Clay Stevenson News

The Jets finally traded Connor Hellebuyck last week after his highly publicized trade request and subsequent team suspension, with goalie Nico Daws returning from New Jersey as one of the pieces. That said, at least for now, the Jets will stick with their original goalie tandem of Stuart Skinner and Clay Stevenson, turning to Stevenson on Tuesday against the Florida Panthers. The 27-year-old Stevenson has been serviceable, albeit unspectacular this season, posting a 3.08 GAA and .893 SV% in three games (1-2-0). A strong performance from Stevenson on Tuesday will go a long way toward helping him secure playing time going forward. The Jets enter the action as +113 home underdogs.

Stuart Skinner has been excellent early in the 2026-27 season for the Winnipeg Jets, but is coming off his worst performance in a 4-3 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday. The Jets hope to rebound on Saturday, turning to Stevenson to tend the twine against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 27-year-old Stevenson has a 3.10 GAA and .872 SV% in two games (1-1-0).

With Connor Hellebuyck (suspended) away from the team after his highly publicized trade request, the Jets' goaltending faced serious concern. That said, newcomers Stuart Skinner and Clay Stevenson have held down the fort, allowing only 10 combined goals through four games (3-0-1). Stevenson was excellent in his debut last week, saving 29 of 31 shots (.935 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 27-year-old goalie has only played six career NHL games, but hopes to have a bigger role in 2026-27. The Jets enter Thursday's contest as -112 home favourites against the Anaheim Ducks, who are coming off a 5-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers.

With Connor Hellebuyck (suspended) away from the team after his highly publicized trade request, the Jets needed reinforcements in goal. As such, they claimed Stevenson off waivers last week from the Washington Capitals. The 27-year-old Stevenson is an undrafted goalie who hasn't seen much NHL action, but was terrific in the AHL last season, posting a 2.62 GAA and .912 SV% in 37 games (18-13-3) with the Hershey Bears. In five career NHL games (3-2-0) over the past two seasons, he has a 2.60 GAA and .906 SV%. The Jets enter Monday's contest as +157 road underdogs against a Pittsburgh Penguins team that has outscored its opposition 13-5 through two games this season (2-0-0).

Stevenson was excellent for Washington in their final game of the season, saving 27 of 28 shots (.964 SV%) in a 2-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. That said, the 27-year-old goalie will return to the Hershey Bears (AHL) to assist them on their playoff run.

With Washington officially eliminated from the playoffs last night, the team will enter their final game of the season with Stevenson tending the twine. The 27-year-old Stevenson has spent most of the 2025-26 season in the AHL, but has been serviceable in limited action with the Capitals, posting a 2.33 GAA and .904 SV% in three games (2-1-0). The Capitals enter Tuesday's contest as +134 road underdogs against a Columbus Blue Jackets team that has lost eight of its last 10 games (2-7-1).

Logan Thompson (upper body) is hopeful to return on Thursday, but with him and Charlie Lindgren (lower body) still sidelined, the Capitals will turn to Stevenson on consecutive nights. The 26-year-old Stevenson was terrific last night in his second start of the season, saving 29 of 30 shots (.967 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the New York Islanders. The Capitals enter Tuesday's contest as +121 road underdogs against a reeling Philadelphia Flyers team that has just two wins in their last 10 games (2-6-2).

Logan Thompson (upper body) was back at practice on Monday, but has been ruled out of the team's next two games, targeting a return to the crease on Thursday. As such, third-string goalie Clay Stevenson will return to the crease on Monday against the New York Islanders. The 26-year-old Stevenson made his season debut on Saturday, his second-career NHL appearance, saving 19 of 22 shots (.864 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime win over the Carolina Hurricanes. The Capitals enter Monday's contest as -131 home favourites against an Islanders team whose three-game winning streak was snapped in a 4-3 loss to the Nashville Predators on Saturday.

It's unclear if Logan Thompson is injured, but he was not at Washington's morning skate on Thursday, resulting in the team recalling Stevenson from Hershey (AHL). The 26-year-old Stevenson has a 2.57 GAA and .912 SV% in 24 games (11-8-3) with Hershey (AHL) this season.

With Charlie Lindgren on Injured Reserve, Stevenson served as Logan Thompson's back up on Sunday, but he has been reassigned to the AHL, with Garin Bjorklund being recalled in a corresponding move. The 26-year-old Stevenson made his NHL debut last season, playing three games with Washington. He has a 2.54 GAA and .913 SV% in 11 games this season (7-4-0) with the Hershey Bears (AHL).

Stevenson made his NHL debut during the regular season, posting a 5.00 GAA and .868 SV% in one game (0-1-0). The undrafted 26-year-old goalie spent most of the 2024-25 campaign in the AHL, posting a 2.94 GAA and .888 SV%.

Stevenson will make his NHL debut on Thursday in Washington's season-finale against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Stevenson is an undrafted netminder who has spent most of the previous three seasons playing for the Hershey Bears (AHL). The 26-year-old Stevenson has a 2.94 GAA and .888 SV% in 33 games with Hershey this season (18-8-4). Washington enters Thursday's contest as -108 road favorites against Pittsburgh.
