Brown played just four games in 2022-23, as he sustained a torn ACL early in the season, his first with the Washington Capitals.
The 29-year-old is coming off a three-year, $10.8 million contract he signed with the Ottawa Senators in 2020. He was acquired by the Capitals in July of 2022 in exchange for a 2024 second-round pick.
In 448 career games with the Capitals, Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs, Brown has scored 90 goals and added 126 assists for 216 points.
The Toronto native was originally drafted in the sixth round (156th overall) by the Leafs in the 2012 NHL Draft.
