Samsonov led the Maple Leafs onto the ice for warmups for Game 1.

Samsonov had a rocky start to the season but finished the season well, going 9-2-2 with a .905 SV% in his final 13 games. During last year's postseason, Samsonov was 4-4 with a 3.13 GAA and .898 SV%. With Joseph Woll not playing particularly well since returning from injury (.890 SV% in 10 games), the Maple Leafs need to be able to rely on Samsonov in Round 1.

Samsonov will start on Saturday vs. Buffalo.

Samsonov hurt his calf muscle last Saturday and has not dressed for any of the Maple Leafs games this week but will start on Saturday in Buffalo. The 27-year-old has endured a very up-and-down season which included an earlier stint in the minors, but still holds an impressive 19-6-7 record despite his mediocre 3.12 GAA and .889 SV%. He will head to Buffalo to take on the Sabres, who have lost three of their last four games and are coming off an ugly 6-2 defeat at the hands of the Ottawa Senators last game.

Samsonov claims he is ready to return on Thursday after bruising his calf on Saturday.

Samsonov was unable to finish Saturday's game vs. Edmonton and did not dress on Tuesday after bruising his calf in a victory over the Oilers. The 27-year-old has stated he is good to go on Thursday when Toronto takes on Washington. He has endured the definition of an up-and-down season in 2023-24, with his 19-6-7 record, 3.12 GAA and .889 SV%.

Samsonov (lower body) will sit on Tuesday and is expected to return to Toronto's practice on Wednesday.

Samsonov exited Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers in the third period due to a lower-body injury, which does not appear to be a long-term injury. Joseph Woll will start for the Maple Leafs on Tuesday with Martin Jones serving as the back up.

The Maple Leafs will turn to Samsonov for the fourth straight outing on Tuesday.

The Maple Leafs enter action as -129 road favourites against the Philadelphia Flyers.
