Brown logged two assists, four shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Brown had been limited to just one helpers over his prior six outings. He had a hand in goals by Vasily Podkolzin and Darnell Nurse in the first period, with the latter's tally being of the shorthanded variety. Brown is up to seven points, 41 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 22 appearances. He's mainly been in the bottom six, but he played on the second line Saturday and could stick there for a while after finding some success.

Brown recorded an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Brown has collected four points over his last five contests. The 30-year-old winger is starting to get involved in the offense more, as is linemate Adam Henrique. Brown has three goals, two assists, 33 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 18 appearances. He's strong enough defensively to stick in the lineup, but fantasy managers will want to see either more offense or a larger role before considering him for their rosters.

Brown scored twice on five shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Brown has three points over his last two games in a rare burst of offense for the 30-year-old winger. Both of his goals Saturday came in the third period, and the first one stood as the game-winner. Brown is up to three tallies, one assist, 32 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 15 appearances this season. He'll likely continue to play in a third-line role with no power-play time, so don't expect him to repeat this performance.

Brown logged an assist in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
This was Brown's first assist and second point of the campaign. The 30-year-old helped out on a Brett Kulak tally in the second period. In addition to his lack of offense, Brown has 27 shots on net over 14 games, but he's added just two hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-3 rating while playing in a bottom-six role. He's more of a defensive forward for the Oilers, and it's unlikely he'll score enough to be considered in the vast majority of fantasy formats.

Brown scored a goal and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Brown tied the game at 2-2 with a second-period tally. The winger has added seven shots on net over four contests this season while playing in a third-line role. Brown put up 12 points in 71 regular-season outings in 2023-24, though he had produced at least 28 points in six straight years from 2016-17 to 2021-22 before an ACL injury ended his 2022-23 campaign early. He may not reach those heights again, but Brown can be a decent middle-six forward who sticks in the lineup thanks to his defensive contributions.

Brown inked a one-year, $1 million contract with Edmonton on Monday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown will take a significant pay cut from the one-year, $4 million deal he played on last season in order to remain with the Oilers. For the Stanley Cup contenders, the 30-year-old winger certainly offers plenty of value as a bottom-six penalty killer, but he won't provide much in terms of fantasy production considering he managed just 12 points in 71 regular-season contests last year.

Brown scored a shorthanded goal in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Panthers in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
Brown scored for the first time since May 25, tallying the opening goal Tuesday at 5:30 of the first period. The winger hasn't made a huge impact this postseason, but he has six points, 13 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 17 contests in a bottom-six role. As evidenced by his goal Tuesday, he's a plus on the penalty kill for the Oilers, which has likely contributed to him keeping his spot in the lineup since early in the second round.

Brown logged a shorthanded assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Brown set up Mattias Janmark's tally in the second period, which stood as the game-winner. Over the last three games, Brown has a goal and two assists, stepping up as a solid depth scorer for the Oilers. He's at four points, six shots on net, five hits, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 10 playoff appearances in a bottom-six role.

Brown recorded an assist in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Brown has a goal and an assist over the last two games, his first time getting on the scoresheet in consecutive contests in all of 2023-24. The veteran winger is up to three points, six shots on net, five hits, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through nine playoff outings. Brown's recently solid play has helped him maintain a spot in the lineup over Corey Perry.

Brown scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Stars in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Brown tallied just 44 seconds after Jamie Benn's opening tally in the first period, tying the game at 1-1. The Oilers' offense couldn't solve Jake Oettinger again. Brown's goal was his first tally and second point in eight playoff appearances. He's added five shots on net, five hits, four PIM and a plus-2 rating while filling a bottom-six role with minimal ice time.
