Brett Pesce News: Expected to play Thursday

Published on October 8, 2025

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.
