Pesce (undisclosed) will not suit up Friday against the Flyers, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pesce has now missed the last three games with an undisclosed injury and it's unclear when he's expected to return. His next chance to crack the lineup will be Saturday against the Blues.

Pesce (undisclosed) is considered week-to-week and will not join the team for its two-game road trip, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Through the first nine games of the season, Pesce has recorded five points, including three with the man advantage. Without the 26-year-old New York native in the lineup, Tony DeAngelo should be expected to see an uptick in ice time and power-play opportunities.

Pesce (undisclosed) didn't play in the third period of Wednesday's game versus the Blackhawks. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour didn't have an update on the defenseman's status after the game, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pesce was initially injured in the second period and missed some time in that frame before returning, but he was out for all of the third. It's unclear what kind of injury the 26-year-old is dealing with, but he's a key part of the Hurricanes' defense. More information should surface before Saturday's game against the Panthers.

Pesce notched a pair of assists in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Pesce recorded a career-best points per game of 0.45 last season (25 points in 55 games), and is off to a terrific start this season. Normally known more for his stay-at-home defensive style, Pesce is finding his way onto the spreadsheet with increasing regularity these days -- partly because because he's surrounded by oodles of talent in Raleigh. If he's still available in your league, snap him up.

Pesce scored a goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Lightning in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Pesce tallied a long-range shot on a feed from Andrei Svechnikov at 5:15 of the second period. The 26-year-old Pesce started the playoffs hot with four points in three games before going scoreless in the last five. The defenseman has added 23 shots on net, 20 blocked shots, 16 hits and a plus-3 rating in nine outings overall.

Pesce notched an assist, five blocked shots, two hits and two PIM in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Predators in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Pesce helped out on a Sebastian Aho empty-net goal in the third period. Beyond that, Pesce was his usual steady self on defense to lead the team with five blocks. He briefly went to the locker room during the first period, but it didn't stop him from leading the Hurricanes with 28:01 of ice time. The 26-year-old has three helpers, seven hits, seven blocks and a plus-3 rating through two playoff contests.

Pesce notched two assists, three shots on goal, five hits, a plus-3 rating and two blocked shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Predators in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Pesce did just about everything beyond scoring a goal of his own. He set up the Hurricanes' first two tallies, scored by Teuvo Teravainen and Jordan Staal. The 26-year-old Pesce worked in a top-four role in the regular season and produced 25 points in 55 games. He'll likely feature in a similar capacity in the postseason, although he may need to focus more on defense against sterner competition.

Pesce (rest) will be back in action against the Predators for Monday's Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Pesce was rested for the regular-season finale in order to get ready for the playoffs. Prior to sitting out, the blueliner was bogged down in an eight-game goal drought, during which he managed just two helpers despite averaging 21:15 of ice time. Pesce won't see minutes on the power play like Dougie Hamilton, so his offensive upside will be limited.

EDGE Analysis
