Devils' Connor Brown: Supplies two assists in loss
Rotowire
Brown recorded two power-play assists in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Seattle.
Brown played a hand in both goals scored by New Jersey on Sunday. With the pair of secondary helpers, he is up to 11 assists, 21 points, 61 shots on net and 26 blocks across 45 games this season. The 32-year-old winger is currently riding a three-game point streak and has carved out a solid role in New Jersey's middle six. Already just nine points away from matching the 30 points he posted in 82 regular-season games with the Oilers a year ago, Brown should remain involved with his new team's offense moving forward, giving him decent fantasy value in deep leagues.

Devils' Connor Brown: One of each Monday
Rotowire
Brown scored a goal, dished out an assist and fired two shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.
Brown got involved with a secondary helper in the first period before netting the go-ahead goal midway through the second. With the pair of points, the 31-year-old winger is up to six goals, two assists and 22 shots on net through 15 games this season. The points were his first since his seven-game stretch on the shelf from Nov. 1-15 due to an upper-body injury. When healthy, Brown has been involved a fair amount in New Jersey's offensive plans from the third line. He could become relevant in deep leagues if he starts to trend closer towards the 30-point mark that he reached with Edmonton during the 2024-25 regular season.
