"The Caps returned Clay Stevenson to Hershey and recalled Garin Bjorklund from the Bears to serve as Logan Thompson's backup in Charlie Lindgren's absence. [Caps] If you're curious why, Tom Gulitti's got a little more context: Guessing this is to limit the number of days Stevenson is on the NHL roster. If he plays 10 games or is on the NHL roster for a total of 30 days (even if over multiple stints), he would have to clear waivers again.[image or embed]- Tom Gulitti ( @tomgulittinhl.bsky.social) December 8, 2025 at 1:08 PM"
"A few leftovers from Sunday night's win over the Jackets. [Rink, RMNB] If you missed the dancing and singing after Sunday's game, the boys were given yesterday and today off...so slow news day until the hit the ice tomorrow after some well-deserved rest!"
Washington made a goaltender roster change by returning Clay Stevenson to Hershey and recalling Garin Bjorklund from the Bears to serve as Logan Thompson's backup in Charlie Lindgren's absence. The move appears intended to limit Stevenson’s NHL roster days to avoid triggering waiver exposure if he reaches 10 games played or 30 roster days. Tom Gulitti explained the waiver thresholds and the strategy to manage them. The team celebrated Sunday’s win with dancing and singing, earning players two days off. The Capitals will resume skating tomorrow after the rest, leaving limited short-term roster news.
