2025-26 season: 82 GP, 22 G, 49 A, 71 PTS, -11 +/-, 18:46 TOI. WAR 3.0 (33rd of 615) · PAL 79, very good.

Jesper Bratt's story
Raised in the Stockholm area, Bratt moved from Trångsund IF into AIK's youth system and made his professional debut with AIK in 2014-15 when the club played in HockeyAllsvenskan. His full season that followed in Sweden set the stage for North American interest and eventual selection in the NHL draft.
Following a 48-game campaign in Allsvenskan with 17 points, the New Jersey Devils chose him at 162nd overall in the 2016 draft. He signed a three-year entry-level deal on 13 May 2017. Although London's OHL club held his CHL rights, Bratt impressed at New Jersey's training camp and earned a spot on the Devils' opening night roster for 2017–18 instead of reporting to junior hockey.
His NHL arrival was immediate: two points in his first game—a power-play goal and a shorthanded assist—in a 4–1 win over the Colorado Avalanche. That debut made him one of the lowest-drafted teenagers to play in the NHL since the 1994–95 season. He finished his rookie year with 13 goals and 22 assists (35 points in 74 games), having logged significant minutes alongside Taylor Hall and Nico Hischier. A fractured jaw in October 2018 cost him the first 13 games of 2018–19, but he still posted 8 goals and 25 assists over 51 games that season.
Contract milestones and highlights followed: a two-year, $5.5 million deal on 10 January 2021; his first NHL hat trick on 19 March 2023 against the Tampa Bay Lightning; and an eight-year, $63 million contract signed on 15 June 2023. He was named to the 2024 NHL All-Star Game in January after a teammate withdrew due to injury.
Internationally, Bratt has represented Sweden at the 2019 World Championship and was selected for the NHL 4 Nations Face-Off scheduled 12–20 February 2025. As a winger, he is known for his offensive instincts from the flank and for adapting quickly to top-line duties, traits that earned him regular roles in New Jersey early in his NHL career.
