It is confirmed that Brown suffered a chest contusion during the second period of Los Angeles’ 4-0 win over the Florida Panthers on Saturday. Brown is scheduled to see a doctor in Philadelphia on Monday morning, and there is no clear indication of whether the Kings’ captain will be available against the Flyers on Monday night.
Brown headed into the locker room in the second period and did not return for the third period. He missed two games earlier in the week with a lower-body injury and illness, but now he is dealing with an upper-body injury. Consider him day-to-day until more details are known.

After missing the preseason with a hamstring injury, Brown has been bumped down to the third line because of Dwight King's impressive camp alongside Anze Kopitar and Justin Williams. The Kings like to roll all four lines so Brown will still see ample playing time on the third line. This move could be temporary as he works himself back into game shape after not playing in an exhibition game.
Brown is really consistent and should be in for another mid-50 point season.
"If you asked me today, 'Will I be playing in Minnesota?' - Yeah," said Brown. He has not played during the preseason because of a hamstring injury.
"He skated one day since the start of camp, and he’s not a guy that can just jump into a game," said Kings head coach Darryl Sutter "So if he doesn’t get any exhibition games, I’d say it’s highly unlikely that you’ve got a player that’s ready for the season." You do not like to hear this from coach Sutter, however Brown is not expected to miss an extensive period of time so his draft day value should remain the same.
The right-winger joined goaltender Jonathan Quick, defencemen Drew Doughty and Slava Voynov and forwards Mike Richards and Jeff Carter as players signed for at least the next six seasons.

Brown delievered a hard elbow to Pominville's head in the second period of yesterday's contest. Pomnville left the game and did not return. He is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
