Brown has failed to materialize as a contributor to the Oilers' offence this season and will likely serve as a healthy scratch on Thursday against the New Jersey Devils. While averaging 14:26 time-on-ice, Brown has scored only one point (0G / 1A) through 23 games, including occasional deployment in the Oilers' top six.
In Brown's four games before his injury, he was averaging 2.25 shots per game, a vast improvement over the 0.80 he was averaging in the five games prior, and perhaps a sign that he is re-finding his game. Brown, who has yet to record a point through nine games this season, skated at practice alongside Connor McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins at practice on Friday.
Brown has missed the Oilers' last two games due to a soft-tissue injury and is still considered day-to-day even though he skated Thursday. The 29-year-old signed a one-year, $4 million contract in the offseason but has been a massive disappointment as he is yet to collect a point through nine games but has 13 SOG, and a -5 plus/minus.
Brown failed to pick up a point and was a -3 plus/minus through only four games with Washington in 2022-23 and has signed a one-year deal worth $775,000 with Edmonton. The 29-year-old's only season in Washington did not go as planned as he was forced to miss majority of the season due to ACL surgery. He will hope to comeback from the injury and add to his 90 goals, and 216 points across 448 career NHL games played.
Brown underwent a surgical procedure on his right knee to reconstruct his torn ACL after he was injured in a game against Vancouver on October 17th. It is a tough loss for Brown and the Capitals after he was acquired in the offseason. In his four games prior to the injury, the 28-year-old had no points and was a -3 plus/minus rating.
Brown misses his first game of the 2022-23 season after it was announced he was placed on the IR with a lower-body injury Wednesday. The 28-year-old has struggled in his first four games as a Capital, collecting just two shots to go along with his zero points and -3 rating to start the season.
Brown suffered an undisclosed injury in Columbus on Friday and will miss the final three games of the regular season. Brown finishes the season with 10 goals and 29 assists (39 points) in 64 games.
Brown will be a game-time decision for the second straight game. He's battling an undisclosed ailment but was able to play through it in St. Louis on Tuesday. If he can't go on Thursday, Tyler Ennis will draw into the lineup.
Brown was not on the ice for the Senators' morning skate and will be a game-time decision in St. Louis. Head coach DJ Smith said that Brown has been banged up for a while, so sounds like he's nursing some bumps and bruises rather than something that will keep him out for an extended period of time.
Brown missed 10 games after breaking his jaw in warmups in Calgary on January 13th. Brown played the game with a broken jaw, scoring one goal with one assist in 19:28 TOI. He has tallied five goals with 14 assists (19 points) in 26 games this season. He skated on the second line with Nick Paul and Alex Formenton in Sunday's practice.
Brown is expected to be sidelined until early-to-mid February after breaking his jaw in warmups last Thursday. Tyler Ennis has been bumped up into the top-6 to replace Brown.
