In breaking news, Sheldon Keefe has just made a shocking announcement on who will start in goal tonight for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Keefe Announces That Samsonov Will Return In Goal Tonight
Since Ilya Samsonov was placed on waivers, it was widely speculated whether or not he would return for the Toronto Maple Leafs this season. With Joseph Woll playing well prior to injury, and then Martin Jones stepping up to the task for the Leafs, it looked like Samsonov might not find his spot back in the lineup.
Now, Sheldon Keefe has announced that he has. Samsonov is set to start tonight for the Leafs as they play the latter half of their back-to-back this weekend.
Update: G Ilya Samsonov is back and will make his first start tonight since getting placed on waivers.
Samsonov will look to prove himself to Leaf hopefuls tonight after a terrible start to the season that has yielded a 3.94 goals against average and a .862 save percentage.
