Brown missed the prior 14 games with a knee injury and found himself back in a bottom-six role upon his return, not surprising for a player who's already set new career highs with two goals and five points through 21 games on the season.

The 29-year-old Brown has already appeared in a career-high 20 contests this year, tallying one goal and three assists.
