Stevenson was recalled from AHL Hershey on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The call-up was necessitated as Logan Thompson took a shot off his mask versus Seattle on Wednesday and is out with an upper-body injury. Stevenson is expected to back up Charlie Lindgren in Detroit on Thursday. Stevenson had an 11-8-3 record with a 2.57 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 24 AHL games before his recall.

Stevenson was assigned to AHL Hershey on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Stevenson has been recalled from AHL Hershey by the Capitals, the team announced Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
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 that Stevenson will get into a game if Lindgren's injury isn't long term.

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

Stevenson was placed on waivers by the Capitals on Sunday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
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 an .888 save percentage.

Stevenson is expected to start at home for Thursday's preseason game against the Flyers, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
EDGE Analysis
Stevenson had a 2.94 GAA and an .888 save percentage across 33 regular-season appearances with AHL Hershey in 2024-25. He's expected to start the upcoming season in the minors, while Logan Thompson and Charlie Lindgren are set to be Washington's starting and backup goaltenders, respectively.

Stevenson was reassigned to AHL Hershey on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Stevenson was recalled from AHL Hershey on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Stevenson was loaned to AHL Hershey on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Stevenson stopped 33 of 38 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
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.
