Ilya Samsonov Replaces Injured Starter Matt Murray
2 years agoToronto Maple Leafs goaltender Ilya Samsonov replaced Matt Murray (undisclosed) after he sustained an injury in Sunday's 5-2 loss against the Red Wings. Murray was involved in an accidental collision with Red Wings forward Lucas Raymond, which caused Murray to fall awkwardly to the ice. Samsonov entered the game in relief and stopped 14-of-16 shots on goal in the loss. Murray has been unlucky with injuries throughout the season, with the two-time Stanley Cup champion missing extended periods of time and being limited to 26 appearances. Samsonov has done a good job as the starter and he will take command in the crease with six games remaining in the regular season.
