Rosen has spent the last six weeks in the AHL and will draw back into the Sabres lineup on Monday against the Florida Panthers. The 22-year-old Rosen has seven points (3G / 4A) in 13 games with the Sabres this season. Konsta Helenius will be a healthy scratch to accommodate Rosen's return.
Logan Thompson (upper body) was back at practice on Monday, but has been ruled out of the team's next two games, targeting a return to the crease on Thursday. As such, third-string goalie Clay Stevenson will return to the crease on Monday against the New York Islanders. The 26-year-old Stevenson made his season debut on Saturday, his second-career NHL appearance, saving 19 of 22 shots (.864 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime win over the Carolina Hurricanes. The Capitals enter Monday's contest as -131 home favourites against an Islanders team whose three-game winning streak was snapped in a 4-3 loss to the Nashville Predators on Saturday.
Despite losing four of his last five (1-3-1), Hellebuyck has played better lately, posting a 2.40 GAA and .913 SV%. That said, he has not played up to the elite form that has become expected of the three-time Vezina Trophy winner, allowing three or more goals in nine of his last 12 games (4-5-3) while posting a subpar 3.09 GAA and .895 SV%. He will likely return to the crease on Saturday against a Florida Panthers team that he saved 19 of 20 shots (.950 SV%) against in a 2-1 shootout loss two weeks ago.
Hellebuyck saved 26 of 29 shots (.897 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 4-3 win over the New Jersey Devils, which, despite the victory, continued a trend of sub-900 SV% performances. The 32-year-old American goalie, a three-time Vezina Trophy winner, has allowed three or more goals in eight of his last 11 games (4-4-3). The Jets enter the action on Thursday as +162 road underdogs against one of the NHL's hottest teams, the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are 15-1-1 in their last 17 games.
It's unclear if Logan Thompson is injured, but he was not at Washington's morning skate on Thursday, resulting in the team recalling Stevenson from Hershey (AHL). The 26-year-old Stevenson has a 2.57 GAA and .912 SV% in 24 games (11-8-3) with Hershey (AHL) this season.
Thrun was recalled earlier this week for precautionary reasons, but did not draw into the lineup. He has spent most of the season with the Toronto Marlies, where he has 14 points (3G / 11A) in 28 games.
Hellebuyck allowed four goals on 30 shots (.867 SV%) in his previous outing, but has played better lately. The 32-year-old Hellebuyck has allowed two or fewer goals in three of his last five games (1-2-2), posting a 2.42 GAA and .917 SV%, following up a 10-game stretch (2-5-2), where he had allowed three or more goals eight times. The Jets enter Tuesday's contest as +112 road underdogs against the New Jersey Devils, who have won three of their last four games (3-1-0).
St. Ivany has been plagued with injuries this season, missing six weeks earlier in the campaign with a lower-body injury, and will now be out for up to eight weeks after undergoing hand surgery. The 26-year-old defenseman has seven points (0G / 7A) in 17 games this season.

Phillips played two games with the Jets earlier this season, but has spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL. The 24-year-old defenseman has 15 points (3G / 12A) in 35 games with Manitoba (AHL) this season.
Zhilkin appeared in four games during his call-up but was a healthy scratch for the last five games. He returns to the AHL, where has tallied seven goals and seven assists (14 points) in 30 games this season.
Phillips appeared in two games with the Jets during his call-up. He failed to record a point, while registering three SOG and two PIMS in 8:11 ATOI. He returns to the AHL, where he has 13 points (3G / 10A) in 33 games this season.
