Oilers Get Definitive Injury Update on Top-Six Forward Before Stanley Cup Final

Brown enters the Stanley Cup Final with eight points in 14 games, including five goals. He also appeared in all 82 regular-season games, contributing 13 goals and 17 assists for 30 total points and a plus-9 valuation.

"I feel good," Brown said. "Nice to get a practice in with the team. Obviously, I haven’t been practicing much. It’s nice to get it going. I’m excited."

Although he joined his teammates on Sunday, it's still unclear which forward line he will be part of in Game 1.

"I’ve got no idea what the line combinations are," Brown said. "Obviously, I’m not trying to put my coaching hat on or anything like that. 

"It’s just my job to be ready to go."

Head coach Kris Knoblauch said he expects Brown to be in the lineup, but didn't provide any clarity on the lines.

"I think he will be fine," Knoblauch said. "Obviously, you saw him on the ice and double-shifting, and I’m pretty sure and confident that he will be fine for Game 1."

Connor McDavid also  left practice early on Sunday, prompting brief concern. However, Knoblauch clarified there were no issues with the Oilers captain.

Game 1 is scheduled for Wednesday in Edmonton, with puck drop set at 8 p.m. ET.
