Brown scored twice on four shots, dished an assist and added three hits in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Brown had the secondary assist on Anze Kopitar's goal to get the Kings on the board in the second period. The 36-year-old Brown also tied the game at 2-2 with a power-play goal in the second, and his second tally came at even strength to give the Kings a 3-2 lead in the third period. The veteran winger has done well on a struggling team with six goals, 11 points, 25 shots, 24 hits and 10 PIM through 12 appearances this season.

Brown scored a power-play goal, dished an assists and added four hits in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Brown set up Austin Wagner to get the Kings on the board in the third period, and then added a tally of his own a few minutes later. The 36-year-old Brown is up to eight points (four goals, four helpers) in 10 appearances this year. The veteran winger does his best work when he gets a top-line assignment alongside Anze Kopitar -- Brown has been known to move throughout the lineup at times, and playing in the bottom six hurts his production.

Brown scored a power-play goal and added a short-handed assist in Thursday's 5-3 loss to Minnesota. He also had two PIM.
EDGE Analysis
Brown's goal came early in the second period when a Drew Doughty point shot banked in off his body while he was stationed in front. He also picked up the secondary assist on Alex Iafallo's short-handed goal midway through the third. The 36-year-old Brown has a had a nice start to the season, picking points in five of eight games with three goals and three assists.

Brown scored a power-play goal and added two hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Brown's second-period tally brought the Kings within a goal, but they couldn't find an equalizer. The tough winger has two goals, one assist, 10 shots on goal, seven hits and six PIM through five appearances this year. Head coach Todd McLellan recently shuffled his lines, which has seen Brown skate on the third line, but his top-unit power-play role remains intact.

Brown posted a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Brown's second-period cross-checking minor led to the Avalanche's second goal of the game. He partially accounted for that by setting up Adrian Kempe on the power play late in the third period, but the Kings ultimately fell short. Brown has produced two points, six shots and four PIM in three games. Brown still has a top-line role alongside Anze Kopitar to begin 2020-21, which could lead to an increased chance for offense.

Brown scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
A wraparound attempt bounced off the skate of a Wild defender and into the net to give Brown his milestone 300th career goal. The 36-year-old winger was moderately productive with 35 points and 143 hits in 66 games last year. Brown may not be a threat for 200 hits or 60 points anymore, but he'll begin the new season in a familiar top-line role alongside Anze Kopitar -- that could make Brown useful in deeper formats.

Brown's numbers (17 goals, 18 assists) have been down a bit from his past two seasons, mirroring his team's performance in 2019-20.
EDGE Analysis
Given that Brown is 35 and the Kings don't have much talent on the ice, a 35-point season is understandable. He's a solid play in deeper leagues, as he still has the ability to produce. He gets cheaper in real dollars over the final two seasons of his contract as his salary drops to $4 million (retaining the same cap hit), so the Kings will likely keep him around moving forward.

Brown recorded a hat trick and an assist Saturday in a 7-3 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
It was his sixth career hattie. Brown has 35 points, including 17 goals, in 64 games this season. At 35, there's a lot of mileage on his body, but he still finds a way to contribute.

Brown registered a power-play assist, four shots on goal and three hits in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Brown set up the second of Anze Kopitar's two tallies in the first period. The winger has four goals and three helpers in his last nine contests. Brown is up to 31 points, 153 shots and 131 hits through 62 appearances. He's just recently been put back on the top power-play unit -- that could lead the 35-year-old winger to see an uptick in production over the final month of the season.
