Pesce was put on injured reserve Monday with a lower-body injury.

Analysis:

Pesce appeared to have gotten healthy, suiting up with the Hurricanes on Tuesday before the All-Star break. Unfortunately, it seems the 21-year-old needs more time to get back to full health. For a defenseman, the rookie started the season with decent numbers but has struggled since, recording just a single point in his last 10 outings.
