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

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.
EDGE Analysis
Stevenson has started each of the Capitals' last three games due to the absences of Logan Thompson (upper body) and Charlie Lindgren (lower body). Stevenson stopped 48 of 52 shots in his previous two starts, so he was due to return to earth sooner than later. If Thompson can't play in Thursday's home matchup against Nashville, Stevenson could make another start.

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

Stevenson made 29 saves on 30 shots in a 4-1 win over the Islanders on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
It was his second consecutive start and win while filling in for Logan Thompson (upper body) and Charlie Lindgren (lower body). Stevenson was great -- he made several sharp saves, including a 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.

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

Stevenson turned aside 19 of 22 shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
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 the Capitals' 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 due to the absence of Logan Thompson (upper body) and Charlie Lindgren (lower body). 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.

Stevenson is set to start at home against Carolina on Saturday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
EDGE Analysis
Stevenson is making his NHL season debut due to the absences of Logan Thompson (upper body) and Charlie Lindgren (lower body). The 26-year-old Stevenson has a 2.57 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 24 AHL outings in 2025-26. Carolina has won five of its past six games while averaging 4.50 goals per game over that stretch.

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.
