Blue Jackets F Gavin Brindley (finger) out 4-6 weeks Columbus Blue Jackets forward Gavin Brindley will be sidelined four-to-six weeks with a broken finger suffered in Tuesday’s 3-1 preseason vi...
Suffers broken finger Brindley was designated for injured reserve Thursday after suffering a broken finger versus St. Louis on Tuesday.
Impact Brindley is expected to miss 4-6 weeks due to his broken finger, which would set him up for a mid-November return to action. Given his lack of NHL experience and the extended stint on the shelf, the 19-year-old natural center may have to settle for starting the 2024-25 campaign in the minors with AHL Cleveland. Without Brindley in the mix, Mikael Pyyhtia could have a shot at making the Opening Night roster.

Scores game-winner Tuesday Brindley scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-1 preseason win over the Blues.
Impact Brindley is still in camp, competing for a bottom-six role with the Blue Jackets. The 19-year-old center netted his second goal of the preseason, scoring after getting the puck on a faceoff win by Luca Del Bel Belluz. Brindley made his NHL debut in the Blue Jackets' finale last year, but the University of Michigan product may need some time in the AHL before he's ready to be a full-time option in Columbus.

Pens three-year pact Brindley inked a three-year, entry-level contract with Columbus on Monday.
Impact Brindley's contract will kick in with immediate effect, setting him up to make his NHL debut versus the Hurricanes on Tuesday. The 19-year-old center is coming off a fantastic season with the University of Michigan in which he tallied 25 goals and 28 helpers in 40 contests. While the 2023 34th overall pick will get into his first NHL game Tuesday, he's far from a lock for the Opening Night roster coming out of training camp this fall.
