They notably lost key defensemen Luke Hughes, Brenden Dillon, and Johnathan Kovacevic to injury during their first-round series against the Carolina Hurricanes. Superstar forward Jack Hughes was also sidelined throughout the playoffs after suffering a season-ending injury in early March. These were not the only Devils [https://news.google.com/publications/CAAqLQgKIidDQklTRndnTWFoTUtFWFJvWldodlkydGxlVzVsZDNNdVkyOXRLQUFQAQ/sections/CAQqEAgAKgcICjCvqtILMO7F6QMwpeDfCA?hl=en-CA&gl=CA&ceid=CA:en] who were injured, though. While speaking to team reporter Amanda Stein [https://x.com/amandacstein/status/1917939484638798236], Devils defenseman Brett Pesce revealed that he suffered a shoulder injury during Game 1 of the Devils' series against Carolina but played through it. Although Pesce was injured, he undoubtedly played major minutes for the Devils during their first-round series against the Hurricanes. The right-shot blueliner played over 22 minutes in every game of the series and played over 32 minutes in both Games 3 and 5 for the Devils. Pesce was a bright spot for the Devils during the playoffs, too, as he recorded three assists and a plus-4 rating in five games. He also notably recorded two of his assists in Game 5, so he did his best to keep the Devils alive. Pesce signed a six-year, $33 million contract with the Devils this past off-season. In 72 games with the Devils this campaign, he posted three goals, 14 assists, 17 points, and 138 blocks.
