Brown has a "minor procedure" on his wrist after the season concluded that will not impact his off-season training program or readiness for training camp, LA Kings Insider reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown netted just 11 goals and 28 points in 82 games in the second year of an eight-year deal that carries a $5.875 million cap hit.

Brown scored a goal for the third consecutive game and added an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The goal was particularly crucial, as it came only 19 seconds after New York's J.T. Miller opened the scoring around the middle of the first period. The Rangers ended up building a 3-1 lead thereafter, but Brown was involved in erasing that as well, assisting on Kyle Clifford's goal that drew the score within one. Prior to this three-game stretch, however, Brown had gone 11 consecutive games without a point. That's been pretty typical for him this season -- short streaks of productivity punctuating extended stretches of futility.

Brown tallied a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Brown has now recorded goals in back-to-back games, which is a welcome sight after going an extended period between goals prior to Monday's game. Before Monday, Brown had gone 15 games without lighting the lamp, and only managed two points total in that span. He still made his presence known during the drought, though, since he racked up a whopping 68 hits in those 15 games.

Brown joined the scoring party late in Tuesday's 9-2 win over Boston, scoring the game's final goal to accompany a third-period assist.
EDGE Analysis
Once upon a time, Brown was one of fantasy hockey's leading sources of points and hits, with a sprinkling of PIM to boot, but those days are long gone now. However, he's turned it on offensively over the last six games, racking up four goals and three assists in that span despite seeing his minutes fluctuate wildly. Considering it took him 52 games to clear 20 points for the year, there's no reason to rush out and add him, but Brown bears monitoring while he's holds a role alongside Anze Kopitar and Milan Lucic on the Kings' top line.

Brown scored his fourth goal of the season, had two assists and dished out five hits in Tuesday's win over Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
An all-around great effort from Brown, who was named second star of the game. While the 31-year-old captain is now a third-liner, Brown has still managed to score twice in his past three games and is up to 14 points in 36 games. While the offense might where not be where it's been at in the past, Brown has dished out 94 hits and fired 106 shots on goal this season, so he's still a decent fantasy contributor in deeper formats, especially considering the Kings have won three straight games and hold an 11-point lead in the Pacific Division.

Brown remains without a goal and has just three assists on the season after being held without a point in Tuesday's win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings have struggled to get scoring from their top line this season and Brown has been no exception. He'll need to snap out of things soon or risk a demotion from the top unit.

Brown was moved up to the top line for Saturday's practice, LA Kings Insider reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown's been arguably the team's most effective forward through the first two games as the Kings have stumbled out of the gate. Look for him to get a chance to skate on the top line when the Kings take the ice Tuesday.

Brown, who had a career-low 11 goals last season, appears set to open the season on the team's third line.
EDGE Analysis
Brown has seen his power play production take a nose dive in the last two seasons (two goals, eight assists) as the Kings have added some skill to their forward group which has further eroded into his fantasy value. He hasn't topped 30 points in either of the last two seasons and isn't a good bet to do so in the upcoming season either.
