Samsonov Earns Seventh Win in Eight Starts
Ilya Samsonov stopped 19 of 21 shots in Monday’s 4-2 win over St. Louis. It wasn’t the busiest game for Samsonov, but the 26-year-old netminder was sharp when needed en route to his fourth straight win and seventh victory in his last eight outings. Samsonov improves to 12-4-6 despite a still-subpar .882 save percentage and 3.19 GAA through 24 games. His save percentage is .921 during the aforementioned eight-game span. He should continue to see the lion’s share of starts in Toronto until Joseph Woll (ankle) is able to return.
Keller Nets a Pair of Points in Loss
Clayton Keller scored a power-play goal on two shots and added an assist in Monday’s 6-3 loss to the Oilers. The Coyotes made a drastic shuffle to the lineup, and it led to a line of Keller, Logan Cooley and Dylan Guenther. Keller was the only one to find any success on the scoresheet Monday, but it wouldn’t be hard to imagine that trio comprising the Coyotes’ top unit in the near future. The two-point effort snapped a three-game slump for Keller, who now has 51 points, 163 shots on net and a minus-19 rating through 55 appearances this season.
