Brett Pesce got injured during the game on Sunday against the Colorado Avalanche, he ended up not returning after blocking a shot from Brent Burns with about 5:21 remaining in the first period.

It has already been confirmed by the Devils' head coach, Sheldon Keefe, that it is an upper-body injury. The fact that it was stated he will be missing at least a month rather than just a month alone is quite concerning.
