Elevated from minors Brown was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Thursday.

Impact Brown was sent down Wednesday, which seemed to indicate the Oilers would have a full complement of blueliners for Thursday's matchup with the Wild but it seems that isn't the case. Darnell Nurse (upper body) has already been ruled out, which means Brown will serve as an emergency depth option should something else come up before puck drop.

Brown is up to six points, 27 shots on net, 53 hits, 53 blocked shots, 45 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 31 outings.

Snags another helper Brown notched an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Lightning.

Impact Brown has two helpers over his last three games. He's starting to get more of a regular run in the lineup after seeing minimal ice time as a seventh defenseman early in January. Brown has five points, 48 blocked shots, 45 PIM, 41 hits and 23 shots on net through 27 outings.

Getting look due to injuries Brown notched an assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.

Impact Brown has been in the lineup for five straight games as the Coyotes have gone with seven defensemen. That lineup strategy may not last much longer with Troy Stecher (lower body) out long term and Matt Dumba (upper body) hurt in Monday's game, but the injuries could allow Brown to stay suited up. 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.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Not in lineup often Brown has been scratched for 11 straight games.

Impact Brown had some steady playing time in November, but it dried up when the Coyotes' blue line got back to full health in mid-December. The 29-year-old will likely continue to sit out until there's an injury on the blue line or the Coyotes decide to cycle him in. He has just three points with 34 PIM, 31 hits, 40 blocked shots and 18 shots on net through 20 appearances.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Manages assist Monday Brown recorded an assist, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-0 win over the Capitals.

Impact Brown has earned two helpers over the last four games despite seeing a reduced role with the Coyotes running seven defensemen in the lineup. 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.

The helper was Brown's first point in 10 contests. The 29-year-old defenseman has stayed in the lineup regularly of late with the Coyotes banged up on the blue line, but he's mostly been a physical presence. For the season, he's contributed two points, 30 PIM, 31 blocked shots, 21 hits, 14 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 14 appearances.
