Your savory breakfast links:

  • 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.
