Devils' Jesper Bratt: Game taking another step forward
Rotowire
Bratt scored a goal and added an assist in a 5-3 win over Pittsburgh on Thursday.
Bratt gave the Devils a lead early in the second period that they would never relinquish. While on a 4-on-4, he scored his eighth of the season on a wrist shot from the left circle. Bratt's game has exploded this season -- the winger has eight goals, 14 assists (22 points) in just 15 games. Remarkably, he already has 15 power-play points after putting up 22 in 82 games last season. It's worth noting, though that his 25.0 shooting percentage is almost double his career mark of 13.2. Expect some regression to the mean, at least from a goal-scoring perspective. However, Bratt has become a primetime player and is on track to shatter his career mark of 73 points, which he scored in each of the last two seasons.

Devils' Jesper Bratt: Commits to eight-year deal
Rotowire
Bratt, who was eligible to become a restricted free agent this summer, inked an eight-year, $63 million contract with New Jersey on Thursday.

Still just 24 years old, Bratt has the potential to continue to perform at a high level throughout the life of this contract. The Devils also have Nico Hischier and Jack Hughes locked up through at least 2026-27 at cap hits of $7.25 million and $8 million, respectively.
