Samsonov recorded a 23-save shutout in AHL San Jose's 1-0 win over Bakersfield on Saturday.

This was Samsonov's first shutout and second win over three games this season. He's allowed six goals on 72 shots so far. He provides the Sharks with extra veteran experience in goal, but he likely won't see NHL time unless something sidelines Yaroslav Askarov or Alex Nedeljkovic.
