New York. This is Jesper Pratt…
He didn’t extend his scoring streak last night. He completed a stunning New Jersey turn away to Edmonton, whipping the decisive 4-3 puck with just over three minutes remaining.
– It’s fun to see how the whole team progresses when it matters, says the Swedish goal and assist spray from Trångsund to Sportbladet.
The match was at Rogers Place last night New Jersey Devils The eleventh game of the season – and for the eleventh time in a row I contributed Jesper Pratt Even with points.
Thus, he can boast the longest scoring streak in the NHL this fall.
And rest assured – the outcome tonight punishes everyone.
Before the third inning, the Devils were down 3-1 and nothing indicated anything other than that they would be defeated by Conor McDavid & Co.
– There were two slacks on our part, Jesper agrees when we got to him after the final whistle.
– We weren’t in melee, we played slow hockey, we gave them pucks in the middle and they were allowed to use their speed. But we had a great meeting before the third meeting because we know we can change games like this when we play the way we have to play.
Yes indeed. Already at the beginning of the final period, Miles Wood made sure to cut back. Then the visitors took control and after 16.45 Ryan Greaves equalized. But they weren’t satisfied with that. Just seven seconds later – a new club record – Bratten came rushing like a shot across the castle and hitting the ball at the decisive ball 4-3.
– But through a great team effort we managed to turn it around, says the hero.
It’s really fun to see how the whole team progresses when it matters.
It was the Devils’ fifth victory in a row, and with it they move, somewhat dramatically, to first place at the capital’s table.
