Devils Overpower Rangers, Securing Five-Game Winning Streak with Bratt's Outstanding Play

Monday, December 2nd, 2024

Jesper Bratt played a vital role by scoring once and assisting three times, and Jack Hughes found the net twice, leading the New Jersey Devils to a 5-1 win over the New York Rangers on Monday. Jacob Markstrom was impressive with 39 saves for the Devils.

Dawson Mercer and Dougie Hamilton also scored for New Jersey. The team's victory pushed their winning streak to five games, putting them nine points ahead of the Rangers. Despite having the top NHL record last season, the Rangers have lost six of their past seven games.

Chris Kreider managed to end Markstrom's hopes for a shutout in the second period, but Igor Shesterkin conceded four goals while making 22 saves for the Rangers.

Bratt, who provided assists for three Devils goals, is leading the team this season with 35 points.

Looking ahead, the Devils are set to host Seattle on Friday, while the Rangers will face Pittsburgh at home.

Rangers have fallen to a 6-5-1 record at Madison Square Garden this season, while the Devils have improved to 17-9-2 after missing the playoffs last year.

An important moment in the game was Markstrom’s significant saves against Adam Fox, Vincent Trocheck, and Mika Zibanejad during an early second-period power play, preventing the Rangers from scoring.
