Jesper Bratt Fractured Jaw by Accident in Thursday’s Practice; Drew Stafford Signed

Good morning. I have some bad news: Jesper Bratt fractured his jaw in practice yesterday. The New Jersey Devils have announced the injury and that Bratt is on injured reserve this morning. Not to be flippant, but it was off a bad break:

The #NJDevils have placed F Jesper Bratt (fractures jaw) on injured reserve.

Bratt was hit by a puck that deflected off the crossbar in practice yesterday.— New Jersey Devils (@NJDevils) October 5, 2018

That’s right, the first injury of the 2018-19 campaign was from a total accident.
