Connor Brown’s 40+ Point Push | NHL News

0:00On September 12th, the New Jersey Devils are gearing up for the 2026 to 2027 season with a chip on their shoulder. After a strong start last year, they stumbled and missed the playoffs, and their determined to rewrite that story. A big part of that narrative is player Connor Brown, who joined the team in the 2025 offseason. Last season, Brown played in 75 games, putting up 18 goals and 25 assists for 43 points, which was a career high. He even had a brief stint on injure reserve in late October, but bounced back quickly, proving his value no matter where the coach slotted him in the. lineup from the top six to the bottom six. Now, with new talent like Luke Evangelista and Anthony Matha joining the squad, Brown is expected to primarily play in the bottom six this upcoming season. The team's depth has increased significantly, but his ability to produce points remains crucial for the devil's success. Brown is also on the verge of hitting some major career milestones. He's just 24 games away from his 700th NHL game and needs 24 assists to reach 200 for his career.

1:07Both of these achievements are well within reach for the 2026 to 2027 season. Looking ahead, my prediction is that Connor Brown will once again deliver a 40 plus point season. He found his rhythm in New Jersey last year, and I expect him to continue being a consistent offensive threat, even from the bottom six. Team coverage, powered by AI. This is NHL News today.
