Dustin Brown missed yesterday’s practice because he still was traveling back from Montreal for the All-Star Game. Brown said he wasn’t able to get on the early flight, so he didn’t get back to Los Angeles until 10 p.m.
“It was a great experience, especially being in Montreal,” Brown said. “It was a good chance to get to know those guys.”
He was thrilled to get to know Shane Doan and Mike Modano, guys he’s played against but never had a chance to get to know.
Brown hadn’t had much time to chat with his teammates since returning, but he said he’s not going to prompt a conversation about it.
“If they ask about it I will, but it’s something I’m sure a lot of these guys will experience,” Brown said. “I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the NHL wants you to go up there and have a good time.”
