Brown suffered a broken finger against Anaheim on Saturday and will be out indefinitely.

EDGE Analysis

For now, there's no set timetable for Brown's return, but it appears he'll at least miss the first few games of the regular season. The 33-year-old has missed just three regular season games over the last four years and his absence will certainly be noticed in this Kings lineup. He scored 28 goals and a career-high 61 points during the 2017-18 campaign.

Brown suffered an upper-body injury in Saturday's 3-0 preseason loss to the Ducks and didn't return, Jon Rosen of Fox Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

No immediate updates were available after the game, so the severity of his injury is unclear. It's reasonable that the Kings held him out as a precaution, and Brown has until Friday's season opener against the Sharks to heal up. Expect more information to be revealed soon.

Brown (shoulder) is expected to be healthy for training camp, Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to manager Rob Blake, Brown is on track for the upcoming season after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery. While the winger did spend some time on the top line last year, he will likely be limited to a second-line role following the signing of Ilya Kovalchuk. Still, playing alongside Jeff Carter is certainly not a bad assignment for the 33-year-old.

Brown (shoulder) underwent successful surgery on Thursday and is expected to be ready for training camp next season, Jon Rosen of Fox Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown is coming off the best season of his career, scoring a personal-best 61 points and tallying 28 goals, his first 20-goal season since the 2011-12 season. The 33-year-old forward averaged 19:50 of ice time per game and was a huge factor for Los Angeles' offense and top power-play unit. Assuming Brown stays healthy, expect similar production next season from the New York native.

Brown failed to score on any of his six shots Tuesday as his team was eliminated with a 1-0 Game 4 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Brown had a golden opportunity to keep his team's season alive in the final minute, but his sixth and final shot of the contest glanced off goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury's glove and stayed out, just like the 30 other pucks Los Angeles fired on the Vegas netminder. The 33-year-old forward has a lot to be proud of despite the early postseason exit, as Brown surpassed his old career high of 60 points by one during the regular season.

Brown recorded an assist in a 3-2 loss in Game 3 on Sunday against Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

During the regular season Brown was able to score 61 points (28 goals, 33 assists), but it's his physical play that has been on full display in the postseason -- he's recorded 19 hits during the first three games. That doesn't mean the 33-year-old has shifted his focus, as he peppered Marc-Andre Fleury with six shots in Game 2, but the Flower has largely shut down Los Angeles' offense in general, only allowing three goals in the first three games. Brown has remained on the first line and top power-play unit in the playoffs, where he'll likely remain for the rest of Los Angeles' postseason run -- although staring directly at a 3-0 deficit, the Stanley Cup push could end as soon as Game 4 on Tuesday.

Brown registered six hits Thursday in a tough Game 1 road loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Even though Brown failed to score on two shot attempts, his physical play was key in disrupting the offensive flow from a Vegas squad that is relentless on the forecheck and thus adept at initiating odd-man rushes. The 2003 first-round (13th overall) draft pick should make a positive difference in this series after he recorded a career-high 61 points (28 goals, 33 assists) through 81 games in the regular season.

Brown potted four goals -- including the game-winner in overtime -- to stun the Wild at home Thursday, 5-4.

EDGE Analysis

Brown's second goal took place on the man advantage, and he scored in every frame but the third. The New York native now has a career-high 61 points (28 goals, 33 assists) and deserves recognition for his efforts bouncing back from a 36-point output in 2016-17.

Brown's first-period short-handed goal proved to be the game-winner in Monday's 3-1 victory over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran winger is enjoying life alongside Anze Kopitar -- Brown now has four goals and 11 points in the last 10 games, and his 24 goals and 57 points on the season represent his best performance since 2010-11. He'll have two more games to get the three points necessary to hit 60 for only the second time in his career, but given his current form it's a milestone well within reach.

Brown contributed assists in the second and third period of a 3-0 win over the Flames on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown's strong season has continued as the year has wound down, and he's now just five points off his career high of 60 in a season. He's also closing in on a plus-30 rating, which would dwarf any previous season. It's been a year to remember for Brown.
