It sounded as if the Capitals were set to waive Stephenson to clear a roster spot for Carl Hagelin to return to the lineup, but the Golden Knights stepped up. Cody Eakin is out week-to-week with an upper-body injury, so Stephenson is expected to replace him in the Vegas bottom-6. The 25-year-old hasn't done much offensively this season, posting three goals and one assist in 24 games with Washington.

Grubauer stopped 19 of 20 shots in Colorado's win over the Oilers on Wednesday. The win snapped a brief two-game losing skid for Grubauer, who has posted an .899 SV% in four games since returning from injury. Pavel Francouz faced 36 shots vs. the Blackhawks yesterday, so it could be a busy night for Grubauer on Saturday.
