Fleury has appeared in two games so far this season for the Lightning and has an assist, and a +1 plus/minus but has been reassigned to Syracuse (AHL) Thursday for a conditioning assignment. The 27-year-old returns to the AHL for the first time since 2018-19 when he was with Charlotte (AHL) so he should be back up with Tampa sooner rather than later.

Stevenson has been serving as Darcy Kuemper's backup, with Charlie Lindgren sidelined with an injury. Hunter Shepard will replace him in that role on Tuesday. Stevenson has gone 4-1-0 while allowing 10 goals on 119 shots (.916 SV%) in five career AHL games.

Thrun has two assists, one SOG, and a -1 plus/minus through two games with San Jose in 2023-24 but finds himself the odd man out on their roster as he was reassigned to the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) Wednesday. The 22-year-old will endure his first taste of AHL action after he made the jump to the NHL straight from Harvard (NCAA) in 2022-23.

Stevenson has been called up for the second time this season and will backup Darcy Kuemper Monday as the Capitals take on the Flames. The 24-year-old goaltender has appeared in two games this season for the Hershey Bears (AHL), with a 1-1-0 record, .900 SV% and a 2.01 GAA. He is replacing Charlie Lindgren, who left practice early Monday with an undisclosed injury.

Amidst the news that Darcy Kuemper may be absent from the Capitals matchup Friday vs. Pittsburgh due to the birth of his child, Clay Stevenson has been recalled from the Hershey Bears (AHL). The 24-year-old netminder was signed as an undrafted free-agent out of Dartmouth Collect (NCAA) ahead of the 2022-23 and has yet to make an NHL appearance. In his first season in the minor leagues he posted a 19-12-3 record with a .916 SV% and a 2.54 GAA for the South Carolina Stingrays (ECHL) in 2022-23. He is expected to backup Charlie Lindgren if Kuemper is unable to go.

Phillips was poised to make the Blackhawks for opening night but has been assigned to the Rockford IceHogs (AHL) for the start of the 2023-24 campaign. The 22-year-old was Chicago's 2020 fifth-round pick (141st overall) and had a goal, four assists, five PIMs, and a -10 plus/minus in a short 16-game showing in 2022-23. He returns to Rockford where he also had six goals and 23 assists in 51 games last season.

Duehr had 15 goals, 11 assists, 36 PIMs and a +5 plus/minus through 41 games with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL) and has been recalled to the Flames Tuesday. Duehr had previously played in eight games with the Flames when called up, and has two goals, 12 SOG and a -1 plus/minus through eight games this season.

Phillips has four goals, 16 assists, 36 PIMs and a +14 plus/minus through 33 games with the Rockford IceHogs (AHL) and has been recalled Wednesday to Chicago. Phillips is back with the Blackhawks, where he had a goal and three assists with a -7 plus/minus through 11 games.

The Flames do not play again until after the All-Star break, so they sent a trio of young players, including Duehr, back to the AHL.

Phillips had a goal, three assists, five PIMs and a -7 plus/minus through 11 games with the Blackhawks but will head back down to Rockford (AHL) Monday after he was reassigned there by Chicago. Phillips was successful in his previous stint in Rockford, with three goals, 14 assists and 32 PIMs in 25 games prior to earning his promotion.

Duehr has 10 goals with six assists (16 points) in 31 AHL games this season. The 25-year-old appeared in one NHL game last season and could make his season debut on Sunday with Brett Ritchie going on IR.

Kupari has been up with Los Angeles for most of the year so it was no surprise when he was recalled from Ontario (AHL) Tuesday. The 22-year-old has two goals, three assists, eight PIMs and is a +1 plus/minus in 21 games with the Kings this season during previous call-ups.

Kupari has two goals, three assists, 13 SOG, and eight PIMs through 18 games with the Kings and will head back to the big club from the Ontario Reign (AHL) Monday. In the minors he had five goals, nine points and 22 PIMs in 11 games prior to his promotion.

Phillips has been recalled from Rockford (AHL) as a replacement after Jarred Tinordi was placed on the injured reserve Monday (face). Phillips has been having a strong season in the AHL, with three goals, 17 points, 32 PIMs and a +17 plus/minus through 25 games played with Rockford.
