On the other hand, Casey has yet another opportunity to prove himself, following an injury to veteran defenseman Brett Pesce. Per team reporter Amanda Stein, Pesce will not travel on the team’s upcoming road trip after suffering an upper-body injury against the Avalanche. The 21-year-old is certainly no stranger to stepping up during the Devils’ times of need. Last season, Casey played a total of 14 NHL games, during which he tallied four goals and four assists. His skills and offensive flair were a welcome addition, and he was recalled twice throughout the 2024-25 season. He also saw 9:13 of ice time in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, after the team faced numerous injuries to their blue line. Casey and the Devils will be back in action against the Avalanche on Tuesday night, kicking off a four-game road trip.
