Brindley was recalled from AHL Colorado on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Brindley was sent down earlier Friday, but he'll be called up later in the day, a signal that the move was simply made so he'll be eligible to participate in the AHL playoffs. Across 47 appearances with the Avalanche this year, he's recorded six goals, six assists, 31 hits, 12 blocked shots and eight PIM while averaging 9:51 of ice time.

Brindley was reassigned to the minors Friday, per Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports.

EDGE Analysis

Brindley has six goals and 12 points in 47 outings with the Avalanche in 2025-26. Joel Kiviranta (concussion) is set to return for Friday's game against Dallas, and the Avalanche acquired Nicolas Roy from Toronto on Thursday. Those were likely factors in the Avalanche's decision to send Brindley to the AHL.

Brindley tallied the game-winning goal and placed two shots on net in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Brindley broke the 1-1 tie midway through the third period with a goal that would ultimately stand as the go-ahead tally. With Saturday's twine finder, the 21-year-old forward is up to six goals, 12 points, 53 shots on net and 30 hits across 45 games this season. His goal Saturday snapped a 25-game streak without finding the back of the net and 13-game run without recording a point. The young forward has flashed his potential this season, but remains off the fantasy radar until he earns a larger role with the Avalanche.

Brindley picked up two assists in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Facing the team that selected him 34th overall in the 2023 Draft, Brindley snapped an 11-game point drought by having a hand in a pair of Brent Burns tallies, including the GWG in the first period. Brindley has shown occasional glimpses of upside in his first full season in the NHL, and through his first 31 games with Colorado he's managed five goals and 11 points with 37 shots on net, 25 hits and a plus-8 rating.

Brindley (lower body) will play Sunday against the Panthers, according to the NHL Media site.

EDGE Analysis

Brindley was injured during Wednesday's 6-1 victory over the Blues and missed Saturday's contest against the Hurricanes as a result. It will be just a one game absence for the 21-year-old as he is set to return for Sunday's battle with the Panthers. He has registered nine points (five goals, four assists) in 27 games played.

Brindley (lower body) will miss Saturday's game in Carolina, per Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.

EDGE Analysis

Brindley has five goals and nine points in 27 appearances in 2025-26. Taylor Makar is expected to draw into the lineup due to Brindley's absence.

Brindley (lower body) is day-to-day, and he'll travel with the Avalanche to Carolina ahead of Saturday's game against the Hurricanes, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.

EDGE Analysis

Brindley sustained the injury during Wednesday's 6-1 win over St. Louis. He has five goals and nine points in 27 appearances in 2025-26. If Brindley plays Saturday, it will probably be as part of the fourth line.

Brindley (upper body) tweaked something in Wednesday's game versus the Blues and will be evaluated Thursday, Bailey Curtis of DNVR Sports reports.

EDGE 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.

Brindley scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Brindley missed nine games due to a lower-body injury and sat out Tuesday as a healthy scratch. He drew back in for Zakhar Bardakov in this contest, and Brindley's performance suggests he'll be sticking in the lineup moving forward. The 21-year-old forward is at a total of nine points, 25 shots on net, 19 hits and a plus-5 rating through 19 appearances this season.

Brindley (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Following a nine-game absence, Brindley will be available to return to the lineup against Nashville on Tuesday. He has collected four goals, seven points, 22 shots on net and 19 hits in 18 games this season. Brindley could have an increased role in Tuesday's matchup if Martin Necas (illness) is unavailable.
