Pesce was hit in the head with a puck in practice on Tuesday when a shot rode up his stick and caught him up high. Pesce was helped off the ice and evaluated, though Peters didn't have an official word on his condition until Wednesday.
Pesce is now in the concussion protocol. He will not travel with the team on this road trip to Colorado and Arizona and will remain sidelined until he's cleared.
Klas Dahlbeck is expected to draw back into the Canes' lineup on Thursday night in Colorado.
