Kings' Brown out indefinitely with broken finger
by Josh Wegman from on (#3ZW5R)
Los Angeles Kings forward Dustin Brown is out indefinitely, as the club announced the veteran suffered a broken finger during the team's final preseason game on Sunday.
"It's not good to lose one of your top guys," teammate Drew Doughty told The Athletic's Lisa Dillman. "Brownie is a guy that is very very hard to replace. Both in the room and on the ice."
Brown is coming off a bounce-back season offensively, scoring 28 goals and adding 33 assists, all while accumulating a team-high 189 hits with his usual rugged style. He was poised to start the season on the Kings' top line with Anze Kopitar and Ilya Kovalchuk.
