Edmonton Oilers Forward Goes With a New Look: Get in where you fit in
In order to strengthen the Oilers' forward core, Ken Holland brought in Connor Brown.
Brown wore a different look in the 6-1 victory over the Nashville Predators that Oilers fans with a good eye might have noticed.
Asked Connor Brown why he decided to shave his beard right before the game on Tuesday:
«I was on the kid line. I was just trying to fit in.» #Oilers
In order to try something new, the Toronto-born winger shaved his hair off. As of his appearance on HNIC's Afterhours segment, it was intact.
Against the Nashville Predators a few nights later, Brown would be clean-shaven.
It appears Brown was just trying to fit in on the kid line for the Oilers after being demoted to the third line. In the words of Oilers reporter Tony Brar.
The fact that two 22 and 24-year-old linemates are clean-shaven and young adds to the quirkiness of the situation.
