New Jersey Devils defenseman Brett Pesce (lower leg) is expected to make his season debut in Thursday's matchup against the Red Wings. Pesce has been sidelined since breaking his leg in the playoffs last season. Thursday's game will also mark Pesce's debut with the Devils after he spent his first nine years in the league with the Carolina Hurricanes. He had a career-low 13 points (three goals, 10 assists) in 70 games last season. The 29-year-old is one of the players who is much more effective in real life than he is in fantasy hockey. With Luke Hughes (shoulder) also ready to join the lineup, Daniil Misyul and Simon Nemec are expected to be scratched on Thursday.

New Jersey Devils defenseman Brett Pesce (lower leg) didn't travel with the team to Czechia to take on the Buffalo Sabres later in the week. The two teams will clash in a 2024 NHL Global Series matchup, which will kick off the 2024-25 NHL regular-season campaign. Pesce is recovering from a fractured fibula and remains week-to-week. The veteran blue-liner did skate with the team last week, so he shouldn't miss too many games at the start of the season. Seamus Casey could make his NHL debut in Pesce's absence in Prague.
