Brown scored the game-winning goal in the extra period of Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Brown notched the game-winner on a one-timer following the feed from Connor McDavid. The 31-year-old winger is up to seven goals, 21 assists and 77 shots on net across 53 games this season. Following a 10-game drought without a point, Brown has tallied two points in his last four contests. He is well clear of his 14-point debut season with Edmonton a year ago but has work to do if he wants to get back to 30-40 point form.

Brown notched an assist and two PIM in Monday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Coincidentally, Brown's last point was also a helper versus the Kraken on Jan. 4. The 31-year-old didn't get on the scoresheet over 10 contests between meetings with the Oilers' division rival. Brown is now at 20 points through 50 outings, but just two of those points have come in January. He's added 73 shots on net, 25 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating while mainly playing in a middle-six role this season.

Brown notched an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Brown has six helpers over his last six outings. He's been listed on the top line for a few games now, but his 19:24 of ice time Saturday made it look like more than just an on-paper designation. That makes Brown an interesting option in fantasy. He's at 19 points, 55 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 39 appearances while seeing nothing more than traces of power-play time. If he continues to see top-line usage, he needs to be rostered in many fantasy formats, as any proximity to Connor McDavid is a good thing for most players.

Brown notched two assists and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Brown has taken the season of giving literally -- he has five helpers over his last four games. Going back to Dec. 12, he's racked up three goals and seven assists over nine contests. At least to begin Tuesday's game, he was on the top line at even strength. Brown had been in a third-line role for much of the campaign, but even a part-time gig alongside Connor McDavid makes a player worth a look in fantasy. Brown is up to 18 points, 53 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 37 appearances. His usage will be worth monitoring in the coming days and weeks.

Brown notched an assist in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Brown has a helper in three straight contests, and he's earned three goals and five assists over his last eight games. The 30-year-old winger is making the most of his third-line role while serving as a key defensive forward for the Oilers. He's up to 16 points, 53 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 36 outings this season, giving him a decent chance of getting back to the 30-point mark for the first time since the 2021-22 campaign with the Senators.

Brown notched an assist and blocked two shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Brown has three goals and three assists over his last six outings. The 30-year-old winger shouldn't be expected to add consistent offense from the third line, but he can chip in as a depth scorer while staying in the lineup for his steady defensive play. He's now at 14 points, 52 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 34 appearances, two points better than his performance over 71 regular-season contests in 2023-24.

Brown scored a goal in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Brown gave the Oilers their first lead of the game with a second-period tally. The 30-year-old winger has scored in three straight games, adding two assists, four shots on net and a plus-5 rating in that span. It's tough to trust any depth forward for the Oilers, but Brown is worth a look as a streaming play for the rest of the week as Edmonton hosts Boston, San Jose and Ottawa prior to the holiday break. He has surpassed last year's point total (12 in 71 games) with six goals, seven assists, 52 shots on net and a plus-5 rating in just 31 appearances this season.

Brown recorded a goal and an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Brown has posted back-to-back multi-point performances, but as productive as he has been in that two-game stretch, the 30-year-old winger can't be relied upon for sustained production in most fantasy formats. Brown has 12 points (five goals, seven helpers) in 30 games, but his lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis, as well as his role in the fourth line, limits his fantasy upside considerably.

Brown registered a shorthanded goal and an even-strength assist in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Brown found the back of the net when the Wild were on the power play less than two minutes into the second period, and his goal gave Edmonton a 3-1 lead. He also set up the final goal in the late stages of the third period, courtesy of a Derek Ryan tip-in. This was Brown's third multi-point effort of the season. However, he hasn't been a consistent source of scoring for the Oilers, and when factoring in his fourth-line role, he shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy upside going forward, even if he turned a few heads with his play in this contest.

Brown notched an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Brown failed to score over the last nine games of November, but he had four assists and 10 shots on net in that span. The 30-year-old defensive winger is up to eight points, 42 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 24 outings this season. He's been playing on the second line at even strength, and while his offense has improved in that role, he'll likely slip down the lineup once Viktor Arvidsson (undisclosed) or Zach Hyman (undisclosed) can return.
