Brett Pesce's Injury Dealt a Major Hit to the Defense of the Carolina Hurricanes | ESPN

Wednesday, April 24th, 2024

Defenseman Brett Pesce of the Carolina Hurricanes has incurred a serious injury to his lower body and is expected to be out of action for an undetermined length of time.

The injury took place in the Hurricanes' second game win against the Islanders, which put Carolina ahead 2-0 in the series. Pesce was on the ice for only 8 minutes and 47 seconds during the match, and the exact moment of the injury is still unknown.

As a vital component of the Hurricanes' lineup, Pesce might try to endure the injury and continue playing in the playoffs, though it is likely he will miss a number of initial games.

In Pesce's absence, Tony DeAngelo is poised to take over his position on the right side of the defense. The team also has Dylan Coghlan and Scott Morrow as additional defensive options.
