Bratt was credited with an assist Saturday, but the Devils fell to the Red Wings 5-2.

EDGE Analysis

Bratt, who scored a career-high 26 goals last season, is showing last season's production might not be a fluke. The 24-year-old left winger earned an assist as Dougie Hamilton opened the scoring Saturday. Bratt's 73 points last season more than doubled his previous career best (35 points as a rookie in 2017-18). Bratt dished out two assists during the Devils' season opener on Thursday.

Bratt led the Devils with two assists in a 5-2 loss to the Flyers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

One of the helpers came on the power play. Bratt more than doubled his best scoring total when he delivered 73 points (26 games, 47 assists) in 76 games. That tally might be hard to repeat, but Bratt will likely come close and that makes him a valuable fantasy performer in most formats.

Bratt and the Devils agreed to terms on a one-year, $5.45 million contract Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bratt and New Jersey were set for an arbitration hearing Wednesday but it appears the two sides were able to reach some middle ground before the hearing began. The 24-year-old winger will be trying to replicate the 73-point campaign he put together last year, a far cry from his previous four seasons in which he didn't even reach the 40-point mark.

Bratt finished the season with 26 goals and 47 assists in 76 games.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old winger flirted with a point per game throughout the season and ultimately came up a little short with 73 points in 76 appearances, though he still led the Devils in points and finished tied with Jack Hughes (knee) for the team goals lead. On the heels of this breakout season, Bratt should earn a substantial raise as a restricted free agent in the offseason.

Bratt (illness) will return to the lineup Sunday against the Red Wings, Marc Ciampa of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Getting Bratt back will provide a major boost for the Devils considering he leads the team in points with 70. A non-COVID illness kept Bratt sidelined Saturday against the Hurricanes, and the bug appears to be making its way through the rest of the team, according to coach Lindy Ruff.

Bratt (illness) won't play Saturday against the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Bratt will miss at least one contest due to a non-COVID illness. With Bratt on the shelf, look for Nolan Foote to draw into the lineup versus Carolina. Bratt will be reevaluated ahead of Sunday's matinee matchup with Detroit.

Bratt (illness) is expected back in the lineup versus the Sabres on Thursday, per NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Bratt was back skating in a top-six role at Thursday's game-day skate and will look to build upon the five points he put up in his last six outings. In addition to his five-on-five role, the 23-year-old winger should reclaim a spot on the No. 1 power-play unit where he should be capable of offering top-half fantasy value.

Bratt is under the weather with a non-COVID illness and should be considered questionable against the Sabres on Thursday, Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bratt has found his offensive game of late, as he has recorded three goals and two assists in his last six contests. If the 23-year-old winger is unable to play versus Buffalo, Yegor Sharangovich should have the inside track on the second-line role, though Janne Kuokkanen could be in contention as well.

Bratt scored a goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Bratt opened the scoring 3:12 into the game with his 25th goal of the year and his 200th career point. It took the 23-year-old just 301 games to reach the milestone point total. He's earned three goals and two helpers in his last five outings. For the season, he's at 70 points, 187 shots on net and a plus-3 rating in 70 contests.

Bratt scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Bratt spoiled Pavel Francouz's shutout bid at 11:39 of the third period. With two goals and two assists in his last four outings, Bratt has been steady since he snapped a four-game point streak. The 23-year-old winger continues to be a bright spot for the Devils this season. He's at 24 tallies, 69 points, 186 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 69 contests.
