Bratt helped out on a Pavel Zacha goal in the opening minute of the game. The 23-year-old Bratt finished January with five goals and six assists in 10 appearances. The winger has reached the 40-point mark for the first time in his five-year career, and he's added 111 shots on net and a minus-1 rating in 41 contests.

Bratt registered two assists in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Lightning. His first helper took place on the power play.
EDGE Analysis
Bratt is loving life on the second line with Yegor Sharangovich and Jack Hughes. The former is rocking an active seven-game point streak comprised of five goals and five more assists, and now he's back to a point-per-game pace on the season. It's clear the Devils found a diamond in the rough when they took Bratt in the sixth round (No. 162 overall) of the 2016 draft.
