Will Brown be able to break out?

Dustin Brown still ranks third on the Kings in goals this season, with 18, but Brown has scored only one goal in his last 15 games. Brown was part of the latest line shuffling, as he picked up two new linemates in center Andrei Loktionov and left winger Kyle Clifford. Today, Terry Murray was asked about Brown’s production, and the importance of getting him back on track…

MURRAY: “When you get into this time of the year, you need to try to get your balanced scoring going, whether it’s from the back end or all the lines, with everybody contributing. It will come for Brownie. I think his intensity, his emotional connection to every game is going to allow him to create some opportunities, either individually or through the line attacking together. So it is a frustrating time for him right now, and moving him from one line to another is never an easy task, either, for a player. But that sometimes works, and hopefully it starts to click for him soon.”
