Fantasy Analysis
That explains his struggles -- he didn't get a point after the injury. He did manage to lay 21 hits in five games against Chicago, though, so at least he was contributing something. He'll need surgery and rehab this offseason; a timetable for his return will come. (Updated 6/8/13).

06/01/2013 19:45 NHL Playoffs: Grades for Night 31
The NHL conference finals are finally underway, so let's hand out some grades for the Penguins, Blackhawks, Kings, and Bruins.
Dustin Brown saw a dip in his regular-season numbers (22 goals and 32 assists in 82 games) thanks to a sluggish start, but turned his game up a notch as the season came to a close (8 goals and 15 assists in his last 21 games). And he was an integral part of the Kings' Cup run, scoring eight goals and adding 12 assists in 20 games. He's a remarkably consistent and healthy player, but may never have the breakout offensive season many were expecting. He'll be back in a top-six role again for the Kings. (Updated 8/14/12)
