Overview
- Stevenson started and earned a 3-2 road win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday, stopping 30 of 32 shots and finishing with a .938 save percentage.
- He denied both Penguins power-play chances and closed the game by saving the final five shots, a performance coaches called poised and timely.
- The Jets claimed Stevenson off waivers from Washington late in training camp to provide an NHL-ready backup without disrupting AHL development plans.
- Stevenson had five prior NHL appearances with the Capitals and arrives after serving as a primary AHL starter, making this his first win in a Jets uniform.
- Winnipeg’s Stuart Skinner–Clay Stevenson tandem has produced a 2-0-1 start and five points, leaving Skinner likely to carry most minutes while the club monitors Hellebuyck’s status and overall roster construction.
