Zach Hyman scored a tiebreaking power-play goal in the third period, and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3.

Naturally, given this mix, Brown got the least ice time among Oilers blueliners at 11:49. His most notable moment came in the first period when he levelled Trent Frederic with a hip check along the boards by the Oilers bench. Brown was used on the penalty kill in the third when Ekholm was in the box.

Edmonton Oilers defenceman Mattias Ekholm is a game-time decision Wednesday night, head coach Kris Knoblauch said. Ekholm wasn’t out for the morning skate with the rest of the team, as Brett Kulak slid into his spot flanking Evan Bouchard.
