The New Jersey Devils are going well. However, it\u2019s not going well for Brett Pesce at the moment.<\/p>\n

Crazy Eights: Jack Hughes Supremacy; Gritsyuk, Nemec Fuel Win over Avalanche<\/a><\/p>\n

In the first period of New Jersey\u2019s win over the Colorado Avalanche, Pesce blocked a shot toward the end of the opening frame. That was after he took a high stick to the face at the hands of Martin Necas. Yet, that didn\u2019t take him out of the game.<\/p>\n

When the Devils emerged for the second period, Pesce was missing. He wouldn\u2019t return for the following 40 minutes, and thus, he\u2019s going to miss some time.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, he\u2019s not great,\u201d Devils head coach Sheldon Keefe<\/a> explained. \u201cHe\u2019s gonna be out for sure, he\u2019s not going to travel.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Devils head out Sunday night for a four-game road-trip out west. So whereas we don\u2019t know how long Pesce will be on the sideline, we do know he will be out for at least the next week and a half.<\/p>\n

Keefe elaborated on the fact that Pesce suffered an upper-body injury when blocking a<\/a> Brent Burns shot.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, you say the blocked shot, he seems like he blocks every shot,\u201d Keefe explained. \u201cSo I\u2019m not sure which one you\u2019re referring to. I haven\u2019t seen it back yet, but that\u2019s the nature of the injury, yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jack Hughes<\/a>, who scored the game winning goal in overtime on Sunday, explained it\u2019s certainly concerning to lose Pesce\u2019s services.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, that hurts. That\u2019s a tough blow that he misses the rest of the game, and we\u2019ll see how he is,\u201d Jack said.<\/p>\n

The Devils are pretty nicked up right now. They\u2019re at 47-man games lost after Jacob Markstrom returned by surprise this weekend. Yet, are out of the services of five players at the moment, and three of them are to key players.<\/p>\n

New Jersey will certainly need to make a recall with Dennis Cholowski the lone extra player to head on the road with the Devils.<\/p>\n
