Devils' Brett Pesce: Moved to long-term injured reserve
Pesce (upper body) was moved from regular IR to long-term injured reserve Saturday, per PuckPedia.
Pesce hasn't played since Oct. 26, and he's not believed to be close to returning, so his timetable hasn't necessarily changed. The Devils do gain some cap flexibility by putting him on LTIR. Pesce has three assists, two PIM, four hits and 24 blocks in nine appearances this year.

Devils' Brett Pesce: On injured reserve
Pesce (upper body) was put on injured reserve Thursday.
Pesce hasn't played since Oct. 26, and he's not expected to return until late November, so this move doesn't alter his timetable. However, the Devils needed the roster spot to activate Cody Glass (upper body) off IR in a corresponding move. Pesce will likely serve in a top-four capacity once he's healthy, but the 30-year-old isn't a significant offensive contributor -- he has 33 points in 151 regular-season games from 2023-24 through 2025-26 -- and he consequently doesn't factor into many fantasy teams.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Out for at least one month
Pesce (upper body) is expected to be out for at least a month, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Tuesday.
Pesce sustained the injury in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over Colorado. He has contributed three assists, eight shots on goal, 24 blocked shots and four hits in nine appearances this season. With Pesce unavailable, Simon Nemec should see an increased role, while Seamus Casey will be in the lineup against the Avalanche on Tuesday.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Won't travel with team
Pesce suffered an upper-body injury in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over Colorado and won't travel with the Devils on the team's upcoming four-game road trip, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Pesce entered Sunday's game with three assists, eight shots on net, 23 blocked shots and four hits in eight appearances. Dennis Cholowski could play against the Avalanche in Tuesday's rematch, but the Devils may bring up reinforcements from AHL Utica for the trip.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Nabs assist in 700th game
Pesce produced an assist and three blocked shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Pesce was able to get on the scoresheet in his 700th career game. The 30-year-old also played the milestone contest against his former team. He was limited by an undisclosed injury during the preseason, but he logged 21:42 of ice time to lead all Devils defensemen in this contest, indicating he is fine for a full workload. The 30-year-old has limited fantasy upside, as he's missed the 20-point mark in consecutive seasons and doesn't pile up hits or PIM in high quantities, though he has blocked at least 100 shots in a season in six of his first 10 campaigns.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Expected to play Thursday
Pesce (undisclosed) is good to play in New Jersey's season opener against Carolina on Thursday, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site on Wednesday.
Pesce had three goals, 17 points, 29 PIM, 24 hits and 138 blocks in 72 regular-season outings with the Devils in 2024-25. He should open the season in a top-four capacity, but Pesce isn't expected to have a role with the man advantage.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Skating Friday
Pesce (undisclosed) will skate on his own Friday and is questionable for Opening Night on Oct. 9, per Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site.
Pesce was injured Thursday and is continuing to be evaluated by doctors. The defenseman had three goals and 14 assists with 138 blocked shots in 72 regular-season appearances last season.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Exits early Thursday
Pesce sustained an undisclosed injury Thursday versus the Rangers and is undergoing further evaluation, Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site reports.
Pesce didn't play in the third period of Thursday's preseason contest. The 30-year-old defenseman can be considered day-to-day for now, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Devils held him out of Saturday's preseason finale versus the Flyers.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Played through shoulder problem
Pesce was fighting through a shoulder injury during the playoffs, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Thursday.
Pesce didn't miss any game action despite being a game-time decision heading into Game 5 on Tuesday. The blueliner picked up two assists in that contest, bringing him to three in five postseason contests. During the regular season, Pesce notched three goals and 14 helpers but missed the 20-point threshold for the second consecutive season. While Pesce offers some value in blocks (138), he doesn't offer enough broad category coverage to be more than a mid-range option in most fantasy leagues.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Two helpers in Game 5 loss
Pesce notched two assists, two shots on goal and four blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-4 double-overtime loss to the Hurricanes in Game 5.
Pesce was questionable heading into the game but ultimately suited up for 32:17 of ice time. The defenseman put up three assists, eight shots on net, 18 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over five playoff contests. Pesce just finished the first season of a six-year contract, so he's set to be part of the Devils' defensive core for the remainder of the decade.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Expected to play
Pesce (undisclosed) is expected to be in the lineup versus the Hurricanes for Tuesday's Game 5, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.
Pesce was reportedly dealing with an undisclosed injury that left him a game-time decision, but it looks like he'll be able to suit up. The Devils are dealing with numerous injuries on defense, so it may be a situation where he's good enough to be in the lineup despite being less than 100 percent.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Status in question Tuesday
Pesce is contending with an undisclosed injury and will be a game-decision for Game 5 against the Hurricanes on Tuesday, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.
Pesce logged 22:28 of ice time in Sunday's 5-2 loss in Game 4, so it's unclear when exactly he picked up the injury. Seamus Casey is a strong candidate to suit up Tuesday in the event that Pesce is unable to play. On top of the Devils already being without Luke Hughes (upper body), Johnny Kovacevic (undisclosed) and Brenden Dillon (lower body), Jonas Siegenthaler (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision in addition to Pesce.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Records assist in loss
Pesce logged an assist and four PIM in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins.
Pesce picked up his second assist in the last four games. The 30-year-old defenseman was limited to just three points over the prior 15 contests. He's now at 16 points, 97 shots on net, 137 blocked shots, 27 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 70 appearances in his first year with the Devils. He is set to miss the 20-point mark for the second year in a row after reaching it in five of his first eight NHL seasons.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Gathers helper in shootout win
Pesce logged an assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over the Wild.
Pesce had been held off the scoresheet in the previous eight games, recording 13 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and eight PIM in that span. His drought ended when he set up a Luke Hughes goal in the first period. Pesce is now at 15 points, 96 shots on net, 132 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 67 appearances. It's a better season than his last in Carolina, when he had 13 points in 70 regular-season outings, but this still isn't the peak of Pesce's scoring skills.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Posts two-point effort
Pesce recorded a goal, an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.
Pesce is not known for his contributions to the box score, and in fact, this was just his third multi-point effort of the campaign. He's had just three points over his last 10 games, so Pesce can't be trusted to produce in most fantasy formats on a consistent basis. Through 58 games, the blueliner has racked up only 14 points (three goals, 11 assists).

Devils' Brett Pesce: Nets rare goal
Pesce scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.
Pesce was posterized after failing to block Ilya Lyubushkin's first goal in nearly two years on an odd-man rush in the second period. There was a little redemption for Pesce when he scored at 15:52 of the third to tie the game at 3-3, ending his own 30-game goal drought, but the Devils would give up a goal late to end up with nothing from their road-trip finale. It's been an unremarkable first season with the Devils for Pesce, who has two goals, 10 assists, 73 shots on net, 107 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 54 outings overall.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Uncharacteristically poor game
Pesce held a minus-3 rating and blocked one shot in 22:20 of ice time during Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Known for his defensive prowess and shutdown capability, Pesce had a tough game Wednesday. His minus-3 rating was worst on the team and a personal season-worst. It brings the former Hurricane's season rating to minus-6, on track to becoming his first season in the red since 2017.
