Bratt (shoulder) will have offseason surgery but should be ready for the beginning of training camp in the fall, the Devils announced Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bratt will be unavailable to participate in the 2025 IIHF World Championship for Sweden, but he probably won't miss the beginning of the 2025-26 campaign. He amassed 21 goals, 88 points, 180 shots on net and 96 hits across 81 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. Bratt added one goal, two helpers, 20 shots on target, six hits and five blocks in five playoff outings during New Jersey's first-round defeat versus Carolina.

Bratt notched an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 double-overtime win over the Hurricanes in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Bratt has a goal, two helpers, nine shots and a minus-2 rating over three playoff contests after setting up a Dawson Mercer goal in Friday's win. The 26-year-old Bratt ended the regular season on a four-game slide, so this is a nice return to form for the winger. He should continue to see top-six minutes and power-play time.

Bratt scored a goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Bratt has been involved in both of the Devils' goals in the series, though that's not an encouraging level of team production. The 26-year-old winger has added six shots on net, two hits and a minus-3 rating. He'll continue to function in the top six and on the first power-play unit, but the Devils will need to get more scoring overall to avoid being one-and-done for this playoff run.

Bratt notched an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Bratt set up a Nico Hischier tally late in the second period, but that was all the Devils could put on the board. Bratt had one game off at the end of the regular season for rest after going four contests without a point. The Devils have a tough first-round matchup, so they'll need Bratt to get back into the form that saw him rack up a career-high 88 points over 81 regular-season outings.

Bratt (rest) will play in Game 1 versus Carolina on Sunday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bratt sat out the final game of the regular season to avoid any chance of an injury. He set new career highs in assists (67) and points (88) across 81 regular-season games. He will serve on the top line, alongside Nico Hischier and Stefan Noesen, as well as the first power play.

Bratt won't play in Wednesday's regular-season finale against the Red Wings due to rest purposes, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bratt had appeared in each of the Devils' first 81 games of the season, and he put together a career-best year, logging 21 goals, 67 assists, 96 hits, 42 blocked shots and 18 PIM while averaging 18:57 of ice time. He'll get a breather to close out the regular season since New Jersey's playoff positioning has already been decided, but he should reclaim a prominent role once the postseason begins.

Bratt notched a shorthanded goal and added an even-strength assist in a 4-0 victory over the Rangers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Bratt gave the Devils a 2-0 lead shortly after Timo Meier got the icebreaker during a New Jersey power play. The 26-year-old Bratt ended his seven-game goal drought by posting his third multi-point effort in his last five outings. He has amassed 21 goals and 88 points in 77 appearances this season.

Bratt recorded two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old winger continues to add to his career-best campaign. Bratt has five multi-point performances in the last 10 games, a stretch in which he's racked up three goals and 16 points, and he needs four more points over the Devils' final seven contests to reach 90 for the first time.

Bratt notched two assists, one on the power play and one shorthanded, in Wednesday's 5-3 win over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Both helpers came in the second period, as Bratt had a hand in Ondrej Palat's shortie and Dawson Mercer's eventual game-winner. Bratt has gotten onto the scoresheet in seven of the last eight games, erupting for three goals and 14 points over that span, and the 26-year-old has established a new career high with 84 points (20 goals, 64 assists) on the season.

Bratt logged a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Bratt is on a tear with three goals and eight assists over his last six outings. Four of his helpers in that span have come with the man advantage, including the one that set up a Nico Hischier tally in this contest. Bratt is up to 81 points (31 on the power play), and he has added 158 shots on net, 82 hits and a plus-8 rating through 71 appearances as one of the Devils' most consistent forwards this season. His current hot stretch comes after a lull that saw him limited to two assists over six games between Feb. 26 and March 9.
