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.

Rotowire
Brown posted an assist in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blues.

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: Nets first goal this season
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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.

Rotowire
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.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Picks up helper in win
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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.
