Brown (hand) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Kevin Kurz of CSNBayArea.com reports. Brown was set to miss multiple games after hurting his hand last Saturday following a blocked shot, so the move to injured reserve doesn't come as a major surprise. Eriah Hayes was recalled from AHL Worchester to fill the void in the Sharks' bottom six.

Brown (hand) appears set to miss multiple games, CSNBayArea.com reports. The Sharks haven't provided word on the extent of the left hand injury Brown suffered Saturday night, but it looks like the team will at least give him a few extra days of rest before determining whether or not he'll require a stay on injured reserve. John Scott will take his spot in the lineup for the foreseeable future.

Brown exited Saturday's game in the second period with a left hand injury, Kevin Kurz of CSNBayArea.com reports. Brown suffered the injury while blocking a shot by the Jets' Paul Postma. He'll be evaluated before the Sharks return to practice Sunday and should be viewed as questionable for Tuesday's tilt with the Capitals.

Mike Brown has signed a two-year extension with the San Jose Sharks. Brown had five points and 94 penalty minutes in 56 games with the Edmonton Oilers and San Jose Sharks in 2013-14. As those numbers imply, he's strictly a fourth-line forward.

The San Jose Sharks and Mike Brown are negotiating a contract extension. Brown had five points and 94 penalty minutes in 56 games in 2013-14. He's a fourth line forward that has only played more than 60 contests in one of his seven campaigns.

Mike Brown had another big fantasy game for the Sharks on Sunday as he scored and had 12 penalty minutes in only 8:29 minutes of action.

Mike Brown picked up an assist in 8:57 minutes in Game 1 on Thursday. The fourth liner is playing in only his second playoff as he played 13 games for Anaheim in the 2008-09 season, picking up two assists and 25 penalty minutes. Coach Todd McLellan was pleased with Brown's play as well as his fourth unit linemates. "He and that line played to their strengths -- straight forward, straight lines with a forecheck mentality," McLellan said. "They were responsible defensively, so after 60 minutes we liked their game and his game in particular."

Mike Brown appears to be back in the lineup Thursday after missing the past three games with a stiff neck. He hasn't played since he traded punches with Washington's Aaron Volpatti in a spirited bout on Jan. 14. "Didn't want to go out there and not do anything," Brown said. "When I go out there, I've got to play the way I play and that's a hard-nosed, physical game. If something's bothering me like that, I'm not going to contribute the way I can." He has four points, 90 hits and 62 penalty minutes in 35 games this season.

Mike Brown returned to action on Sunday January 5.
