Samsonov Doesn’t Dress on Sunday
Ilya Samsonov (undisclosed) is “certainly not at 100 percent” and was not available Sunday against Carolina, David Alter of The Hockey News reports. Samsonov was injured Saturday against Edmonton and seemingly avoided a serious injury, but the team will give him at least one game off to see how his recovery progresses. Toronto’s next game will be Tuesday against the Devils. Martin Jones will back up Joseph Woll on Sunday.
