Los Angeles Kings right wing Dustin Brown was back from a 14-game absence on Tuesday against Chicago and made an instant impact with two assists in a 5-2 win.

Brown logged 12:37 and added five shots and two hits to his tally. The Kings captain hasn't had an enjoyable campaign and is currently on track for a career-low nine goals and 30 points.
