Noesen (rest) participated in Friday's practice session and should be available for Sunday's Game 1 against Carolina, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Noesen missed two of the last three games of the regular season due to rest purposes, but he should return to the ice for the start of the playoffs. He racked up 22 goals, 19 assists, 152 hits and 54 PIM while averaging 15:56 of ice time over 78 regular-season appearances.

Devils' Luke Hughes: Back in lineup
Hughes (rest) will return to action for Game 1 in Carolina on Sunday, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.
The Devils rested all their top players Wednesday against Detroit as the game was meaningless as far as the regular season was concerned. Hughes had seven goals and 37 assists in 71 regular-season contests this season. He will likely be demoted to the second power play during the playoffs as Dougie Hamilton (lower body) returned to the lineup Wednesday after missing 18 games.

Devils' Dawson Mercer: Scores in season-ending loss
Mercer scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.
Mercer finished the season having found the back of the net in this last two games. The 23-year-old center has yet to miss a regular-season game in his four-year NHL career, but he failed to reach the 40-point plateau for the second consecutive campaign. He recorded 19 goals, 17 assists, 141 shots, 41 hits and 60 blocked shots during the regular season.

Devils' Erik Haula: Scores, assists vs. Detroit
Haula recorded a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.
Haula ended the regular season in style and posted his first multi-point game since notching a goal and an assist in a 3-1 win over the Flyers on March 9. The 34-year-old veteran didn't have the best season from a statistical perspective, however, and he recorded just 21 points (11 goals, 10 assists) over 69 regular-season contests.

Devils' Nico Daws: Gives up five goals Wednesday
Daws stopped 22 of 26 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings. The fifth goal was an empty-netter with 10 seconds left in the third period.
This was Daws' first regular-season loss, and it was a subpar showing for the 24-year-old. Daws ends the campaign with a 3-1-0 across his six appearances, posting a 1.60 GAA and a .939 save percentage, albeit in a limited sample size.

Devils' Luke Hughes: Won't play vs. Detroit
Hughes (rest) won't play in Wednesday's regular-season finale versus Detroit, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.
Hughes will presumably return to the lineup for Game 1 of New Jersey's first-round series against Carolina. He'll finish the regular season of his sophomore campaign with seven goals and 44 points in 71 outings. That's close to his 47-point showing in 2023-24 despite playing in fewer games -- he logged 82 in 2023-24 -- and seeing a major drop in power-play ice time -- he averaged 1:38 this season compared to 3:27 as a rookie.

He recorded 22 goals, 19 assists, 152 hits, 26 blocked shots and 54 PIM while averaging 15:56 of ice time this season, making it one of the best years of his career. The 32-year-old should be heavily involved when the Devils begin postseason play.

Meier (rest) has been ruled out for the Devils' regular-season finale versus Detroit on Wednesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Meier will finish the 2024-25 regular season with 26 goals and 53 points across 80 appearances. It's his fourth straight campaign of at least 25 goals and 50 points. Meier should draw back into the lineup for Game 1 of the Devils' first-round series against Carolina.
