In breaking news, Sheldon Keefe has made his decision on Ilya Samsonov and whether or not he will get to return to the Leafs net for tonight's game against the Avalanche.

Samsonov Set to Back Up Jones Tonight Against Avalanche

With Ilya Samsonov being recalled from the minors earlier this week, and Dennis Hildeby being sent back to get some time with the Marlies, there was speculation as to whether or not Samsonov would return to the Leafs net against the Avalanche.
Now, it appears Sheldon Keefe has made his decision, and will keep Samsonov out, barring any unforeseen circumstances. Here were the Leafs' lines at morning practice.

Clearly, Sheldon Keefe is choosing to continue to ride Martin Jones as he continues to perform for the Leafs. We will see if that streak of success can continue, or if Keefe will be forced to play Samsonov.
