Wilkes-Barre Watch: Noesen brings NHL confidence

In previewing the 2019-20 Wilkes-Barre/Scranton season, I didn't accurately anticipate who one of the standout players would be in the beginning of the season.

But to be fair, the Penguins didn't sign him until the day before the start of the season.

After the first six games of the season, 26-year-old right winger Stefan Noesen, the 2011 first-round pick of the Senators, leads Wilkes-Barre in scoring (and ranks fourth in the AHL) with six goals and two assists.

Noesen, 6-feet-1 and 205 pounds, brings with him 154 games of NHL experience with the Ducks and Devils, during which he amassed 24 goals and 21 assists.
