Brown was put on waivers Sunday.
Brown signed a three-year, $3 million contract with the Oilers in July. He produced three goals, 10 points, 75 PIM, 112 hits and 85 blocked shots in 51 contests with the Coyotes in the 2023-24 regular season. If he begins the 2024-25 campaign with AHL Bakersfield, he will probably be among the first call-ups for the Oilers if reinforcements on defense are needed.

Oilers' Josh Brown: Gets three-year deal
Rotowire
Brown signed a three-year, $3 million contract with the Oilers on Monday.
Brown had three goals, 10 points, 75 PIM, 112 hits and 85 blocked shots in 51 contests with the Coyotes in 2023-24. The 30-year-old might end up frequently serving as a healthy scratch with Edmonton, but Brown will provide some grit on the third pairing when he is in the lineup.

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.

Rotowire
Brown scored a goal on three shots, doled out eight hits, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Friday's 7-4 win over the Golden Knights.

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.

Coyotes' Josh Brown: Picks up helper
Rotowire
Brown notched an assist, two blocked shots and five PIM in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Lightning.
Brown got into a fight with Tanner Jeannot in the first period and added an assist on Travis Boyd's goal in the second, which was the game-winner. The helper was Brown's first point in 10 contests. The 29-year-old defenseman has stayed in the lineup regularly of late with the Coyotes banged up on the blue line, but he's mostly been a physical presence. For the season, he's contributed two points, 30 PIM, 31 blocked shots, 21 hits, 14 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 14 appearances.

Brown's goal at 13:53 of the first period stood as the game-winner. The 29-year-old defenseman has played sporadically to start the year -- he's been in the lineup for the last two games while Travis Dermott (illness) has been sidelined. Brown has added 12 blocked shots, nine hits, two shots on net and a plus-1 rating. When he plays, he's likely to be on the third pairing.
