The Spitfires gave up a pair of conditional second-round picks to get Addison from the Ottawa 67’s.

“We’ve been hanging a lot the last couple weeks and I think as you can get that chemistry off the ice, it’s going to translate on the ice, too,” Brown said. “You look at it and it looks like we’ll be linemates, which is great.

“He can score and I like having guys who can score,” added Brown, who had a goal and three assists against Flint. “Last year, I had Brendan Lemieux and Fisch (Fischer) and they were scorers and I would just pass.”

Luke Kirwan had Flint up 1-0 after the first period, but Brown tied it on a feed from Luke Boka, who was filling in for Fischer on the right side.

“He was good tonight,” Brown said of Boka, who had two assists.

Later Addison took a nice cross-ice feed from Brown to score a power-play goal to put Windsor up 2-1 after two periods.

“I think it’s just kind clicking right now,” said Addison, a Montreal Canadiens’ prospect. “Training camp you’re trying to find someone who can click and right now we’re clicking.”

Addision and Brown assisted on a Mikhail Sergachev goal before Addison scored his second goal in the third period. Windsor rookies Tyler Angle and Cole Purboo closed the scoring.

“We put them together to see if there’s chemistry and I think there is already,” Thompson said of Brown and Addison. “They looked good out there. I think they showed they’re starting to find some chemistry and they’ve only played one game together. You could see they were starting to compliment each other as the game went on.”
