Fantasy managers shouldn't expect much from Brown -- he has four points, 42 blocked shots, 41 PIM, 34 hits, 22 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over 25 appearances.

The 29-year-old is up to three points, 16 shots on net, 37 blocked shots, 34 PIM and 26 hits through 17 appearances this season. With Sean Durzi's (lower body) status up in the air, Brown could continue to hold a spot in the lineup. The Coyotes may eventually have to choose between Brown and Michael Kesselring when the team is closer to full health.
