Brown (upper body) is not expected to return anytime soon, Erik Erlendsson of The Tampa Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Erlendsson added that Brown only has an outside chance of returning late in the semifinal series against the Islanders. The Bolts could really use Brown, as he's a physical winger who can crack the scoresheet on occasion. He'll have to participate in practice or morning skate in order for us to get the sense that he's nearing a return.
