Tallies first goal this season Pesce scored a goal, fired five shots on net and recorded four blocks in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Islanders.

Impact Pesce opened the scoresheet just over 15 minutes into Tuesday's contest with his first goal of the season. The twine finder was his first point since returning from long-term injured reserve three games prior. Since his return, the 31-year-old blueliner has averaged three blocks per game and has skated over 20 minutes in each contest. With 36 blocks on the season through 13 games, he would likely be challenging Toronto's Jake McCabe for the league lead in blocks had Pesce not gotten injured. Now that he's back in New Jersey's lineup, he is an intriguing option in category-based fantasy leagues with 30-point upside offensively.

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • NHL.COM

Taken off injured reserve Pesce (upper body) has been activated off injured reserve ahead of Wednesday's clash with Vegas, per the NHL media site.

Impact Pesce's activation will clear the way for him to play against the Golden Knights as expected. The veteran blueliner is poised to link up with Luke Hughes on the Devils' second pairing, while Dennis Cholowski is relegated to a spot in the press box as a healthy scratch. Pesce will be looking for his first goal of the season after having failed to bend the twine in his nine outings before getting hurt.

Expected back Wednesday Pesce (upper body) is slated to return for Wednesday's clash with Vegas, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

Impact Pesce will need to be activated off long-term injured reserve in order to get into the lineup versus the Knights, but all signs point to the blueliner returning from his 24-game absence. In limited action this season (nine games), the New York native hasn't offered much offensive upside, generating zero goals and eight shots to go with a trio of assists.

East-leading Devils face another extended stint without best player Jack Hughes

The New Jersey Devils are atop the Eastern Conference six weeks into the NHL season, but now they have to play the next two months without top center and leading scorer Jack Hughes

NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • Associated Press

Moved to long-term injured reserve Pesce (upper body) was moved from regular IR to long-term injured reserve Saturday, per PuckPedia.

Impact 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 activate C Cody Glass from injured reserve, F Connor Brown still out

New Jersey Devils center Cody Glass returned to the lineup Thursday night against the Montreal Canadiens, and forward Connor Brown remained out

NOVEMBER 7, 2025 • Associated Press

On injured reserve Pesce (upper body) was put on injured reserve Thursday.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.
