Originally drafted in the third round of the 2013 NHL draft, Brett Pesce is already in his fifth season in the NHL. With 295 regular season games under his belt, the 24 year old has proved that he’s not only a key part of the Carolina Hurricanes blueline today, but he’s one of the better shutdown defenseman in the entire league.
Prior to turning pro, Pesce spent three season at the University of New Hampshire. Signing his entry level deal back in 2015, Brett made his NHL debut October 24th, 2015 against the San Jose sharks and hasn’t looked back since.
