Brown is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's Game 1 against the Stars due to an undisclosed injury, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown's activity has been limited in recent days, as he didn't participate in full practices Saturday or Monday. He was present for Wednesday's morning skate but didn't ultimately skate. Head coach Kris Knoblauch labeled Brown's absence from Saturday's practice as a maintenance day. While Knoblauch said Saturday that he didn't expect Brown to miss time, the 31-year-old's status to begin the Western Conference Finals is up in the air. Brown was productive over the first two rounds of the playoffs, logging four goals, three assists, 10 hits, six blocked shots and two PIM while averaging 15:18 of ice time.

Brown scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Brown tallied an insurance goal with 1:46 left in the contest. With four goals and two assists over seven playoff outings, Brown has played his role well in a middle-six capacity. In addition to his depth scoring, he's supplied 13 shots on net, five hits, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating. Brown won't contribute on offense every game, but he's a decent option in DFS as a value pick.

Brown scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added two assists and went plus-3 in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Kings in Game 6.
EDGE Analysis
Brown set up goals by linemates Adam Henrique and Trent Frederic, then finished the scoring with a buzzer-beating empty-netter to fend off the Kings' late push. Brown produced five points 10 shots on net, five hits and a plus-2 rating over six contests in the first round. He's still filling a depth role, and with the Oilers finding success with their current line combinations, it's unlikely Brown gets moved around to start the second round against the Golden Knights.

Brown scored twice on three shots in Friday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Brown tied the game briefly at 3-3 in the second period, and he added a second empty-netter in the third to help secure the Oilers' first win of the series. The 31-year-old winger filled in on the top line late in the regular season, but he's since moved back to a bottom-six role now that the Oilers' forward group is healthier. Brown had 30 points in 82 regular-season contests, so he can be a decent source of depth scoring this postseason.

Brown scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
The Connor connection worked again Sunday, as Brown's goal was set up by Connor McDavid to open the scoring at 0:59 of the second period. This was Brown's fourth goal in three games since joining McDavid on the top line, and it's a partnership that could last into the playoffs if it keeps yielding results. For the season, Brown has reached the 30-point mark (13 goals, 17 helpers) for the fifth time in his career and the first time since 2021-22. He's added 120 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 80 appearances in 2024-25.

Brown scored an empty-net goal on six shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Brown has three goals over two games since he was elevated to the top line amid the Oilers' injury crisis. The 31-year-old has thrown it back to the Erie Otters days while playing alongside Connor McDavid, and it's helping the Oilers stay warm while they're missing big-name teammates. Brown is now at 12 goals, 29 points, 117 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 79 appearances.

Brown scored two goals on three shots and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Brown got the Oilers on the board early in the second period and then secured the win with his second goal of the game at 19:39 of the third. Injuries have greatly impacted the Oilers' forward depth, but Brown was able to check in on the top line in Connor McDavid's (lower body) return. Brown has three goals over his last four contests and is up to 11 tallies, 28 points, 111 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 78 appearances.

Brown scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Brown snapped an 11-game goal drought with the opening tally in this contest. Over that span, he was limited to two assists and 17 shots on net. The 31-year-old winger has mainly played in a middle-six role with minimal power-play usage, so a lack of offense shouldn't come as a surprise. He's up to nine goals, 26 points, 104 shots, 35 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 75 appearances this season. Brown is one of four Oilers to have played in every game so far, along with Evan Bouchard, Vasily Podkolzin and Brett Kulak.

Brown logged an assist and fired three shots on goal in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Brown set up a Jeff Skinner goal in the second period, which put the Oilers ahead 3-2. Over 11 contests in March, Brown has contributed a goal and two helpers while filling a bottom-six role. The 31-year-old winger is up to 25 points, 98 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 70 appearances. While it's a better pace than last year's 12 points in 71 regular-season games, Brown's modest offense and relatively low non-scoring production make him a poor option for most fantasy managers.

Brown scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Brown attempted a centering pass, but it was bounced back to him off a Dallas defender. The winger took advantage, burying the Oilers' fifth goal, which was ultimately the game-winner. Prior to Saturday, he had been limited to one assist over his last nine outings. Brown has put together a decent campaign in a bottom-six role with eight goals, 23 points, 85 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 63 appearances. He doesn't look to be at risk of losing much playing time when Trent Frederic (lower body) is activated from injured reserve for his Oilers debut.
