"It is such a short tournament, so they are trying to get you in a position you are used to from the regular season and from your club team," Bratt said to NJD.TV. "They obviously wanted to use the strength, good defensive play, and net-front presence of Joel Eriksson Ek. He is one of the best guys in the league of, being a tough center, a two-way player that really does a great job in front of the net, too. Me and (Lucas) Raymond can use our speed, our skill through the neutral zone and create a lot of chances to the O-Zone kind of similar to what me and Jack do. It is an exciting line."

Bratt entered the tournament on an eight-game point streak with the Devils, earning 64 points (17 goals, 47 assists) in 57 games.
