Coyotes' Josh Brown: Opens scoring Wednesday
Rotowire
Brown scored a goal, added three hits and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.
Brown has three goals this season, two of which have come over the last four games. The 30-year-old blueliner is up to a career-high nine points with 40 shots on net, 106 hits, 80 blocked shots, 75 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 48 appearances. The Coyotes aren't carrying any extra defensemen, so Brown's playing time appears safe to close out the campaign.

Coyotes' Josh Brown: Puts up helper in loss
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.
Brown has played in three straight games after being scratched for five straight contests to begin February. The 30-year-old has displaced Travis Dermott from the lineup. Brown is up to six points, 27 shots on net, 53 hits, 53 blocked shots, 45 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 31 outings. Even when he plays, he's limited to a third-pairing role, and he's generated too little offense to make a splash in fantasy.

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.
