Arizona has decided to go back to their convention 12 forward, six defensemen system and Josh Brown will be the odd man out Saturday vs. Winnipeg due to that. The 29-year-old defensemen has a goal, two SOG, four PIMs and a +1 plus/minus in five games played but will unfortunately head to the press box Saturday.
Brown will take the place of Travis Dermott (illness). Brown has played in two games this season for the Coyotes, registering no points, one shot on goal, four blocked shots, and five hits.
Brown was a healthy scratch for Arizona's victory over the Rangers on Monday but will draw back into the lineup Tuesday vs. the New York Islanders. The 29-year-old defensemen will be replacing Troy Stecher in the Coyotes' lineup. In his one-game of action this season, he has one SOG through 13:14 TOI.
Brown collected 13:14 TOI in the Coyotes' season opening win vs. New Jersey but will be the odd man out as he is a healthy scratch Monday for Troy Stecher. The 29-year-old defenseman is coming off a four goal, three assist, 87 PIM season across 68 games played in 2022-23 and is playing in his sixth NHL season and has eight goals and 24 points in 240 career games played.
Brown left the Coyotes' previous game vs. Calgary after 9:49 TOI due to an upper-body injury and will not play Thursday vs. Vancouver as he is considered day-to-day. The 29-year-old has four goals, three assists, 56 SOG, 58 PIMs and a -14 plus/minus through 60 games played prior to his injury.
Brown will head to the press box Wednesday as Arizona decides to go back down to six defensemen and he finds himself the odd man out. The 28-year-old has two goals and an assist with a -3 plus/minus across 20 GP this season.
Brown played in three straight games but will be replaced by Brandon Carlo (undisclosed) in the lineup on Saturday.
Brown was acquired from the Senators at the trade deadline and is set to make his Bruins debut on Thursday. Brown, who had six assists, 106 hits and 57 blocked shots in 46 games with Ottawa, will replace Connor Clifton in the lineup.
Brown is dealing with a lower-body issue and will be a game-time decision in Florida. If Brown is unable to play, Dillon Heatherington will play on the third pairing next to Victor Mete.
Brown returned to the lineup on Monday but played just 2:35 TOI before departing with an upper-body injury. Brown will be out until after the Christmas break and could be sidelined until mid-January.
Brown is expected to be sidelined for the rest of the season with an undisclosed injury that he suffered on Monday. Jacob Bernard-Docker will replace him in the lineup on Wednesday.
Brown was acquired from the Panthers for a 2020 fourth-round pick last Friday and he will likely skate in the Senators' top-6 defensemen in 2021. The 26-year-old is a towering defenseman (6-foot-5, 217 lbs.) but offers very little in terms of offence--10 points (4G / 6A) in 93 career NHL games.
Brown was originally a sixth-round pick of the Panthers (2013) and worked his way into an NHL defenseman in 2020. Brown spent the whole season in Florida, where he played primarily as Keith Yandle's D-partner and scored three goals with five assists (eight points) in 56 games. At 6-foot-5, 217 lbs. Brown can be a physical force on the ice but had just 77 hits (to lead FLA defensemen) in 2020.
