New Jersey Devils' Jesper Bratt Nearing Major Milestone
Jesper Bratt (© John Jones-Imagn Images)After a 4-0 loss to the Winnipeg Jets, the New Jersey Devils bounced back in an impressive way against the Minnesota Wild. The Devils defeated the Central Division club by a 5-2 final score and improved to 39-29-7 record for the season.
Without much surprise, Bratt stepped up big in the Devils' latest victory. The star winger had two assists in the contest, improving his total to 66 for the season.
Bratt has been incredible all season, and he is now nearing a major milestone because of it. The 2016 sixth-round pick needs to record only four more points to hit the 90-point mark for the first time in his eight-year career.
When looking at how wonderfully Bratt has been playing down the stretch, it is hard to bet against him recording 90 points if he stays healthy. In his last 10 games, the 5-foot-10 winger has recorded 16 points, so he has undoubtedly been red-hot.
The Devils have seven regular-season games remaining, so Bratt has some time left to get his 90th point of the campaign. Let's see if he can do just that from here.
