Jesper Bratt News
Bratt is expected to miss 2-3 weeks with a fractured jaw.

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.

Bratt (lower-body) will not play Thursday vs. the Rangers.

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.
