Bratt left Tuesday’s game against the Blue Jackets with a lower-body injury and will miss at least a couple of weeks. The Devils lineup continues to take hits as they’re now without six members of their top-9.
Jesper Bratt News
Bratt will miss Monday’s game against the Canadiens, which is a tough break because the young Swedish winger has been heating up lately—scoring three goals with eight assists (11 points) in his last 11 games.
Bratt missed the Devils morning skate on Monday and is listed as a game-time decision for tonight's game vs. the Lightning. Stefan Noesen skated in Bratt's spot on the second line, so look for him to get top-6 minutes tonight if Bratt is unavailable.
Bratt has missed the first 13 games of the season after suffering a fractured jaw in practice right before the season started. Brett had 35 points (13G / 22A) while firing 100 shots in 74 games last season.
Bratt has missed the first eight games of the season but is nearing his season debut. Bratt will travel on the Devils upcoming road-trip, but that doesn’t guarantee that he will play Tuesday in Tampa Bay. Monitor his status as the week moves along.
Bratt is a week and a half into a 2-3 week timetable with a fractured jaw. Bratt will return to the ice on Thursday and should re-join his teammates for practice this weekend or early next week.
Bratt suffered a fractured jaw after he was hit in the face by a puck that deflected off of the crossbar during Thursday’s practice. With Bratt out, the team signed veteran winger Drew Stafford to a one-year deal after playing on a PTO during training camp. Stefan Noesen is expected to move up into the top-6 in the Devils’ season opener with Bratt sidelined.
With Miles Wood out with an upper-body injury, Bratt will play tonight in San Jose. Bratt has been a healthy scratch in two of the last three games, but returns with 13 goals and 22 assists (35 points) in 68 games this season.
Bratt has been in the lineup for the last three games and picked up one assist in those games, but will be replaced by Travis Zajac (undisclosed) tonight in Vegas.
Bratt missed Thursday’s game vs. the Rangers but will be back in tonight vs. the Blackhawks. Bratt will skate on a line with Marcus Johansson and Travis Zajac and comes in with two goals and four assists (six points) in his last seven games.
Bratt was hurt while blocking a shot on Monday and will not play tonight. Bratt was given a “maintenance day” on Wednesday but it looks like it was a little more than maintenance. Luckily for the Devils, Marcus Johansson (ankle) will return tonight to replace Bratt in the lineup.
