• Oilers' Connor Brown: Pens one-year deal

  07/01/2024 • By RotoWire

  Brown inked a one-year, $1 million contract with Edmonton on Monday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports. Brown will take a significant pay cut from the one-year, $4 million deal he played on last season in order to remain with the Oilers. For the Stanley Cup contenders, the 30-year-old winger certainly offers plenty of value as a bottom-six penalty killer, but he won't provide much in terms of fantasy production considering he managed just 12 points in 71 regular-season contests last year.

• Oilers' Connor Brown: Opens scoring with shortie

  06/19/2024 • By RotoWire

  Brown netted a shorthanded goal in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Panthers in Game 5. Brown scored for the first time since May 25, tallying the opening goal Tuesday at 5:30 of the first period. The winger also made an impact under similar circumstances in Game 4 -- with the Oilers shorthanded in the first period, Brown drove to the net, setting up Mattias Janmark and establishing a 1-0 lead Saturday. The 30-year-old Brown has six points, 13 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 17 playoff contests in a bottom-six role. As evidenced by the last two outings, he's a plus on the penalty kill for the Oilers, which has likely contributed to him keeping his spot in the lineup since early in the second round.
