Oilers' Josh Brown: Elevated from minors
Rotowire
Brown was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Thursday.
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.

Rotowire
Brown notched an assist, three shots on goal, four hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Coyotes' Josh Brown: Snags another helper
Rotowire
Brown notched an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Lightning.
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. While he may stick in the lineup until Matt Dumba (upper body) returns, Brown is unlikely to see much more than bottom-four usage.

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