New Jersey star Jesper Bratt scored 1-0 away against Montreal after 13.43 – the goal was the Swede's 17th for the season in NHL.
A little more than halfway into the second period, Bratt scored his next point when the 26-year-old played forward to teammate Paul Cotter for 2-0. It was Bratt's 47th assist for the season and he is high up in NHL's assist league.
In the end, it was a 4-0 win for New Jersey against Montreal at Bell Center, where the Swedish national ice hockey team will face Canada on Thursday night (at 02.00 Swedish time) in the Four Nations.
Tre Kronor's team captain Victor Hedman and his Tampa Bay will visit Montreal on Sunday. The Florida team comes with a 6-3 win away against Detroit in their luggage. Hedman had nearly 24 minutes of ice time, but did not score any points.
Detroit's Four Nations Swede Lucas Raymond got an assist point in the home team's 2-4 reduction.
