Pesce appears to be dealing with a minor injury. The 29-year-old has been held to just one assist in his last 16 games, giving him 13 points in 69 games this season. He'll be considered questionable for Sunday's game in Chicago.

Pesce notched two assists while adding five shots on net, one blocked shot, one hit and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

It's his first multi-point performance since Jan. 13, snapping a slump that had seen Pesce manage only one assist over his prior 15 games. The 29-year-old blueliner had reliably delivered at least 25 points in each of the last three seasons, but his offensive contributions have cratered in 2023-24, and he's eked out only three goals and 10 points through 50 contests.

The 29-year-old has just eight points through 44 outings this season after recording 30 points in 2022-23. Pesce has added 70 shots on net, 75 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. Despite his drop in offense, he has maintained a top-four role for his defensive work.

Pesce (illness) isn't available Saturday versus New Jersey, per Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal.

EDGE Analysis

Pesce was a game-time decision but didn't join the Hurricanes for the pregame warmups. He has three goals and seven points in 41 outings in 2023-24. With Pesce set to miss his second straight contest, Tony DeAngelo is projected to remain in the lineup.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Pesce scored twice Saturday in a 3-2 overtime win over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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 game, it wouldn't be surprising for him to see fewer minutes in the contest.
