Brindley scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Colorado's 4-3 shootout win over Abbotsford on Friday.
Brindley has his first big game of the season with this effort. He earned six points in nine AHL regular-season games last year, as well as 13 points over 56 outings for the Avalanche. Heading back to the AHL could be seen as a setback, but Brindley still has enough potential to work his way back to the big club at some point during the year.
