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.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Plucks apple Saturday
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
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
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
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
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
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.

Brown scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Stars in Game 2.
Brown tallied just 44 seconds after Jamie Benn's opening tally in the first period, tying the game at 1-1. The Oilers' offense couldn't solve Jake Oettinger again.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Puts up helper
Rotowire
Brown logged an assist in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks in Game 5.
The helper was Brown's first point in four playoff contests, and he's added two hits and a plus-1 rating. The 30-year-old has been limited to fourth-line minutes, which has given him few chances to contribute. Brown could be at risk of losing his spot in the lineup once Adam Henrique (ankle) is able to return.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Produces assist in loss
Rotowire
Brown logged an assist in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks.
Brown has three points over his last seven contests despite still seeing fourth-line minutes. The winger is at 12 points, 105 shots on net, 30 hits and a minus-6 rating through 68 outings overall. Brown's lack of offense has kept him out of the equation for fantasy for most of the season, but he could be a solid DFS budget target for Monday's game versus the Sharks.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Nabs helper Monday
Rotowire
Brown posted an assist in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blues.
Brown set up a Mattias Ekholm goal in the first period. The 30-year-old Brown was scratched from Saturday's win over the Ducks, but he's been playing fairly regularly even with the Oilers' efforts to beef up their depth at the trade deadline. The winger has five points over his last eight games, accounting for half of his offense through 62 appearances on the year.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Two more points in win
Rotowire
Brown tallied a goal and an assist in Thursday's 8-3 victory over the Sabres.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Nets first goal this season
Rotowire
Brown scored a goal on his lone shot in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Capitals.
Brown finally got into the goal column in Wednesday night's victory, deflecting an Evander Kane feed past Darcy Kuemper in the third period for his first tally in 55 games with Edmonton. It's certainly been a disappointing campaign for the 30-year-old Brown -- he came into the contest with just one point in his previous 18 games. He now has six points (one goal, five assists) on the campaign while working primarily on the OIlers' third line.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Ends long slump with helper
Rotowire
Brown notched an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
Brown entered Monday on an 11-game point drought. He ended the slump when he set up Ryan Nugent-Hopkins for an insurance marker in the third period. Brown has five assists, 79 shots on net and a minus-9 rating over 48 appearances this season. He's still sticking in the lineup over Sam Gagner, but Brown's fourth-line role makes him a non-factor in fantasy.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Picks up first point of month
Rotowire
Brown notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Brown's helper was his first point in nine games in January. He created a rebound for Dylan Holloway to bury for the Oilers' fourth goal. Brown is unlikely to see more than bottom-six usage until his offense is more reliable. For the season, the winger has just four assists with 65 shots on net and a minus-8 rating over 36 outings.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Picks up helper in win
Rotowire
Brown posted an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Ducks.
Brown has a pair of helpers over his last three games, though he remains in a bottom-six role. The winger helped out on the first of Warren Foegele's two tallies in the second period. Brown's up to three assists over 27 contests this season, and he's added 43 shots on net and a minus-8 rating. Fantasy managers who selected him as a sleeper for his junior history with Connor McDavid can let Brown go if they haven't already found a more productive depth forward.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Snaps drought
Rotowire
Brown provided an assist and fired three shots on goal in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Sharks.
Brown went 10 games without a point prior to Thursday, which also included a one-game absence as a healthy scratch. The 29-year-old winger, who missed nearly all of last season with an ACL injury, has not found his scoring touch in his first year with the Oilers. He's at two assists, 38 shots on net and a minus-9 rating through 25 appearances. Brown may lose his place in the lineup once Sam Gagner (undisclosed) and Dylan Holloway (lower body) are able to return.
