| Regular Season Statistics with the Franchise Stats in bold signifies team leader. |
There's no two ways about what to expect from Peluso. He'll just flat out beat the shit out of ya. At least that was the case as a
pro.
As an amateur, both in his homestate and at Alaska-Anchorage, he was an offensive defenseman that also used his size well.
The move to forward and the change in role to enforcer occurred when he signed on with the Blackhawks.
His offensive game opened up again in his only season with the Senators. And the trade back to the team that drafted him
brought on the creation of one of the most famous fourth lines... at least in the 90s, in the Crash Line.
But as us Devils fans know, even though he played brutal, he did show a kinder, gentler side of him... ONCE in a while. lol The
Cup changes everything.
He got to see games with the Blues and the Calgary Flames before career's end, and in an unfortunate way, too. A neck and
spinal cord injury, and rather than keep playing and risk paralysis, he opted to retire.
