Signed a two-year contract extension with the Avalanche in November of 2025.
Tweaks something Wednesday
Brindley (upper body) tweaked something in Wednesday's game versus the Blues and will be evaluated Thursday, Bailey Curtis of DNVR Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
It's not exactly clear when Brindley sustained the injury, but he can be considered day-to-day for now. The Avalanche have a back-to-back ahead, visiting the Hurricanes on Saturday and the Panthers on Sunday. Joel Kiviranta (lower body) is also ailing, so the Avalanche may need to make a roster move to replenish their forward depth before their three-game road trip.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might return to lineup
Brindley, who is on injured reserve because of a lower-body injury, could be an option to draw into the lineup Tuesday in Nashville, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Brindley has missed nine games in a row and hasn't been in the lineup since Nov. 20 against the Rangers. Martin Necas is a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup due to an illness, so Brindley is a potential option to replace Necas in the lineup if he's unable to suit up, per Masisak. Either way, it wouldn't be surprising to see Brindley activated off injured reserve in the near future.
