The Devils have activated defenseman Brett Pesce from injured reserve.

New Jersey also placed forward Arseny Gritsyuk (upper body) on the Injured Reserve list.

Pesce was injured in late October in a game against the Colorado Avalanche. He had played in nine games this season, with three assists. He is expected to be paired with Luke Hughes in his return tonight against the Vegas Golden Knights.
