Originally selected by the Kings in the first-round (13th overall) in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, Brown made his debut at the start of the 2003-04 regular season.
A native of Ithaca, New York, Brown last week became just the second player in Kings history to play his first 1,000 games as a King, joining Dave Taylor (1,111 games).
Since the NHL officially started tracking the stat in 1997-98, Brown has led the NHL with 3,083 hits in his career.

Brown became the 48th player in NHL history to play his first 1,000 games for one franchise; the 55th player to have played for the Kings and reach the milestone; the 20th player to accomplish the feat in a Kings uniform; the 19th active NHL player to hit the mark; and the 315th skater in NHL history to reach the milestone -- and 317th player overall (includes two goalies).
