Gavin Brindley C | COL
Avalanche's Gavin Brindley: Deemed week-to-week
Brindley (lower body) is week-to-week, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports Saturday.
There's no firm timeline for the 21-year-old forward's return, but he will be evaluated further in a few weeks. Tristen Nielsen and Jason Polin are likely to both be in the lineup at least for Saturday's game versus the Predators. The Avalanche have made a lot of adjustments to their depth forwards via roster moves this year, so numerous players from AHL Colorado could be in the mix to help cover Brindley's absence.
