Brown (upper body) is skating with the team, but is unable to fully participate and remains without a set timetable to return, Erik Erlendsson of The Tampa Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown will likely need the series to drag out to six or seven games in order to stand a chancec of competing against the Islanders. Prior to being injured, the winger was stuck in a rut as he had failed to tally a point in 11 consecutive outings. While the Lightning could certainly use the gritty 25-year-old, fantasy owners are unlikely to be affected by his continued absence. Look for Brown to log a complete practice session prior to returning to game action.
