Pesce (illness) won't play against Washington on Saturday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Pesce will miss his second straight game. He has recorded one goal, seven assists, 19 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and six hits in 19 appearances this season. Pesce has some extra time to recover ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Montreal, but it's unclear if he will be ready to return to the lineup by then.
