Scores first game-winner Brindley scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.

Impact Brindley got a chance on the rush as the Avalanche made a line change in overtime, and he converted on a rebound that Kevin Lankinen wasn't able to sweep away in time. This was Brindley's first game-winning goal in his career, and just his third tally overall. He has three points over two games since returning from a concussion and five points through 14 outings in a fourth-line role. He's quickly gaining trust with his energy and tenacity, which could help Brindley stick in the lineup even when the Avalanche get Logan O'Connor (hip) and Joel Kiviranta (lower body) back.

Goal, assist in return Brindley scored a goal on two shots, logged an assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 9-1 win over the Oilers.

Impact Brindley returned from a concussion that cost him two games, and he retook his spot on the fourth line. The 21-year-old is still seeing fairly limited usage, though he occasionally gets some power-play time. He's at four points, 14 shots, 12 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 13 appearances. Brindley's fantasy appeal will be limited this year unless he can work his way into a middle-six role.

Set to return Saturday Brindley (concussion) is good to play in Saturday's clash against Edmonton, per Conor McGahey of Altitude TV.

Impact Brindley missed the Avalanche's previous two games. He's projected to serve on the fourth line, replacing Tristen Nielsen in the lineup after Nielsen was reassigned to the minors. Brindley has a goal, two points, two PIM, 12 shots, 12 hits and four blocks in 12 appearances this year.

Considered day-to-day Brindley (concussion) is day-to-day and won't play against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Meghan Angley of Guerilla Sports reports.

Impact Brindley will miss his second straight game, but he might be available to return against Edmonton on Saturday or versus Vancouver on Sunday. He has chipped in one goal, one assist, 12 shots on net and 12 hits across 12 appearances this season. Due to Brindley's absence, Tristen Nielsen could make his NHL debut against the Lightning on Tuesday.

Recovering from concussion Brindley (concussion) skated before Monday's practice in a non-contact jersey, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

It's unclear if he will be ready to play against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, but he hasn't been experiencing many symptoms. Brindley has one goal, one assist, 12 shots on net and 12 hits across 12 appearances this season.

Not playing Saturday Brindley (upper body) won't play against San Jose on Saturday, according to Corey Masisak of the Denver Post.

Impact Brindley will miss at least one game after being injured in Friday's 4-2 win over Vegas. He has chipped in one goal, one assist, 12 shots on net and nine hits across 11 appearances this season. Due to Brindley's absence, Taylor Makar will make his NHL debut on Colorado's fourth line versus the Sharks on Saturday.

Nets first NHL goal Brindley scored a goal in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Stars.

Impact Brindley put the Avalanche ahead 2-1 midway through the second period. The tally was his first goal and point in four NHL appearances, three of which have come to begin this season. The 21-year-old forward was acquired from the Blue Jackets in the offseason as the headlining part of the return when the Avalanche shed salary by sending Charlie Coyle and Miles Wood east. It's unclear if Brindley will stick in the lineup, but he's playing in a limited fourth-line role that offers minimal fantasy upside.

Impact Brindley had six goals, 17 points and 24 PIM in 52 regular-season appearances with AHL Cleveland in 2024-25. Columbus originally took Brindley with the No. 34 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft. He excelled with the University of Michigan, supplying 25 goals and 53 points in 40 outings as a sophomore in 2023-24, but he likely needs more time in the minors to develop.

Struggling in AHL Brindley has only one goal in his last nine games with AHL Cleveland.

Impact Brindley starred at the University of Michigan, tallying 25 goals and adding 28 assists in 40 games in 2023-24, before inking a three-year entry-level contract. Brindley played one game at the NHL level after signing last season, playing 12:20 in the final game of the regular-season, but failed to hit the scoresheet. Brindley has spent the 2024-25 campaign with AHL Cleveland, scoring five times while adding nine helpers in 28 games, missing the start of the year with a broken finger suffered during a preseason game against St. Louis.

Activated, sent down Brindley (finger) was taken off injured reserve and reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Thursday.

Impact Brindley was a long shot to make the roster coming out of training camp in the first place but his broken finger certainly didn't improve his chances. The 20-year-old center has played in just one NHL game in his career thus far. Unless he puts up ridiculous numbers in the minors, Brindley figures to spend the bulk of the upcoming campaign with the Monsters.

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.
