Pesce exited Sunday's 4-3 win over the Colorado Avalanche in the first period after only 6:07 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury. The 30-year-old defenseman has been a stabilizing force on New Jersey's blueline, averaging 19:39 time-on-ice and scoring three points (0G / 3A) in nine games. Seamus Casey draws into the Devils' lineup on Tuesday, filling in for Pesce on the blueline.
