Bratt celebrated with a full hit in his 500th match

New Jersey's Swedish star Jesper Bratt celebrated a new magical milestone tonight in the NHL with a goal and an assist against Seattle. Fantastic to be part of and help the team win, especially in my 500th match.

Bratt celebrated his 500th match in the NHL career by equalizing to 2–2 against Seattle in the second period.

The 26-year-old from Stockholm was also involved in the first equalizing goal by Luke Hughes in the first period.

After the match, which ended 3–2 to New Jersey, the Swedish point king was asked if he, in 2016, when he was selected in the sixth round as the 162nd player overall, could imagine reaching 500 NHL matches.

500 matches were far away. I hoped, wished, and worked to play one match at that time, Bratt replied to the reporters.

I'm very grateful to be in the position I am right now, he continued.

Bratt tops the scoring league among NHL Swedes with 37 points in 29 played matches this season, including 13 goals and 24 assists.

Swedish goalkeeper Jacob Markström also contributed to New Jersey's victory, with 17 saves. The match was the team's third win in four meetings.
