WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins announced today that forward Christopher Brown has been recalled from their ECHL affiliate, the Wheeling Nailers.
Brown has been on a tear for the Nailers lately, posting seven goals and 10 points in Wheeling’s last 11 games. The Michigan-born forward’s recent outburst has him up to 17 points (10G-7A) on the season, his first as a pro.
Brown signed an AHL contract with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this past summer on July 3, 2019. Prior to that, he played three games for the Penguins on an amateur tryout agreement at the end of the 2018-19 season. Brown snagged one point, an assist, in that time.
