Brown scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 1.
Brown tallied an insurance goal with 1:46 left in the contest. With four goals and two assists over seven playoff outings, Brown has played his role well in a middle-six capacity. In addition to his depth scoring, he's supplied 13 shots on net, five hits, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating. Brown won't contribute on offense every game, but he's a decent option in DFS as a value pick.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Three points in Game 6 win
Rotowire
Brown scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added two assists and went plus-3 in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Kings in Game 6.
Brown set up goals by linemates Adam Henrique and Trent Frederic, then finished the scoring with a buzzer-beating empty-netter to fend off the Kings' late push. Brown produced five points 10 shots on net, five hits and a plus-2 rating over six contests in the first round. He's still filling a depth role, and with the Oilers finding success with their current line combinations, it's unlikely Brown gets moved around to start the second round against the Golden Knights.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Pots pair of goals in Game 3 win
Rotowire
Brown scored twice on three shots in Friday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 3.
Brown tied the game briefly at 3-3 in the second period, and he added a second empty-netter in the third to help secure the Oilers' first win of the series. The 31-year-old winger filled in on the top line late in the regular season, but he's since moved back to a bottom-six role now that the Oilers' forward group is healthier. Brown had 30 points in 82 regular-season contests, so he can be a decent source of depth scoring this postseason.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Scores again in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Brown scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
The Connor connection worked again Sunday, as Brown's goal was set up by Connor McDavid to open the scoring at 0:59 of the second period. This was Brown's fourth goal in three games since joining McDavid on the top line, and it's a partnership that could last into the playoffs if it keeps yielding results. For the season, Brown has reached the 30-point mark (13 goals, 17 helpers) for the fifth time in his career and the first time since 2021-22. He's added 120 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 80 appearances in 2024-25.
Brown scored an empty-net goal on six shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
Brown has three goals over two games since he was elevated to the top line amid the Oilers' injury crisis. The 31-year-old has thrown it back to the Erie Otters days while playing alongside Connor McDavid, and it's helping the Oilers stay warm while they're missing big-name teammates. Brown is now at 12 goals, 29 points, 117 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 79 appearances.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Scores twice in top-line twirl
Rotowire
Brown scored two goals on three shots and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Blues.
Brown got the Oilers on the board early in the second period and then secured the win with his second goal of the game at 19:39 of the third. Injuries have greatly impacted the Oilers' forward depth, but Brown was able to check in on the top line in Connor McDavid's (lower body) return. Brown has three goals over his last four contests and is up to 11 tallies, 28 points, 111 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 78 appearances.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Opens scoring Thursday
Rotowire
Brown scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
Brown snapped an 11-game goal drought with the opening tally in this contest. Over that span, he was limited to two assists and 17 shots on net. The 31-year-old winger has mainly played in a middle-six role with minimal power-play usage, so a lack of offense shouldn't come as a surprise. He's up to nine goals, 26 points, 104 shots, 35 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 75 appearances this season. Brown is one of four Oilers to have played in every game so far, along with Evan Bouchard, Vasily Podkolzin and Brett Kulak.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Hands out helper in win
Rotowire
Brown logged an assist and fired three shots on goal in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Kraken.
Brown set up a Jeff Skinner goal in the second period, which put the Oilers ahead 3-2. Over 11 contests in March, Brown has contributed a goal and two helpers while filling a bottom-six role. The 31-year-old winger is up to 25 points, 98 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 70 appearances. While it's a better pace than last year's 12 points in 71 regular-season games, Brown's modest offense and relatively low non-scoring production make him a poor option for most fantasy managers.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Snaps goal drought
Rotowire
Brown scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Stars.
Brown attempted a centering pass, but it was bounced back to him off a Dallas defender. The winger took advantage, burying the Oilers' fifth goal, which was ultimately the game-winner. Prior to Saturday, he had been limited to one assist over his last nine outings. Brown has put together a decent campaign in a bottom-six role with eight goals, 23 points, 85 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 63 appearances. He doesn't look to be at risk of losing much playing time when Trent Frederic (lower body) is activated from injured reserve for his Oilers debut.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Nets game-winner in OT
Rotowire
Brown scored the game-winning goal in the extra period of Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blues.
Brown notched the game-winner on a one-timer following the feed from Connor McDavid. The 31-year-old winger is up to seven goals, 21 assists and 77 shots on net across 53 games this season. Following a 10-game drought without a point, Brown has tallied two points in his last four contests. He is well clear of his 14-point debut season with Edmonton a year ago but has work to do if he wants to get back to 30-40 point form.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Gathers helper Monday
Rotowire
Brown notched an assist and two PIM in Monday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
Coincidentally, Brown's last point was also a helper versus the Kraken on Jan. 4. The 31-year-old didn't get on the scoresheet over 10 contests between meetings with the Oilers' division rival. Brown is now at 20 points through 50 outings, but just two of those points have come in January. He's added 73 shots on net, 25 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating while mainly playing in a middle-six role this season.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Posts assist in win
Rotowire
Brown notched an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
Brown has six helpers over his last six outings. He has appeared on the top line for a few games, but his 19:24 of ice time Saturday made it look like more than just an on-paper designation. That makes Brown an interesting option in fantasy. He's at 19 points, 55 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 39 appearances while seeing nothing more than traces of power-play time. If he continues to see top-line usage, he should be rostered in more fantasy formats, as any proximity to Connor McDavid is typically a good thing for most players.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Provides two more helpers
Rotowire
Brown notched two assists and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Utah.
Brown has taken the season of giving literally -- he has five helpers over his last four games. Going back to Dec. 12, he's racked up three goals and seven assists over nine contests. At least to begin Tuesday's game, he was on the top line at even strength. Brown had been in a third-line role for much of the campaign, but even a part-time gig alongside Connor McDavid makes a player worth a look in fantasy. Brown is up to 18 points, 53 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 37 appearances. His usage will be worth monitoring in the coming days and weeks.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Records assist in loss
Rotowire
Brown notched an assist in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Ducks.
Brown has a helper in three straight contests, and he's earned three goals and five assists over his last eight games. The 30-year-old winger is making the most of his third-line role while serving as a key defensive forward for the Oilers. He's up to 16 points, 53 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 36 outings this season, giving him a decent chance of getting back to the 30-point mark for the first time since the 2021-22 campaign with the Senators.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Grabs helper Sunday
Rotowire
Brown notched an assist and blocked two shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Senators.
Brown has three goals and three assists over his last six outings. The 30-year-old winger shouldn't be expected to add consistent offense from the third line, but he can chip in as a depth scorer while staying in the lineup for his steady defensive play. He's now at 14 points, 52 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 34 appearances, two points better than his performance over 71 regular-season contests in 2023-24.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Tallies in loss
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
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
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
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
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.
