shoulder separation he sustained versus the Panthers in the Eastern Conference Finals. The 30-year-old saw time in the top six last season, but it's his power-play role as a net-front presence that gives him some deep-league fantasy appeal. The forward had 36 points in 78 regular-season games a year ago, including 15 power-play points.

Hurricanes' Stefan Noesen: Suffers Grade 3 shoulder separation
Rotowire
Noesen suffered a Grade 3 shoulder separation in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Florida in Game 4, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.
Grade 3 is the most serious of shoulder separations as it is a complete tear of both the AC (acromioclavicular) and CC (coracoclavicular) ligaments. Noesen had 13 goals and 36 points in 78 regular-season games, including seven tallies and eight helpers on the power play. Noesen chipped in with four goals and four assists in 15 playoff games as he saw plenty of action on the top line. No timetable was given for Noesen's return.

Hurricanes' Stefan Noesen: Leaves Game 4 with injury
Rotowire
Noesen (upper body) won't finish Wednesday's Game 4 versus the Panthers.
Noesen initially left the game in the first period, then he returned for the second before he was ruled out for good in the third. He's picked up eight points through 14 playoff contests while seeing top-six minutes. It's unclear if he'll be able to play Friday if the Hurricanes force a Game 5.
Noesen provided an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Panthers in Game 2.
Noesen has a goal and an assist over his last two outings after ending the second round on a three-game point drought. The 30-year-old has maintained a top-line role and a place on the first power-play unit even with Teuvo Teravainen back from a broken hand. Noesen has four goals, four assists, 21 shots on net, 34 hits, nine PIM and a minus-3 rating through 13 playoff contests.

He's added 18 shots, 32 hits, nine PIM and a minus-4 rating.

Hurricanes' Stefan Noesen: Registers two helpers in victory
Rotowire
Noesen notched a pair of power-play assists versus the Islanders in Sunday's 5-2 win in Game 4.
Noesen has been a solid producer for the Canes in the postseason with two goals and two assists, all of which were earned with the man advantage. There is little reason to expect Noesen to be dropped from the No. 1 power-play unit at this point, so he should continue providing solid fantasy value in that role.

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).
