Devils' Stefan Noesen: Scores power-play goal Wednesday

Noesen scored a power-play goal and took five shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.

Noesen gave the Devils a 3-1 lead in the latter stages of the third period with a backhand shot that went past Jeremy Swayman as part of a four-goal second period for New Jersey. This was the first time the 31-year-old cracked the scoresheet since returning from a two-game absence due to an illness. He's notched a career-high 18 goals this season, and he's also on pace to surpass his previous career-high mark of 37 points, established in 2023-24.
