Gavin Brindley is on fire.
The 34th overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft added two goals and an assist to his stat line in Team USA's 11-3 win over Switzerland on Thursday at the 2024 World Juniors. With Canada and Finland idle, Brindley was the only Blue Jackets prospect in action on the third day of the tournament.
