Mike Morreale: New Jersey Devils defenseman Brett Pesce took part in their pregame skate yesterday but he’s not close to game action according to coach Sheldon Keefe.
“He’s not close to playing at this point but it was just encouraging to get him on the ice with more humans,” New Jersey coach Sheldon Keefe said. “He’s been skating by himself for the most part, and with one or two other injured guys, but good to get him with the group.
