• Oilers' Connor Brown: Tallies in loss

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Brown scored a goal in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Panthers. Brown gave the Oilers their first lead of the game with a second-period tally. The 30-year-old winger has scored in three straight games, adding two assists, four shots on net and a plus-5 rating in that span. It's tough to trust any depth forward for the Oilers, but Brown is worth a look as a streaming play for the rest of the week as Edmonton hosts Boston, San Jose and Ottawa prior to the holiday break. He has surpassed last year's point total (12 in 71 games) with six goals, seven assists, 52 shots on net and a plus-5 rating in just 31 appearances this season.

• Oilers' Connor Brown: Scores, assists Saturday

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Brown recorded a goal and an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Golden Knights. Brown has posted back-to-back multi-point performances, but as productive as he has been in that two-game stretch, the 30-year-old winger can't be relied upon for sustained production in most fantasy formats. Brown has 12 points (five goals, seven helpers) in 30 games, but his lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis in a fourth-line role limits his fantasy upside considerably.

• Oilers' Connor Brown: Records multi-point effort Thursday

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Brown registered a shorthanded goal and an even-strength assist in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Wild. Brown found the back of the net when the Wild were on the power play less than two minutes into the second period, and his goal gave Edmonton a 3-1 lead. He also set up the final goal in the late stages of the third period, courtesy of a Derek Ryan tip-in. This was Brown's third multi-point effort of the season. However, he hasn't been a consistent source of scoring for the Oilers, and when factoring in his fourth-line role, he shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy upside going forward, even if he turned a few heads with his play in this contest.

• Oilers' Connor Brown: Generates assist in win

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Brown notched an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche. Brown failed to score a goal over the last nine games of November, but he had four assists and 10 shots on net in that span. The 30-year-old defensive winger is up to eight points, 42 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 24 outings this season. He's been playing on the second line at even strength, and while his offense has improved in that role, he'll likely slip down the lineup once Viktor Arvidsson (undisclosed) or Zach Hyman (undisclosed) return.

• Oilers' Connor Brown: Sends two helpers in win

  26D ago • By RotoWire

  Brown logged two assists, four shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Rangers. Brown was limited to just one helper over his previous six outings. He had a hand in goals by Vasily Podkolzin and Darnell Nurse in the first period, with the latter's tally being of the shorthanded variety. Brown is up to seven points, 41 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 22 appearances. He's mainly been in the bottom six, but he played on the second line Saturday and could stick there for a while after finding some success.
