Going back over the last three NHL seasons, there have been 394 games played by teams following a shutout loss. That's about 10% of the 3,936 total games in the database, so shutout rebounds are a regular part of the season's storyline.

Jesper Bratt is such a fun player to watch, but last game you could sense the frustration. He put up eight shots on goal in the team's most recent contest but wasn’t able to find the back of the net. Bratt is averaging 2.89 shots per game and has hit this number with ease throughout the early parts of the season.

Since their loss to the Isles on Oct. 25 the Devils have played to a record of 4-1-0 and a +12 goal differential. They have allowed only 25.03 shots against per 60 and allowed only 2.41 goals against per 60 in that span.
