Bratt’s Overtime Heroics Lift Devils Over Canadiens
What a night it was in New Jersey! The crowd was buzzing, and the game between the Montreal Canadiens and the New Jersey Devils turned out to be one of those dramatic, edge-of-your-seat finishes that hockey fans live for. It all came down to overtime — and Jesper Bratt was the man of the moment.
With the game tied 3–3 and tension running high, Bratt made a move that instantly made the highlight reel. He stole the puck right in the neutral zone, turned on the jets, and raced down the ice all alone on a breakaway. You could almost feel everyone in the arena holding their breath. Then, with a smooth backhand move that slid right through the goalie’s five-hole, Bratt sealed the 4–3 win for the Devils. The crowd erupted — it was one of those pure hockey moments that can change the energy of a season.

For Montreal, it was another tough overtime loss — their third in a row after blowing a third-period lead once again. TSN analyst Carlo Colaiacovo pointed out afterward that while it stings to lose this way, there’s still a silver lining: the Canadiens are consistently earning points. “The positive is, Montreal continues to bank points,” he said. And that’s true — even in defeat, those single points can make a difference down the stretch.
The Canadiens had started strong and even led late in the game, but Timo Meier’s late tying goal for New Jersey shifted the momentum completely. Meier’s effort set the stage perfectly for Bratt’s overtime heroics. It’s clear that Montreal is struggling to close out games — a pattern that’s becoming a real concern — but no one can deny the fight they bring every night.
On the Devils’ side, there was plenty to celebrate. Between Bratt’s game-winner and the solid overall team play, New Jersey’s ability to capitalize when it mattered most showed the kind of composure and confidence fans have been waiting to see.
In the end, it was a reminder of how unpredictable and thrilling the NHL can be. One second you’re defending a lead, and the next, the puck’s in your net — and the other team is celebrating. For the Devils, it was a statement win. For the Canadiens, another lesson learned the hard way.
And if there’s one thing this game proved, it’s that no lead is safe and no shift can be wasted — especially when players like Jesper Bratt are waiting to pounce.
