Gavin Brindley - NHL News & Rumors | FOX Sports

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.

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.

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.
