Eligibility
Availability
Brett Pesce added a hit, a shot, a blocked shot, and his fifth goal of the season in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.
Fantasy Impact
Pesce has been a solid producer in multiple categories this year. He has 30 points in 79 games, which is not a lot, but that level of offence paired with production across the board in other categories makes for a solid back-end option in deep leagues. He does not need to be rostered to close out the season, but if you are desperate you could do worse.
Brett Pesce added assists 23 and 24 on the season in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Bruins.
Fantasy Impact
Pesce has been a serviceable defenceman for deeper category leagues for most of the season. While he won't thrive in any area in particular, he probably won't hurt you either. On the season he is up to four goals and 24 assists, as well as 124 shots, 97 blocks, and 32 hits. If you are desperate for help on the blue line, he is not the worst option, though this late in the year it is best to chase upside or ride the hot hand.
Brett Pesce earned two assists, and added two shots, a hit, and a blocked shot, in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Canadiens.
Fantasy Impact
Pesce is up to four goals and 20 assists in 62 games this year. He offers modest offensive upside while being able to contribute in multiple defensive areas. He works better in category leagues than points leagues but does not need to be rostered in either unless you are desperate for a defensive stream on a small slate.
Brett Pesce added three shots, a block, and an assist in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Ducks
Fantasy Impact
Pesce had become quite the category stuffer over the winter months, however, a seven-game pointless drought derailed most of his progress. He remains a deeper league option if you are desperate for help on defence, however, his offensive upside will most likely be capped at around 30 points this season.
Brett Pesce added two shots, five penalty minutes, and assists 15 and 16 of the season in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Stars.
Fantasy Impact
Pesce has had a decent year offensively, with 20 points in 47 games. He is not a must-roster option at this time, but if you are in desperate need of defensive help in a deeper format, you could do worse than Pesce.
