Getting a look Wednesday Vanecek will play the third period of Wednesday's exhibition against the Hurricanes, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Braden Holtby will play the first two periods, but the Capitals need to decide which of Vanecek or Pheonix Copley will serve as the backup once postseason play gets underway in August. The 24-year-old Vanecek posted a 2.26 GAA and .917 save percentage behind a 19-10-1 record in 31 starts with AHL Hershey during the 2019-20 regular season but has yet to play in a meaningful NHL game since being taken 39th overall in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.

Summoned for Phase 3 Vanecek was added to the Phase 3 training camp roster Sunday.

Impact Vanecek had a solid sophomore campaign with AHL Hershey, posting a 2.26 GAA and .917 save percentage behind a 19-10-1 record in 31 starts while splitting time with Pheonix Copley. The 24-year-old netminder isn't likely to get postseason action with Braden Holtby, Ilya Samsonov and the aforementioned Copley ahead of him on the depth chart, but he owns the quickness and technical skills to compete for a job in the NHL in the near future.
