After his second full season with the Broncos and having participated in the CHL Top Prospects Game, Scarlett was drafted in the sixth round, 159th overall, by the New Jersey Devils in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.

Aprroaching his final junior season with Swift Current in 2012–13, Scarlett was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the New Jersey Devils on September 7, 2012. [1] He matched his previous season totals with the Broncos in collecting 9 goals and 40 assists for 49 points in 67 games.

[2] He was assigned to continue his tenure with the Albany Devils to begin the 2016–17 season. Having played over 200 games with Albany, placing fourth in all-time assists, Scarlett faced limited prospects of a recall to the NHL with New Jersey. At the trade deadline on March 1, 2017, Scarlett was traded by the Devils to the Florida Panthers in exchange for Shane Harper.

[7]

Having played seven seasons in the AHL and unable to break through to the NHL, Scarlett left North America as a free agent to join Latvian club, Dinamo Riga of the Kontinental Hockey League, on a one-year contract on August 23, 2020. [8]
