Ilya Samsonov Back In The Crease Wednesday
10 months agoToronto Maple Leafs goaltender Ilya Samsonov will be back between the pipes when his team takes on the visiting Dallas Stars on Wednesday. The Russian puck-stopper has been excellent since being sent to the American Hockey League for a mental break and to regain his form. Samsonov has posted a stellar .942 save percentage over his last four games, going 3-1-0 in that time. It's been a difficult season overall as he sports a 3.35 goals-against average and an .879 Sv% across 20 outings but he has been brilliant of late. The Maple Leafs have slipped into a Wild Card spot following Monday's loss to the New York Islanders while the Tampa Bay Lightning have taken over the third spot in the Atlantic Division thanks to three straight wins.
