The New Jersey Devils signed forward Jesper Bratt to a two-year deal with an average annual value of $2.75 million, the team announced Sunday.

Bratt, 22, becomes a restricted free agent when the deal expires.

The 5-foot-10 winger tallied a career-high 16 goals - including a team-leading 15 at even strength - and 16 assists through 60 games in 2019-20.

New Jersey selected Bratt in the sixth round of the 2016 NHL Draft, but he ranks eighth in scoring among all skaters picked that year. He's amassed 37 goals and 100 points over 185 career outings.

The Devils have no outstanding restricted free agents and own $9.61 million in projected cap space, according to CapFriendly.
