Senators add Brown from Flyers

The Philadelphia Flyers traded forward Patrick Brown to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for a 2023 sixth-round pick, the teams announced.

Brown will provide Ottawa with some depth up front and another option down the middle. He doesn't provide much offense, as he's only tallied two goals and five assists in 43 games this season, but his underlying defensive numbers are strong.

The 30-year-old is a physical presence, tallying 125 hits. He's also proficient in the faceoff circle, as the right-handed shot has won 53.8% of his draws.

Prior to joining the Flyers in 2021, he spent time with the Carolina Hurricanes and Vegas Golden Knights. He's registered 19 points in 120 career NHL games across seven seasons.
