Mike Brown: Released from PTO
Brown was released from his tryout by the Blue Jackets on Wednesday, James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail reports.
Brown made 58 appearances last season for the Sharks and Canadiens, but was only able to tally five points while averaging a meager 7:13 of ice time. In terms of fantasy, the winger's best contribution comes in the form of PIM, as he spent 90 minutes in the sin bin last year.

Blue Jackets' Mike Brown: Will attend camp on PTO
Brown signed a professional tryout agreement with the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, Chris Johnston of Sportsnet reports.
Brown is likely just a placeholder with Columbus missing five forwards due to the World Cup of Hockey. The winger is 39 years old and recorded a meager five points in 58 contests last season; the veteran's main fantasy value came from his 90 PIM and 120 hits, but outside of those categories, his contributions are nearly nil.

Canadiens' Mike Brown: Plays Saturday
Brown (upper body) had two hits, two blocked shots and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers. He had left the Habs' previous game due to the injury.
Montreal was officially eliminated from the playoffs with the loss, so we'll see if that reality has any impact on how head coach Michel Therrien chooses to use his vetarans vis-a-vis the young forwards on the roster. Brown has been in the active lineup most nights and gives an honest effort, which carries some weight with the coach. If he continues to get ice time and fantasy owners can use Brown's style -- the nine-year veteran has 23 PIM and 51 hits in 12 games with Montreal -- you'll get someone who doesn't hold back and is motivated to play for his next contract.

Canadiens' Mike Brown: Dealing with upper-body injury
Brown left Thursday night's game against Detroit early with an upper-body injury, Hockey Inside Out reports.
Brown took part in Friday's optional practice, but his status for Saturday's game against the Rangers has not been confirmed. The 30-year-old, who was the first star in Tuesday's win over the Ducks, brings some value in tough play. Since joining the Habs 11 games ago, Brown has 23 minutes in penalties.

Canadiens' Mike Brown: Has ultra-rare multi-point game
Brown scored a goal and added an assist in just 7:42 on the ice in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Ducks.
Well, that's uncommon, to say the least. Brown had only three points in 53 games coming into Tuesday's action, but if you somehow bet the house on him scoring his second goal of the year -- not to mention another point to boot -- you'd have won a whole row of mansions. The 36-year-old enforcer's fantasy value is typically limited to hits and PIM, and he doesn't even rack up too many of those anymore.

Canadiens' Mike Brown: Returns to lineup
Brown returned to the Montreal lineup Thursday after being a healthy scratch Wednesday night. He had five hits and two penalty minutes in 9:10 of ice time in a 3-2 loss to Los Angeles.
Knowing the Kings like to he physical, head coach Michel Therrien activated Brown over Sven Andrighetto. In the two games he's been active since the Canadiens claimed him off waivers, Brown has eight hits.

Canadiens' Mike Brown: Makes debut with Montreal
Brown made his Montreal debut on Monday, skating 11:30 on the fourth line in a 6-2 loss to San Jose.
Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin admitted he's been unhappy with the way the team has been pushed around this season and the acquisition of Brown should help remedy that. Brown, who had three hits Monday, has 751 penalty minutes in 394 career games.

Canadiens' Mike Brown: Suiting up Monday
Brown, who was claimed off waivers by Montreal on Monday, practiced with the team and is expected to be in the lineup Monday night when the Habs play at San Jose, Brown's former team, the Montreal Gazette reports.
Brown skated on the right wing of the fourth line, along with Michael McCarron at center and Torrey Mitchell at left wing during the team's morning skate. Brown, who had three points in 44 games for the Sharks this year, is noted for his belligerence and brings some much-needed size to Montreal's corps of forwards.

Canadiens' Mike Brown: Claimed from Sharks
Brown was claimed off waivers from the Sharks by Montreal on Monday, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports.
The enforcer had stuck around in San Jose for a while, but it seems to be time for the NHL's best mustache to move on to different pastures. We'll see if he gets opportunities to bring his PIM-and-hits combo to bear with Les Habs; if he does, owners in leagues that utilize those categories will be well served to pay attention.

Sharks' Mike Brown: Is a scratch Tuesday
Brown will be scratched from the lineup Tuesday against Colorado, reports Kevin Kurz of CSN Bay Area.
Brown will come out with Dainius Zubrus getting fully healthy. Brown's fantasy utility remains very limited. Even if you're just looking for someone who can deliver penalty minutes, there are likely better options out there. Brown isn't in the lineup consistently, and when he is, he skates some of the lowest minutes in the league.

Sharks' Mike Brown: Will play Saturday
Brown (undisclosed) will return to action Saturday against the Ducks, Curtis Pashelka of the San Jose Mercury News reports.
Brown missed Thursday's game against the Panthers with an undisclosed injury, but has recovered from the ailment and will draw back into San Jose's lineup Saturday against Anaheim. He will likely slot in as a bottom-six forward for the Sharks on Saturday.

Sharks' Mike Brown: Appears unlikely to play Thursday
Brown is dealing with an undisclosed injury, but Sharks head coach Peter DeBoer said he "should be fine for the weekend," with the team hosting the Ducks on Saturday, Kevin Kurz of CSN Bay Area reports.
Based on early talk from the bench boss about Brown's availability for the weekend and the team's decision to call up forwards Nikolay Goldobin and Micheal Haley, there is reason to believe that Brown will miss Thursday night's contest against the visiting Panthers.

Sharks' Mike Brown: Throws eight hits in win
Brown had eight hits and a pair of shots in Saturday's win over the Ducks.
Brown isn't a big fantasy presence by any stretch, but if you're rostering him your league probably scores penalty minutes and hits. No penalty minutes to be had here, but eight hits is a a huge game in that department.

Securing Ice Time Could Be Hard For Sharks' Brown
Brown could have difficulty cracking the lineup on a regular basis this season, CSN Bay Area's Kevin Kurz reports.The Sharks missed the toughness and grinding ability last season from Raffi Torres and Brown, both of whom missed significant time with injury, but neither player is an ideal fit for new coach Peter DeBoer, who prefers to ice four skilled lines with scoring ability. With only 31 points in 349 career games, Brown doesn't really fit that profile, and could spend a lot of time in the press box as a result.... See More ... See Less
