Devils' Brett Pesce: Set to rest Wednesday
Pesce (rest) won't be in the lineup for Wednesday's regular-season finale against Detroit, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Wednesday.
Pesce will conclude the regular season with three goals, 17 points, 29 PIM, 24 hits and 138 blocks in 72 appearances. He should be back for Game 1 of the Devils' first-round series, which will be against his former team, the Hurricanes.

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.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Supplies two helpers in rally
Pesce recorded two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Pesce got on the scoresheet in consecutive games for the first time this season. He helped out on tallies by Jack Hughes and Timo Meier. Pesce is up to a goal, three assists, 38 shots on net, 48 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 24 appearances. While he's often listed on the third pairing, he has played top-four minutes for much of the campaign as a key defensive presence in his first year with the Devils.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Pots first career shorthanded goal
Pesce scored a shorthanded goal in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
The 30-year-old blueliner gave the Devils an insurance tally late in the third period when Jack Hughes' initial shot was blocked by Brandt Clarke, but Pesce then followed up and used the Kings defender as a screen. It was Pesce's first goal of the season and only his second point in 23 appearances, and his first career shortie in his 10th NHL campaign.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Gets first assist with new team
Pesce notched an assist in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Capitals.
The helper was Pesce's first point as a Devil. He's quietly struggled on offense after missing the first two weeks of the season with a lower-leg injury. The 30-year-old blueliner is at one assist, 28 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating while averaging 21:15 of ice time through 18 contests. Pesce's usage is likely to remain defensive in nature since Dougie Hamilton and Luke Hughes handle most of the scoring from the blue line in New Jersey.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Slated to play
Pesce (undisclosed) is expected to play against Carolina on Thursday.
Pesce, who made his first 627 career regular-season appearances with the Hurricanes, is set to face his former team for the first time. The Devils suffered a 4-2 loss to Carolina on Oct. 15, but Pesce missed that game due to a lower-leg injury. He has no points, 21 shots, four hits and 20 blocks over 12 appearances with New Jersey in 2024-25.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Deemed day-to-day
Pesce is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Tuesday.
Head coach Sheldon Keefe didn't seem too concerned about the availability of Pesce or Timo Meier (back), telling reporters, "The break has been very important. We'll take advantage of this time and see where they're at tomorrow." If Pesce were to miss any time, it would open up a spot on the blue line for Nick DeSimone, who has yet to get into an NHL game this season despite being called up twice in November.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Good to go Friday
Pesce (lower leg) is expected to be in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Islanders.
Pesce was considered questionable heading into this game since he just returned from a long-term absence. However, it looks like he's good to play back-to-back days right away. Pesce should continue to see top-four usage in a mainly defensive role.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Considered game-time decision
Pesce (lower leg) will be a game-time decision for Friday's matchup against the Islanders, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.
Pesce made his season debut Thursday against Detroit after missing the first nine games of the year due to a lower leg injury. He recorded 17:33 of ice time against the Red Wings and had three shots on goal, a hit and a minus-1 rating. If he's available in the second half of the back-to-back, it wouldn't be surprising to see him remain in a top-four role.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Playing versus Wings
Pesce (lower leg) will be in the lineup to face Detroit on Thursday, Bill Spaulding of MSG Network reports.
Pesce will make his 2024-25 season debut after missing the first nine games of the campaign due to his lower leg injury. In addition to Pesce, the Devils will also welcome back Luke Hughes (shoulder) against the Red Wings. With both blueliners back in the lineup, Daniil Misyul and Simon Nemec figure to find themselves relegated to the press box as healthy scratches.
