'''Dustin Brown''' (born November 4, 1984) is an [[United States|American]] professional [[ice hockey]] player who currently plays for and [[captain (ice hockey)|captains]] the [[Los Angeles Kings]] of the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL).

==Playing career==
Brown was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the first round, thirteenth overall, in the [[2003 NHL Entry Draft]]. His first [[National Hockey League|NHL]] game was October 9, 2003 against the [[Detroit Red Wings]].

Dustin Brown was brought up early, after coming from Guelph, but clearly was not ready for play in the NHL. He bounced back and forth between Manchester and Los Angeles until finally he cemented a place on the team for himself in the NHL during the 05–06 NHL season, mostly as a checking line forward. The next season saw a remarkable expansion in his roles, being placed on the scoring line with [[Anže Kopitar]]. 2007–08 would prove to be a breakout season, with Dustin Brown posting new highs in goals and points, leading the Kings with 33 goals.

On October 26, 2007, the Kings and Brown agreed to a six-year, $19.05 million contract extension that will keep him with the team until the 2014–2015 NHL season.<ref name = "LATimes-Contract">{{cite news | last = Dillman | first = Lisa | publisher = Los Angeles Times | title = Brown Gets A Six-Year Extension | url = http://articles.latimes.com/2007/oct/27/sports/sp-kingrep27 | date = [[2007-10-27]] | accessdate = 2008-10-08}}</ref>

Brown was named as the Kings&rsquo; captain on October 8, 2008.<ref name = "BrownCaptain">{{cite press release | publisher = Los Angeles Kings | title = Kings Announce Team Captains For 2008-09 | url = http://kings.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=385461 | date = [[2008-10-08]] | accessdate = 2008-10-08}}</ref>The fifteenth captain in franchise history, Brown, 23, is also the youngest captain and the first American-born captain in Kings&rsquo; history.<ref name = "BrownCaptain"/>
