Devils' Bratt Elevating His Game to New Heights
March 10th, 2020 Expectations were quite high for New Jersey Devils' winger Jesper Bratt entering the season. He only played in 51 games in his second pro campaign in 2018-19 but produced at a 52-point over 82 games. The hope was he'd continue building on that step forward in 2019-20, but that's not how things started out. He totaled seven points in his...
Hall Trade Gives Bratt a Big Opportunity
December 20th, 2019 It's a new era for the New Jersey Devils. They no longer have their best player on the team, as they traded star winger Taylor Hall to the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for picks and prospects. It's close to impossible to replace a player of his caliber, especially one who won the Hart Trophy just 18 months ago. But...
Devils Still Seeking Right Lineup
October 9th, 2019 Hype. That's one word associated with the New Jersey Devils at the beginning of the 2019-20 season. They had one of the most active offseasons of any NHL team, so the excitement was understandable. But that's quickly vanished after a less than satisfying start to the season. They blew a four-goal lead in the final 20 minutes of...
Bratt Will Be Key to Boosting Devils’ Offense
September 12th, 2019 When Ray Shero took over as New Jersey Devils' general manager, one thing on top of his to-do list was rebuild a farm system that had been left barren by the previous regime. The first draft class with his staff in place came in 2016, where they took Michael McLeod with the 12th overall pick. But so far, it's not McLeod who's been the...
Devils to Watch at the 2019 World Championship
May 10th, 2019 The 2019 IIHF World Championship starts May 10 in Slovakia, and for New Jersey Devils fans, there are plenty of players to keep an eye on. Not only will both Jack Hughes and Kaapo Kakko be playing for their respective countries as they continue to showcase to their talent ahead of the 2019 NHL draft, but a total of six Devils players...

Devils' Bratt Producing Through Team's Struggles
March 5th, 2019 There hasn't been a lot to cheer about with the New Jersey Devils this season. They've won just 21 games since their 4-0-0 start and are in a race for the 'Jack Hughes Sweepstakes' at the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. They've also been decimated by a rash of injuries to star players like Taylor Hall, Kyle Palmieri, and Nico...
Devils Need Bratt Back Soon
October 27th, 2018 Jesper Bratt has yet to play in a game for the New Jersey Devils in 2018-19. He's missed the team's first seven games with a fractured jaw, which he suffered while they were in Sweden as a part of the NHL Global Series. The Devils are 4-2-1 without Bratt, but his presence has certainly been missed. They're still scoring...
Devils Standouts From the Preseason
October 1st, 2018 The New Jersey Devils have closed the NHL portion of their preseason schedule, with their finale coming against SC Bern of Switzerland. They'll now turn their attention to getting ready for the regular season, which begins this Saturday. The Devils had a few notable performances during the preseason. Which players seem to determined...
Bratt's Fairy Tale Season Has Devilish End
May 18th, 2018 Of the first-year players on the 2017-18 New Jersey Devils, Jesper Bratt may have been the biggest surprise of them all. “He kind of came out of nowhere in camp,” teammate Kyle Palmieri told reporters back on Oct. 11. “Not many guys or media really knew who he was.” If you weren't familiar with Bratt before this season, it's...
Bratt Following Footsteps of Swedish Legend
February 6th, 2018 “I saw a few highlights of him playing in Sweden. He’s an interesting story - he didn’t play in the Swedish Elite League, he played in the second league with AIK and had a really good year. He got the chance over here and I’m happy that they give players like that a chance - he’s not the biggest guy but he has tons of speed and...
Hall & Hischier: a Devilish Dynamic Duo
December 14th, 2017 Think of all of the instances in recent memory where an NHL team has had two no. 1 overall picks in their lineup. Obviously, the Edmonton Oilers had four (4!) at once, but that’s an anomaly (and they’re not all there anymore). There’s the Pittsburgh Penguins obviously with Sidney Crosby and Marc-Andre Fleury (now with Vegas), the...
Healthy Hall Enjoying a Sizzling Season
December 4th, 2017 Despite blazing speed, a wicked shot, and insane offensive instincts, Taylor Hall's National Hockey League career has been as tumultuous as it has been successful. As the first-overall selection in the 2010 NHL Draft, Hall's on-ice abilities have never come into question. Capable of darting down the wing before ripping a shot on goal...
