Over 16 seasons in the NHL, Brashear appeared in 1,025 regular-season games with the Montreal Canadiens, Vancouver Canucks, Philadelphia Flyers, Washington Capitals, and New York Rangers.

Throughout his career, Brashear tallied 205 points and accumulated 2,634 penalty minutes — the 15th-highest total in NHL history. His 372 penalty minutes during the 1997–1998 season rank 10th all-time for the most in a single season.
Since leaving the Rangers after the 2009–2010 campaign, Brashear has suited up in Sweden’s SHL as well as in various semi-professional leagues across North America.
