Brown, who was claimed off waivers by Montreal on Monday, practiced with the team and is expected to be in the lineup Monday night when the Habs play at San Jose, Brown's former team, the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown skated on the right wing of the fourth line, along with Michael McCarron at center and Torrey Mitchell at left wing during the team's morning skate. Brown, who had three points in 44 games for the Sharks this year, is noted for his belligerence and brings some much-needed size to Montreal's corps of forwards.
