• Oilers' Connor Brown: Plucks apple Saturday

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Brown recorded an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs. Brown has collected four points over his last five contests. The 30-year-old winger and linemate Adam Henrique have been more involved offensively lately. Still, Brown has three goals, two assists, 33 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 18 appearances. He's strong enough defensively to stick in the lineup, but fantasy managers will want to see either more offense or a larger role before considering him for their rosters.

• Oilers' Connor Brown: Scores two goals in win

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Brown scored twice on five shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks. Brown has three points over his last two games in a rare burst of offense for the 30-year-old winger. Both of his goals Saturday came in the third period, and the first one stood as the game-winner. Brown is up to three tallies, one assist, 32 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 15 appearances this season. He'll likely continue to play in a third-line role with no power-play time, so don't expect him to repeat this performance.

• Oilers' Connor Brown: Hands out helper

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Brown logged an assist in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights. This was Brown's first assist and second point of the campaign. The 30-year-old helped out on a Brett Kulak tally in the second period. In addition to his lack of offense, Brown has 27 shots on net over 14 games, but he's added just two hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-3 rating while playing in a bottom-six role. He's more of a defensive forward for the Oilers, and it's unlikely he'll score enough to be considered in the vast majority of fantasy formats.

• Oilers' Connor Brown: Deposits goal in overtime win

  10/16/2024 • By RotoWire

  Brown scored a goal and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers. Brown tied the game at 2-2 with a second-period tally. The winger has added seven shots on net over four contests this season while playing in a third-line role. Brown put up 12 points in 71 regular-season outings in 2023-24, though he had produced at least 28 points in six straight years from 2016-17 to 2021-22 before an ACL injury ended his 2022-23 campaign early. He may not reach those heights again, but Brown can be a decent middle-six forward who sticks in the lineup thanks to his defensive contributions.

• 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.
