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.

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.

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.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Logs helper in loss
Pesce registered an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-3 loss to Buffalo.
Pesce set up Paul Cotter's second goal of the game just 18 seconds into the third period. Pesce has recorded three assists over his last two games after being held without a point over eight prior contests. The veteran blueliner should be able to surpass the 13 points he generated over 70 regular-season games in 2023-24 -- he's chipped in a goal and nine assists over 45 outings this season.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Two-point effort Wednesday
Pesce produced two assists with six shots on net, three blocked shots, a hit and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Flyers.
The veteran defenseman had a hand in the Devils' final two tallies of the night, snapping a scoring drought in which he'd managed just one assist over his prior 14 games. Pesce has been a reliable presence on the blue line in his first season with New Jersey, racking up 89 blocked shots across 44 appearances -- giving the 30-year-old a chance to top his prior career high of 148 blocks, set in 2016-17.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Picks up helper Thursday
Pesce notched an assist and six blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers.
Pesce got it done at both ends of the ice Thursday -- he set up a Jack Hughes tally in the second period. The six blocks matched Pesce's season high, which he's achieved three times this season. He has a modest six points over 17 contests since the start of December. Overall, the 30-year-old blueliner has seven points, 47 shots on net, 72 blocks and a minus-1 rating over 35 appearances.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Logs assist Friday
Pesce notched an assist, two blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.
Pesce earned his first point against the Hurricanes, the team he spent the previous nine years with after being drafted in the third round in 2013. The defenseman's tenure with the Devils has been relatively unremarkable -- he's at six points, 44 shots on net, 56 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 29 appearances. He's earned five of those points over the last seven contests, but he remains in more of a defense-first role, so his offense may be fleeting over longer stretches.
