63 Jesper Bratt LW

Bratt was added the the COVID-19 protocol list Wednesday, Corey Masisak of The Athletic reports.

Bratt has resided on injured reserve since Jan. 14, and it's likely that it was related to a mandatory quarantine due to COVID-19 protocols. The 22-year-old currently has no timetable for a return, but he won't be able to practice or travel with the team until he gains full clearance. Bratt is expected to jump into a middle-six role whenever he's cleared to play.

The Devils placed Bratt (undisclosed) on injured reserve Sunday, TSN reports.

Bratt missed all of training camp while engaging in contract negotiations with New Jersey, but he finally agreed to terns on a two-year extension Sunday, so his placement on IR is likely related to the mandatory quarantine he'll need to complete before joining the Devils. The 22-year-old winger should jump into a middle-six role whenever he's cleared to play.

The Devils signed Bratt to a two-year, $5.5 million extension on Sunday.

Bratt is coming off a solid 2019-20 campaign featuring a career-high 16 goals and his third straight 30-point season. The 22-year-old winger should have a spot in New Jersey's middle six and continue his consistent scoring pace this season.

Bratt netted a goal on two shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

Bratt has racked up five goals and four helpers in his last nine appearances. The 21-year-old winger is up to 32 points (16 goals, 16 helpers), 99 shots and a minus-4 rating in 58 games this year. He needs just three more points to match his career high of 35 from his rookie season.

Bratt registered two power-play assists and two blocked shots in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Ducks.

Bratt assisted on both of Pavel Zacha's goals in the contest -- the duo play together on the third line and second power-play unit. The 21-year-old Bratt has had a productive run with five goals and four helpers in his last nine outings. The Swede surpassed the 30-point mark for the third straight year. He now has 15 goals, 16 helpers, 96 shots and a minus-4 rating in 56 contests. A chance at the 40-point mark isn't out of the question for Bratt.

Bratt scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Capitals.

He opened the scoring midway through the first period by beating Ilya Samsonov on a clean breakaway, and he nearly had another goal in the second when he redirected a Nikita Gusev shot, only for the puck to clang off the post and get tucked home by Wayne Simmonds. Bratt now has five goals and 11 points in the last 12 games, and while he likely won't maintain that pace down the stretch, the 21-year-old should still be productive in a top-six role for the rebuilding Devils.

Bratt finished with two points in a 5-4 shootout loss to Montreal on Tuesday.

Bratt posted the primary assist on Miles Wood's opening goal and also scored a goal of his own later in the game that made 3-0 for the host Devils, though, their lead wouldn't last. Despite the loss, Bratt impressed and has now found the scoresheet in four consecutive contests.

Bratt collected two assists, one with the man advantage, in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over Ottawa.

Monday's game was Bratt's first multi-point outing since Dec. 27 (three points vs. Toronto) and moved him up to 18 points for the season, in 41 games. The first-line winger hasn't produced like a top-line player in 2019-20, so relying on Bratt for fantasy purposes is not what we'd call a wise strategy. He's better used in a reserve role, only being inserted when the matchup calls for it or in strategic DFS situations.

Bratt (undisclosed) will rejoin the lineup Saturday versus the Capitals, Chris Ryan of NJ.com reports.

Bratt spent the last three games in the press box but will give the Devils an offensive boost Saturday in his return to action. The 21-year-old winger hasn't quite reached the scoring pace he posted last year, but he has already matched his goal total (eight) from a season ago.

Bratt (undisclosed) was able to participate in Saturday's morning skate, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Bratt has missed the past three games, but this is a step in the right direction for the winger. It remains to be seen whether he's able to rejoin the lineup later Saturday in Washington.

Bratt (undisclosed) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Rangers, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Bratt will miss his third straight game, as he can't seem to shake this mystery injury. His absence will allow Ben Street to remain in the lineup, likely on the fourth line. Bratt will aim to get back in the lineup Saturday versus the Capitals.

Bratt (undisclosed) didn't participate in New Jersey's morning skate, essentially ruling him out for Tuesday's game against the Islanders, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Bratt will miss his second game in a row on account of the unspecified injury. Ben Street skated on the fourth line during the Devils' morning session and looks set to replace Bratt in the lineup once again.

Bratt (undisclosed) isn't on the ice for morning skate, indicating he won't be available for Saturday night's clash with Colorado, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

The injury comes at an unfortunate time for Bratt, as he's been hot lately, picking up two goals and five points while posting a plus-4 rating in his last five games. With Bratt unavailable, Ben Street will draw into the lineup and make his Devils debut against the Avalanche.

Bratt sustained an undisclosed injury against the Islanders on Thursday and is questionable to suit up for Saturday's matchup with the Avalanche, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

The Devils will already be without rookie Jack Hughes versus New York, making the potential absence of Bratt all that more impactful. If the winger does miss time, Nikita Gusev would be the most likely candidate to step into the top line in addition to replacing Bratt on the No. 1 power-play unit.

Bratt scored a goal and two assists in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

New Jersey's top line of Nico Hischier, Kyle Palmieri and Bratt had a hand in every one of the team's tallies and was largely responsible for the Devils even getting a point out of a game where they were mostly outplayed. Bratt had only six goals and 11 points through 31 games coming into Friday, but the 21-year-old's performance might encourage interim coach Alain Nasreddine to keep him in a top-six role for the time being, at least at even strength.

Bratt supplied a helper, three shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 7-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Bratt set up P.K. Subban's goal to start a four-score second period for the Devils. In 31 games this year, Bratt has picked up 11 points and 41 shots on goal. The winger is currently on the fourth line but could occasionally flank Nico Hischier if interim head coach Alain Nasreddine feels the need to shuffle his lines.

Bratt scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Predators.

Bratt also skated a team-low 9:49 in the contest. His tally put the Devils on the board at 2:45 of the first period, answering a quick pair of goals from the Predators. The 21-year-old has two goals in his last three games after previously going six straight contests without a point. For the year, the Swede is up to nine points and 29 shots on goal in 24 appearances.

Bratt scored a goal for the first time in eight games Tuesday against Vegas.

It was nice to see Bratt hit the scoresheet against the Golden Knights, but he's still only totaled eight points in 22 games for an underachieving Devils squad, making him a fringe option at best in most fantasy formats.

Bratt earned an assist in Friday's 2-1 win over the Penguins.

Bratt found veteran Travis Zajac at the doorstep for the third-year winger's third assist and seventh point of the season. The helper is nice and all, but it appears that Bratt is being too passive in the attacking zone; he's recorded just 13 shots through 15 games, albeit with a sterling shooting percentage of 30.8.

Bratt scored his fourth goal of the season in Sunday's 2-1 win over Vancouver.

Bratt's goal at 12:10 of the first period gave New Jersey a 2-0 lead, and outside of Brock Boeser's power-play goal in the second period, the Canucks were shut out Sunday, giving Bratt his first game-winning goal of 2019-20. He now has six points in 13 games.
