He currently plays for the National Hockey League's Philadelphia Flyers. The Montreal Canadiens signed him as a free agent in 1992.

During the February 21, 2000 Vancouver-Boston game, when Brashear played for Vancouver, Boston enforcer Marty McSorley struck Brashear in the side of his head with his stick. Brashear fell to ice, his head bounced, and his unsecured helmet flew off. He was knocked unconscious due to grade 3 concussion.
Brashear returned the next season and had a career year in production to that point.
