Samsonov gets the start after Matt Murray left Saturdays practice early leaving the Maple Leaf's with only one goalie between on their active roster. The 25-year-old enjoyed a successful debut for Toronto Thursday, comfortably stopping 24 of 26 shots on way to a 3-2 victory over Washington. He will likely be the Leaf's workhorse if Murray’s injury turns out to be worse than originally expected.

He will likely be the Leaf's workhorse if Murray’s injury turns out to be worse than originally expected.
Samsonov will get his first start as a member of the Maple Leafs a night after they dropped a 4-3 battle to the Canadiens in Montreal. The 25-year-old joins Toronto after three up-and-down seasons in Washington where he collected 52 Wins and a .902 SV% throughout 79 Games started. He will look to solidify the Maple Leaf's crease after Matt Murray gave up four goals on 23 shots the night prior.
