Questionable status Saturday Pesce (illness) will be a game-time decision versus New Jersey on Saturday. Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Pesce missed Thursday's tilt versus the Avalanche. Pesce has regressed offensively this season, lighting the lamp on three occasions while adding four assists in 41 games. Check in close to puck drop to see if he is in the lineup.

Sitting out Thursday Pesce (illness) won't play Thursday versus the Avalanche.

Impact Pesce will miss at least one contest while battling an illness. The 29-year-old has been a top-four fixture for the Hurricanes this season, but he has just two goals over his last 12 outings, and both tallies were in the same game. Look for Tony DeAngelo to dress Thursday, while Pesce is day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game versus the Devils.

Rare two-goal game Pesce scored twice Saturday in a 3-2 overtime win over Pittsburgh.

Impact Pesce wired a wrist shot from the right circle early in the first period to open the scoring. And his second came 1:41 into overtime to seal the win. Pesce isn't known for his scoring - his last two-goal game came a year and day before against San Jose (Jan. 12, 2023). Pesce has three goals and four assists in 34 games this season. Enjoy the output, but don't count on him in fantasy.

Brett Pesce scores in regulation and overtime in Hurricanes' 3-2 victory over Penguins

Brett Pesce scored his second goal of the game at 1:41 of overtime to give the Carolina Hurricanes a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night

JANUARY 14, 2024 • Associated Press

Set to play Pesce (illness) is in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Senators, per the NHL media site.

Impact Pesce's presence in the lineup comes with a little bit of insurance on the back end, as Tony DeAngelo will also play as the seventh defensemen. Brendan Lemieux will be the Hurricanes' healthy scratch. Considering Pesce was questionable coming into the contest, it wouldn't be surprising for him to see fewer minutes in the contest.

Questionable for Tuesday Pesce (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Ottawa, per Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer.

Impact Pesce managed to take part in Tuesday's morning skate after missing practice Monday, which bodes well for his availability. He has earned one goal, one assist, 30 shots on net and 38 blocked shots in 19 outings this campaign. If Pesce can't play, Tony DeAngelo is available to serve as a replacement.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Under the weather Pesce didn't practice Monday due to an illness, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Pesce's absence Monday makes him a doubt heading into a clash with the Senators on Tuesday. Considering the defenseman is currently mired in a 15-game pointless streak and has just one goal and one assist this season, his potential absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scoring drought continues Pesce extended his current pointless streak to 10 games in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.

Impact Although he's not typically known for his offensive prowess, Pesce has been uncharacteristically quiet since returning from an eight-game absence due to a lower-body injury in early November. He now has just two points (1G, 1A) in 15 games this season, and shouldn't be on anyone's fantasy radar.

DECEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Friday Pesce (lower-body) is in Friday's lineup against Florida, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Pesce will return from an eight-game absence Friday. He pocketed one goal with one assist in five games prior to his injury. With Pesce back in the lineup, Tony DeAngelo will take a seat in the press box as a healthy scratch.

NOVEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could play Friday Pesce (lower body) has been practicing and will be a game-time decision in Florida on Friday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Pesce was injured Oct. 19 in Seattle and had surgery five days later. The prognosis after surgery was a 2-4 week absence and Pesce is currently within that window. The defenseman has a goal and an assist in five games this season. Stay tuned.

NOVEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Has surgery, out 2-4 weeks Pesce underwent surgery Tuesday due to his lower-body injury, and the Hurricanes announced Wednesday that he's expected to miss 2-4 weeks.

Impact Pesce's timetable sounded worse when coach Rod Brind'Amour told Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal on Wednesday that the 28-year-old defenseman's timetable was "way more" than week-to-week. Now it seems Pesce might return in mid-November if his recovery goes well. In the meantime, Jalen Chatfield is likely to play regularly, and Tony DeAngelo might serve in an expanded role.

Hurricanes' Brett Pesce out long term with lower-body injury Hurricanes coach Brind'Amour said they got "bad news" on Pesce and that his timetable to return is "way more than week to week."

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Out long term Pesce's (lower body) timetable is "way more" than week-to-week, coach Rod Brind'Amour told Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal on Wednesday.

Impact Pesce has already missed two straight contests due to the injury, and it seems the Hurricanes will have to manage without him for a while longer. He has a goal and two points in five contests this season while averaging 19:21 of ice time. Jalen Chatfield, who was a healthy scratch in two of Carolina's first five games, will likely play regularly while Pesce is unavailable. Tony DeAngelo has also seen his ice time increase during Pesce's absence, jumping to an average of 17:41 over the past two contests compared to 14:04 during the Hurricanes' first five outings.

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not on trip Pesce (lower body) didn't make the trip to Tampa Bay for Tuesday's game versus the Lightning, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Although the Hurricanes have yet to release a concrete timetable for his recovery, the fact that Pesce didn't even make the trip for Tuesday's contest suggests he may not be particularly close to returning. Dylan Coghlan will likely stick with Carolina as an extra defender until Pesce is ready to rock.

OCTOBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Missing Saturday's game Pesce (lower body) won't play Saturday versus the Avalanche.

Impact Pesce's absence likely means Jalen Chatfield will be in the lineup with the Hurricanes going back to a traditional six-defensemen group. The severity of the injury hasn't been revealed. Pesce has two points and 14 blocked shots through five contests. The Hurricanes' next game is Tuesday versus the Lightning.

OCTOBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tacks on goal Pesce scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact Pesce's goal was the Hurricanes' sixth of the game and the last of their four tallies in a 6:01 span during the third period. The defenseman has earned both of his points, a goal and an a helper, over the last two games. He's added six shots on net, 10 blocked shots, five hits, four PIM and a plus-5 rating through four contests overall.

OCTOBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Registers assist Sunday Pesce notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Ducks.

Impact The helper was Pesce's first point through three games this season. The 28-year-old put up a career-high 30 points in 82 contests last season -- that's likely closer to his ceiling than his floor for offense. In 2023-24, he's managed a plus-3 rating, three shots on goal, eight blocked shots and five hits over three contests, so he could be a solid source of non-scoring production in deeper fantasy formats.
