During the 2014–15 season, on March 2, 2015, Martindale left AHL affiliate, the San Antonio Rampage was loaned to the Syracuse Crunch by the Florida Panthers. In return, Tampa Bay loaned Matt Corrente to the Rampage.[3]

On September 8, 2015, Martindale as a free agent agreed to attend the Tampa Bay Lightning's training camp for the 2015–16 season.[4] Having left the Lightning without a contract, Martindale belatedly signed a contract with the Florida Everblades of the ECHL on November 26 2015. He was loaned to AHL and Lightning affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch on three occasions, and was later signed to an AHL deal to remain with the Crunch on March 8, 2016.

As a free agent in the off-season, Martindale opted to pursue a European career, agreeing to a one-year deal with Danish club, Esbjerg Energy of the Metal Ligaen on July 22, 2016.[5]
