Samsonov stopped 26 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Flyers.
After allowing a goal 19 seconds into the game, Samsonov and the Maple Leafs were forced to play catch-up for the rest of the contest and could not overcome a 3-0 deficit. Samsonov stopped all five power-play shots he faced but as Toronto tried to mount a comeback in the third period, he allowed the fourth goal late in the frame. This was Samsonov's second loss in a row after a four-game winning streak. While his recent winning streak is enticing, Samsonov's high GAA (3.12) and shaky save percentage (.888) make him a bit of a gamble.
