Brown scored a power-play goal and logged 22:17 of ice time Sunday in a 4-3 win over New York.

EDGE Analysis

Brown was extra eager to fill the scoresheet Sunday. Returning to LA's lineup, the 33-year-old, on top of scoring a goal, tallied three shots on goal, dished out a team-high seven hits and even blocked a shot. Fully recovered from his finger injury, Brown appears motivated to prove his 61-point performance from a season ago was no fluke.

Brown (finger) has been activated from the Kings' injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.

EDGE Analysis

Brown was cleared to play already but had to serve the rest of his time on long-term injured reserve. The Kings are hoping Brown can change their fate, as they've gotten off to a brutal 2-7-1 start. The 33-year-old winger had 28 goals and 61 points -- 15 on the power play -- in 81 games last season and will immediately return to the top six.

Brown (finger) has been cleared to return for Thursday's road game against the Wild, Jon Rosen of Fox Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown told Rosen that he was actually fit to play in Tuesday's road game against the Stars, but the winger was ineligible for that contest due to his initial placement on long-term injured reserve. The Kings and fantasy owners alike should be eager to see Brown in action, as he managed a career-high 61 points (28 goals, 33 assists) over 81 games in the 2017-18 campaign -- to put his surge into perspective, consider that he experienced a 25-point increase compared to the prior season's output.

Despite the fact that Brown (finger) is not eligible to play, he will travel with the team for its two-game road trip, Lisa Dillman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown becomes eligible to be activated off injured reserve Sunday versus the Rangers -- and early indications are that he will in fact suit up for that game. Due to his finger issue, the winger will miss the 80-game threshold for the first time since 2013-14 and will play in his fewest games since the lockout shortened 2012-13 campaign. One healthy, Brown figures to slot into a top -six role, possibly on the second line with Ilya Kovalchuk and Jeff Carter.

Brown (finger) was on the ice with the Kings Thursday, Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown is still a couple weeks away from returning because a finger injury can affect his grip on his stick, but the fact that he's skating again is great news for his owners. He's projected to return on Oct. 23, which would get him back on the ice in time for a contest at Dallas.

According to coach John Stevens, Brown (finger) is expected to be sidelined for weeks, rather than months, Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Considering Brown was originally ruled out indefinitely, the fact that his absence is not expected to drag on for months is certainly a good thing. Still, the coach didn't provide a specific timeline for when the winger might be able to return, so fantasy owners will need to take a wait a see approach.

Brown (finger) is out indefinitely, Jon Rosen of Fox Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although the Kings have yet to release a specific timetable for Brown's return to the lineup, coach John Stevens did tell reporters he'd be out for "weeks, and not months." While that's slightly encouraging news, it also suggests LA isn't expecting Brown to be back in action anytime soon. The 33-year-old winger will remain on injured reserve for the duration of his absence, which should give fantasy owners the option to stash him until he's deemed fit to play.

Brown (finger) was placed on non-roster injured reserve Tuesday, Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old winger has missed a total of three games over the last four seasons, and he'll miss the first two games this year due to a broken finger. There's still no timetable in place for Brown's return, but in the meantime Tyler Toffoli will see an uptick in ice time on the second line.
