Brown racked up four assists in AHL Belleville's 5-3 win over Manitoba on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown has now posted 11 points in eight games since being returned to the minors in late December. It's surprising Ottawa hasn't given Brown a regular spot in their lineup given how well he has played for Belleville combined with the fact the Sens aren't competing for a playoff spot. Brown should be recalled at some point later in the season.

The Senators reassigned Brown to AHL Belleville on Saturday, Brent Wallace of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown suited up in the last 11 games for the Senators, recording two assists and 11 shots on net while averaging 10:16 of ice time per contest. The 21-year-old will have more opportunities in the minors, as he should slot into the top six with power-play responsibilities.

Brown is a healthy scratch for Saturday's game against the Flames, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach D.J. Smith said he's holding Brown out since the team is playing back-to-back games, so it sounds like he's attempting to help the 21-year-old adjust to the NHL game. Brown has six points -- three on the power play -- through 12 games, and Jean-Christophe Beaudin will enter the lineup to add depth up the middle.

Brown scored the game-winning goal on the power-play while adding two shots and two PIM in Friday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Brown snuck in from the left point and wired a shot off the post and in, registering his first goal in 15 NHL games. The 2016 first-round pick has had an injury-riddled 2019-20 season, but more plays like the one he delivered Friday could help the 6-foot-6, 21-year-old secure a regular bottom-six role.

Brown (upper body) was removed from injured reserve ahead of Friday's matchup with the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Brown should be in the mix for a spot in the lineup versus Philadelphia now that he's been taken off IR. Prior to getting hurt, the center had registered two assists and four shots in his last four games. If Brown gets into the lineup, Mikkel Boedker or Filip Chlapik will likely be relegated to the press box.

Brown (upper body) won't play Wednesday against the Devils, NHL.com's Mike Morreale reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown was a full participant at Tuesday's practice, so he's definitely closing in on a return to the lineup, but he'll have to wait for Friday's matchup with Philadelphia for his next opportunity to do so. The 6-foot-6 American will likely slot into a bottom-six role and a spot on one of Ottawa's power-play units once he's given the green light.

Brown (upper body) practiced in a non-contact jersey Sunday, Bruce Garrioch of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown still needs to be cleared for contact, but he's nearing a return to action. Monday's tilt against the Hurricanes seems a bit ambitious, but a return Wednesday in New Jersey can't be ruled out.

Coach D.J. Smith is hopeful that Brown (upper body) will be ready to return to practice at some point within "the next week or so," Ian Mendes of TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown will almost certainly miss Ottawa's next three games, but could be ready to rejoin the lineup shortly thereafter. Once he's deemed fit to play, the 25-year-old winger, who's racked up 12 points in 14 games this campaign, will return to a top-six role and a spot on one of Ottawa's power-play units.

Brown (upper body) was placed on injured reserve retroactive to Nov. 2, per the NHL's official media site.

EDGE Analysis

Brown isn't eligible to return until Nov. 9 against the Islanders, but there's a good chance he misses a few more games after that. The Senators will have Artem Anisimov (lower body) back in the lineup going forward, but their depth up the middle is troubling with Colin White (hip) also on the mend.

Coach Pierre Dorion said Sunday that Brown is week-to-week with an upper body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Brown left Saturday's game against Boston after he took a slash to the arm/wrist area and didn't return. The fact that he'll be monitored on a week-to-week basis suggests Brown could be facing a multi-game absence. For now, consider the youngster questionable for Monday's game against the Rangers.
