Ilya Samsonov Has Bounce Back Performance Against Canucks
1 year agoToronto Maple Leafs goaltender Ilya Samsonov got back on track as he stopped 31-of-33 shots on goal in Saturday's 5-2 victory against the Canucks. Samsonov had a performance to forget with four goals against in the first period of his most recent appearance against the Lightning, but the 26-year-old responded well and limited the Canucks to a pair of power-play goals, while making 22 even-strength saves throughout the contest. Samsonov has struggled to find consistency in the early part of the season with a 3.79 goals against average and .870 save percentage, but fantasy managers should expect better results from the netminder who put together an impressive 2022-23 campaign in his first year with the Maple Leafs.
