Oilers' Connor Brown: Pens one-year deal
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
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
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
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.

Brown scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flames.
Brown has four goals this season, all of which have come over his last 11 outings. The winger's lack of offense was a hot topic for much of the campaign, but he's now providing solid depth scoring from the fourth line. He's at 11 points, 101 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 65 contests.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Nabs helper Monday
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: Scores in Tuesday's win
Brown scored a goal on two shots and added four PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.
Brown has three goals and an assist over his last six games, by far his best stretch of the season.

Brown is at nine points, 95 shots on net and a minus-8 rating through 60 appearances this season.

He's up to eight points (two goals, six assists) through 57 games while skating primarily in a fourth-line role.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Nets first goal this season
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
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: Slumping significantly
Brown has gone 11 games without a point.
Brown has 14 shots on net and a minus-1 rating in that span, yet he's still maintained his place in the lineup over Sam Gagner. The 30-year-old Brown has been unable to jump-start his offense this season. He's at four assists, 79 shots on net, 20 hits, 18 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 47 outings. With the Oilers fully healthy, Brown is unlikely to escape the fourth line any time soon.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Picks up first point of month
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
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
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.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Registers assist in win
Brown produced an assist in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Ducks.
Brown set up Evander Kane's first-period tally. The helper was Brown's first point of the season, though he missed six games with a lower-body injury that may have been hampering him before his absence. Brown has contributed 17 shots on net, 10 hits and a minus-6 rating through 14 appearances, and while he's in a top-six role, fantasy managers may want to wait for his offense to steady before trusting Brown on their rosters.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Back in action Saturday
Brown (groin) will return to the lineup Saturday in Tampa Bay, per Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton.
Brown has sat out the last five games, but he'll get a big assignment Saturday, as he'll start the game alongside Connor McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins on the top line. The Oilers changed coaches during Brown's absence and his (and McDavid's) former junior coach, Kris Knoblauch, has taken over the reins behind the Edmonton bench. Brown has yet to pick up a point in nine games this season.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Still sidelined against Kraken
Brown (knee) will not be available versus Seattle on Wednesday, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
Brown will be out of action for his sixth straight game due to his lingering knee problem. Prior to getting hurt, the 29-year-old winger wasn't exactly lighting it up, having failed to record a point in nine games to open the season. The Toronto native was averaging 1:05 of ice time with the man advantage over that stretch but was still unable to write his name on the scoresheet.
