He made his NHL debut with the Hurricanes in a defeat to the New York Islanders on October 10, 2014. He recorded his first career NHL goal and assist on March 31, 2016, against the New York Rangers. He spent to majority of his tenure in the Hurricanes' organization with their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers, where he was team captain from 2016 to 2019 and won a Calder Cup in 2019.

After spending the first five seasons of his professional career within the Hurricanes organization, Brown left as a free agent to sign a two-year, $700,000 contract with the Vegas Golden Knights on July 1, 2019. He spent most of the season with Golden Knights' AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves. In 2021, he was named the team captain of the Golden Knights' new AHL affiliate, the Henderson Silver Knights.

Brown was placed on waivers by the Golden Knights on October 10, 2021 and claimed by the Philadelphia Flyers the next day.

His father played for the New Jersey Devils, Detroit Red Wings, and Pittsburgh Penguins, and his uncle played for the Buffalo Sabres, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Winnipeg Jets. Greg was also an associate head coach for Patrick while he played at Boston College. All three are Boston College alumni.
