Hartford Wolf Pack general manager Jim Schoenfeld announced today that the Wolf Pack have signed defenseman Brad Brown to a Professional Tryout (PTO) agreement.

This is the second Wolf Pack PTO this season for Brown, a 12th-year pro who has logged 330 career NHL games with the New York Rangers, Montreal Canadiens, Chicago Blackhawks, Minnesota Wild and Buffalo Sabres. He played 10 games with the Wolf Pack after signing his original PTO March 11th, registering one assist, five penalty minutes and a +4 rating.

Brown, a 32-year-old native of Baie Verte, Newfoundland, was scoreless in two playoff games for the Everblades.
