Brindley was recalled from AHL Colorado on Friday.
While the decision to bring Brindley up from the minors could be a precautionary move ahead of a two-game road trip, it could also be an indication that Nathan MacKinnon (lower body) won't be an option versus the Canadiens on Saturday. For his part, Brindley will likely only see the ice if MacKinnon or another forward is ruled out; otherwise, Brindley will sit in the press box as a healthy scratch.
