Heading back to minors Stevenson was loaned to AHL Hershey on Wednesday.

Impact Stevenson drew the road start in Tuesday's regular-season finale against Columbus, and he turned aside 27 of 28 shots en route to a 2-1 victory. He should continue to see playing time in the AHL to close out the year now that Washington's regular season has concluded.

Tending twine Tuesday Stevenson will defend the road net against Columbus on Tuesday, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Stevenson has won two of his three NHL starts this season while allowing only seven goals on 73 shots. Columbus ranks 17th in the league this campaign with 3.02 goals per game.

Brought up from minors Stevenson was summoned from AHL Hershey on Sunday.

Impact In a corresponding move, Washington assigned Mitchell Gibson to the minors. Stevenson's recall doesn't bode well for Charlie Lindgren's (upper body) availability for Sunday's home matchup against Pittsburgh. After Logan Thompson played in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Penguins, Stevenson could be between the pipes for Sunday's rematch.

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

Impact Washington recalled Garin Bjorklund from the minors in a corresponding move. Stevenson has gone 11-8-3 with a 2.57 GAA and a .912 save percentage across 24 AHL appearances during the 2025-26 campaign. He also has a 2-1-0 record and has stopped 66 of 73 shots in three NHL outings this season. Stevenson may return to the Capitals after the Olympic break if Charlie Lindgren (lower body) remains unavailable.

Beaten three times Tuesday Stevenson stopped 18 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Flyers. The fourth goal was an empty-netter in the final seconds of the game.

Impact Stevenson has started each of the Capitals' last three games due to the absences of Logan Thompson (upper body) and Charlie Lindgren (lower body). He had stopped 48 of 52 shots faced in his previous two starts, so he was due to return to earth sooner rather than later. Still, Stevenson should continue to see starts for Washington as long as they remain depleted in terms of depth.

Starting again Tuesday Stevenson will defend the road net against Philadelphia on Tuesday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Stevenson will make his third straight start, and his second in two nights. He has won his previous two outings while stopping 48 of 52 shots, including a 29-save performance in Monday's 4-1 victory over the Islanders. Philadelphia ranks 21st in the league with 2.91 goals per game this season.

Second straight win Stevenson made 29 saves in a 4-1 win over the Islanders on Monday.

Impact It was his second consecutive start and win while filling in for Logan Thompson and Charlie Lindgren, both of whom are out with injuries. Stevenson was great -- he made several sharp saves, including sprawling pad save in the third while shorthanded that preserved a 2-1 lead. And his mates were outstanding, blocking 23 shots. Stevenson will remain in the blue paint until Lindgren and Thompson are back from the IR.

Drawing start against Islanders Stevenson will defend the home crease against the Islanders on Monday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Stevenson made his first start of the season for the Capitals at home against Carolina on Saturday, turning aside 19 of 22 shots (.864 save percentage) in a 4-3 overtime victory, marking his first win at the NHL level. He'll have a more favorable matchup against the Islanders, who are scoring 2.84 goals per game this year, which is the ninth-worst mark in the league.

Hangs on for first NHL win Stevenson turned aside 19 of 22 shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Stevenson's first outing began on the wrong foot, as he allowed three consecutive goals inside the opening 24 minutes. From that point, he helped turn the game around as Washington's offense came to life to steal the win from their division rival. The 26-year-old netminder was called into action for the first time this season with Logan Thompson (upper body) and Charlie Lindgren (lower body) sidelined with respective injuries. Saturday's win was the first of Stevenson's career after losing his only other NHL start a season ago. His fantasy value will depend on Thompson's availability, as the Capitals' starting netminder is listed as day-to-day. With Lindgren's move to injured reserve, Stevenson could make a couple of appearances before the break for the 2026 Winter Olympics. If Thompson can't go for Washington's home clash with the Islanders on Monday, Stevenson will likely get the nod.

Set to face Carolina Stevenson is set to start at home against Carolina on Saturday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

Impact Stevenson is making his NHL season debut. The 26-year-old has a 2.57 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 24 outings in 2025-26. Carolina has won five of its past six games while averaging 4.50 goals per game over that stretch.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact The Capitals have not announced whether Logan Thompson or Charlie Lindgren are hurting or ailing, but Stevenson is expected to be the backup Thursday in Detroit. Stevenson had an 11-8-3 record with a 2.57 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 24 AHL games before his recall.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on waivers Stevenson was placed on waivers by the Capitals on Sunday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact Stevenson made just one regular-season appearance in the NHL last year, and he'll head to AHL Hershey ahead of the 2025-26 campaign if he clears waivers. He made 33 regular-season outings with the Bears last year and went 18-8-4 with a 2.94 GAA and .888 save percentage.
