Jesper Bratt Plays Hero in Overtime as Devils Extend Home Winning Streak to Six Games

The New Jersey Devils extended their home winning streak at Prudential Center to six games with a 5-4 overtime victory against the St. Louis Blues. Jesper Bratt scored the decisive game-winning goal on a breakaway just over a minute into overtime after being sprung by Dougie Hamilton. Anthony Mantha led the offense with three points, scoring twice and setting up Jesper Boqvist.

Luke Hughes opened the scoring for New Jersey, while Connor Hellebuyck stopped 28 of 32 shots in net. Despite New Jersey establishing a commanding lead, St. Louis rallied in the third period with goals from Robert Thomas, Mason McTavish, Philip Broberg, and Dalibor Dvorsky to force overtime before Bratt's winner improved the Devils' record to 11-5-0.
