Copley has been recalled from Ontario (AHL) to replace Cal Peterson, who was waived on Wednesday. Copley has enjoyed a strong season in the minors, with a 6-4-2 record, a 2.48 GAA and a .913 SV%. He will back-up Jonathan Quick on Thursday.
Copley appeared in relief in the Capitals final game before the All-Star break, stopping 21 of 22 shots in a loss to the Oilers. Copley started the game as Ilya Samsonov's backup because Vitek Vanecek was dealing with an injury. Being recalled post-All-Star break suggests that Vanecek still isn't 100 percent heading into Tuesday's game vs. Columbus.
With top prospect Ilya Samsonov ready to begin his NHL career, Copley was placed on waivers on Wednesday. After clearing, he was sent to Hershey for the first time since 2018, when he was 15-17-4 with a 2.91 GAA and .896 SV%.
