Connor Brown Set To Return to Oilers Lineup Today

Connor Brown has missed the last two weeks with a lower-body injury and is set to make his return to the lineup this afternoon with the Oilers. Brown was previously getting top-6 minutes to start the year, and he is expected to make a return to the Oilers top line.

He will return to the lineup tomorrow.

He was playing quite well the five games prior to tweaking his groin, and he needs to get back to that level right away.
