Samsonov will likely return to the crease for the second straight contest after missing several games with a minor injury. The 27-year-old Samsonov was brilliant in his return, saving all 34 shots he faced for his third shutout of the season in a 3-0 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday. The Maple Leafs enter action as +116 road underdogs on Monday against the Florida Panthers.

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 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 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. Samsonov's four-game winning streak ended on Saturday in a 5-4 shootout loss to the Carolina Hurricanes when he allowed four goals on 40 shots (.900 SV%), only the second time he has allowed more than three goals in his last 11 games. The Maple Leafs enter action as -129 road favourites against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Samsonov did not play in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Boston Bruins but will return to the crease on Wednesday night. The 27-year-old Samsonov has started three of the last five games for the Maple Leafs (2-1-0) and saved 32 of 35 shots (.914 SV%) in his last outing, a 4-3 victory over the New York Rangers. The Maple Leafs enter action on Wednesday as -175 home favourites against a Buffalo Sabres club that annihilated them 9-3 on December 21st.

Samsonov will start for the third straight game on Saturday in a matchup against the red-hot New York Rangers. The 27-year-old Samsonov is coming off his worst outing since rejoining the Maple Leafs from a conditioning stint with the Marlies (AHL) in mid-January, allowing five goals on 31 shots (.839 SV%) in a 6-2 loss against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Despite Joseph Woll returning to practice this week, the Maple Leafs will continue to go with their duo of Martin Jones and Ilya Samsonov for at least one more game on Tuesday. The 27-year-old Samsonov will start his second-straight game and look to extend Toronto's current seven-game winning streak. He'll face the Vegas Golden Knights in Toronto on Tuesday, who are going in the opposite direction with loses in three straight and five of their last six games.

Samsonov will start for the second straight game and attempt to extend his winning streak to five games on Wednesday night. Samsonov was solid in his last outing, saving 19 of 21 shots (.905 SV%) in a 4-2 win over the St. Louis Blues. The Maple Leafs have done a stellar job of protecting their netminder lately, as Samsonov has managed to record two of his last three victories while saving fewer than 20 shots.
