Brown dished eight hits in Saturday's 6-0 loss to the Capitals in Game 6.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old winger has 10 hits in two games since being recalled from AHL Charlotte. It's his first NHL action since 2016-17, when he managed 30 hits but no points in 14 appearances. The Hurricanes' wing depth has taken a hit with Andrei Svechnikov (concussion) and Micheal Ferland (upper body) out, so Brown will likely take fourth-line minutes during their absence.

Brown was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
With Andrei Svechnikov (concussion) expected to miss Game 4 on Thursday versus the Caps and Michael Ferland (upper body) questionable as well, the Canes bring in Brown to add some forward depth and potentially hop in on the fourth line if needed. The 26-year-old didn't earn a promotion during the regular season, despite racking up 19 goals and 16 assists in 70 minor-league contests.

The Hurricanes sent Brown to AHL Charlotte on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
He was originally brought up Monday to serve as additional depth in case of injury, but the Canes had 12 healthy forwards at puck drop for Tuesday's game versus the Senators and his services were no longer needed. Brown may be recalled this weekend for a back-to-back set starting Friday versus the Oilers.

Brown was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Brown, in 46 AHL games this season, has eight goals and 18 points. He has not featured in an NHL game since 2016-17.

Brown was waived by the Hurricanes on Saturday, CapFriendly reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown has recorded just two points through 28 NHL games to date. The Michigan native was decent for AHL Charlotte last season, adding eight goals and 22 points over 76 games -- including the playoffs -- so perhaps he'll get called up to the big stage when injuries inevitably threaten the Hurricanes at the center position.

Brown signed a one-year, two-way contract with Carolina on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Despite a couple of call-ups during the season, Brown failed to crack the Canes lineup this year. Instead, the center logged 68 games with AHL Charlotte in which he notched seven goals, 20 helpers and a plus-18 rating. Undrafted coming out of Boston College, the 26-year-old will likely split time between leagues in 2018-19, but should at least make a handful of NHL appearances.

Brown was reassigned to AHL Charlotte on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Brown was held pointless through 14 games last season, and he hasn't played at all this campaign, so he's much better off in the AHL at this juncture. Presumably, he'll get meaningful minutes at that rank to refine his game.

Brown was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Brown hasn't suited up for a NHL contest yet, but he does have 28 games on his resume from the previous three seasons, recording one goal, one assist and a minus-6 rating. The 25-year-old has been strong in the minors this campaign, accruing six goals, 14 helpers, 44 PIM and a plus-16 rating in 44 games for AHL Charlotte. Brown was called up to provide depth to the Hurricanes' forwards, and his first chance to suit up will be Thursday in New Jersey.

Brown was reassigned to AHL Charlotte on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Brown hasn't appeared in a game so far in 2017-18, and with Lee Stempniak (back) finally ready to return to the roster Brown will head down to the minors. The 25-year-old put up 28 points in 66 games last season in the AHL, but unless injuries arise Brown will likely stay in the minors the remainder of the year.

Brown was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Michigan native has made some spot-starts at the highest level over the years, but he's yet to make his 2017-18 debut. Carolina doesn't take the ice for a game until Thursday, so there's a chance that Brown gets returned to the top development affiliate before that contest. As it stands now, only Lee Stempniak (upper body) and defenseman Brett Pesce (back) are injured from the Carolina roster.
