The New Jersey Devils are facing significant injury challenges in the 2025-26 season, with defenseman Simon Nemec sidelined due to a lower-body injury that will keep him out until at least the holiday break. Despite a promising breakout season with 18 points in 31 games, Nemec’s injury halts his progress. Meanwhile, veteran defenseman Brett Pesce is nearing a return, having participated in practice, which could help mitigate the loss of Nemec as the team competes in the Metropolitan Division playoff race.
