Brett Pesce - Not with team in Prague Pesce (lower leg) didn't travel with the Devils to Czechia on Sunday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports, indicating he will miss the start of the 2024-25 season. Impact The Devils and Sabres will open the 2024-25 campaign with games on Friday and Saturday in Prague as part of the NHL Global Series. Seamus Casey might get to make his NHL debut as a result of Pesce's absence. The 29-year-old Pesce has been listed as week-to-week since the beginning of training camp after suffering a fractured fibula in Game 2 of Carolina's first-round playoff series versus the Islanders in April. He skated as an extra in practice in New Jersey on Monday, per Catherine Bogart of the Devils' official site. Pesce will get more time to recover, but it's unclear if he will be ready to play in the team's home opener against Toronto on Oct. 10.
