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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

Pesce's absence Monday makes him questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Senators. Considering the defenseman is currently mired in a 15-game drought and has just one goal and one assist this season, his potential absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
