This Was A Minor Penalty

Stefan Noesen - Registers two helpers in victoryNoesen notched a pair of assists versus the Islanders in Sunday's Game 4 clash.
ImpactNoesen 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 top-end fantasy value in that role.

Mackenzie MacEachern - Scores goal, assist SundayMacEachern scored a goal on two shots while picking up an assist versus the Islanders on Sunday.
ImpactMacEachern -- who was brought up from the minors after Teuvo Teravainen (hand) was injured -- certainly made the most of his first game this postseason with his pair of points. Depending on the availability of Jack Drury (upper body) for Game 5 on Tuesday, MacEachern could find himself moving up the depth chart where he could see additional minutes and opportunities.

Jack Drury - Hoping to play TuesdayDrury (upper body) could still be an option against the Islanders in Game 5 on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
ImpactDrury was forced to exit Sunday's Game 4 matchup after logging just 1:20 of ice time after a hard check into the boards in the first period. The 23-year-old center is currently stuck in a 14-game goal drought saying back to March 26 against the Bruins. If Drury can't play Tuesday, Stefan Noesen or Martin Necas could be candidates to slot into Drury's first-line role.

Frederik Andersen - Expected back TuesdayAndersen (undisclosed) is set to return to the lineup for Game 5 against the Islanders on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
ImpactAndersen will likely be forced to accept a backup role behind Antti Raanta, who has helped give the Hurricanes a 3-1 series lead heading into Tuesday's matchup. At this point, it would likely take a stumble or two by Raanta to afford Andersen the opportunity to get into a playoff contest.

Vasiliy Ponomarev - Joins big clubPonomarev was recalled from AHL Chicago on Monday, per CapFriendly.
ImpactPonomarev has yet to make his NHL debut but he tallied 24 goals and 46 points through 64 AHL contests this season. He's likely serving as extra depth on the NHL roster.
