Pesce, 29, recorded three goals and 13 points in 70 games with the Carolina Hurricanes last season. He added an assist in two playoff games before his team was eliminated by the New York Rangers in the second round.
Pesce’s best season came during the 2022-23 campaign where he recorded five goals and 30 points in 82 games. Meanwhile, the Devils are also bringing in defenceman Brenden Dillon, agreeing to terms on a three-year, $12 million deal with a $4 million cap hit. The 6-foot-4 left-shot defenceman is coming off a four-year, $15.6 million deal he signed with the Washington Capitals in October of 2020.
