CLAY STEVENSON NEWS

Returned to minors Stevenson was assigned to AHL Hershey on Monday.

Impact Washington brought up Garin Bjorklund from the minors in a corresponding move. Stevenson suited up as Logan Thompson's backup in Sunday's 2-0 win over Columbus. The 26-year-old Stevenson has a 7-4-0 record with a 2.54 GAA and a .913 save percentage over 11 AHL appearances this season.

Up with big club Stevenson has been recalled from AHL Hershey by the Capitals, the team announced Sunday.

Impact A busy day of roster moves saw the placement of Charlie Lindgren (upper body) on injured reserve and Stevenson called up to take his place on the roster. The 26-year-old has put up good numbers with AHL Hershey on the year, going 7-4-0 with a 2.54 GAA and a .913 save percentage. Logan Thompson is Washington's starter and is playing great, so with no back-to-back games being played in the next week, it seems unlikely he'll get into a game if Lindgren's injury isn't long term.

Secures overtime win in AHL Stevenson stopped 36 of 37 shots in AHL Hershey's 2-1 overtime win over Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Impact Stevenson has been a little better so far this season than he was last year, going 5-3-0 with a 2.49 GAA and a .909 save percentage over eight games for the Bears in 2025-26. It's still not at that level of his 2023-24 campaign. Stevenson is considered among the most NHL-ready goalies that aren't at that level already, so he'll be the next man up if Logan Thompson or Charlie Lindgren gets hurt.

Impact Stevenson had a 2.94 GAA and an .888 save percentage across 33 regular-season appearances with AHL Hershey in 2024-25.

Returns to minors Stevenson was reassigned to AHL Hershey on Friday.

Impact Stevenson was with the Capitals because Charlie Lindgren (personal) was questionable for Game 5 against Carolina on Thursday, but Lindgren ended up serving as the backup goaltender while Logan Thompson got the start. Washington lost that game 3-1 and was eliminated from the playoffs, so Stevenson will return to Hershey. The 26-year-old had a 2.94 GAA and an .888 save percentage across 33 regular-season outings with the minor-league squad.

Called up from minors Stevenson was recalled from AHL Hershey on Thursday.

Impact Stevenson's elevation to the NHL roster could be an indication that Logan Thompson or Charlie Lindgren is in danger of missing out against the Hurricanes in Game 5 on Thursday. The Bears aren't in action until Friday's clash with Charlotte, so there is still time for Stevenson to head back down if he's not needed by the Caps.

Sent to AHL Stevenson was loaned to AHL Hershey on Thursday.

Impact Stevenson had been with the NHL club since mid-April, and he started in the Capitals' regular-season finale in Pittsburgh, allowing five goals on 33 shots (.868 save percentage) en route to the loss. He didn't appear in the Capitals' first-round series in the playoffs and should have a chance to contribute for the Bears during the Calder Cup Playoffs.

Busy in NHL debut Stevenson stopped 33 of 38 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Stevenson made his NHL debut Thursday. He kept things fairly close through two periods, but the Penguins scored twice in a span of 15 seconds in the third to run away with the win. Stevenson's time in the NHL is likely to be limited -- he'll head back to AHL Hershey once Logan Thompson (upper body) is ready to return. Even if Thompson misses some playoff games, Charlie Lindgren is likely to get the starts over Stevenson.

Drawing start against Pittsburgh Stevenson will defend the road crease during Thursday's regular-season finale against Pittsburgh, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact The Capitals' playoff seeding is already secure heading into the final game of the regular season, so Stevenson will make his NHL debut against the Penguins. Over 33 appearances with AHL Hershey this year, he went 18-8-4 with a 2.94 GAA and .888 save percentage. Head coach Spencer Carbery said Thursday that Logan Thompson (upper body) continues to progress in his recovery, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Stevenson head back to the minors if Thompson is cleared to return for the start of the playoffs.

Joining NHL club Stevenson was recalled from AHL Hershey on Monday.

Impact Stevenson will trade places with Hunter Shepard, who was shipped down to the minors in a corresponding move. The 26-year-old Stevenson has never played in an NHL game, but could get a look over the Caps' last two games with the team having already wrapped up the best record in the Eastern Conference -- especially if Logan Thompson (upper body) remains on the shelf.
