Murray to Seek Redemption Against Ottawa

As the Leafs took to the ice to practice this morning, Ilya Samsonov went through his normal starter's routine, indicating that he'll start tonight against the Carolina Hurricanes. This leaves Matt Murray as the presumptive starter against the Ottawa Senators, barring any last minute changes.
Murray is in his first season with Toronto after being traded by Ottawa this summer, and will likely start in his first game against Ottawa since being traded. This season's been full of ups and downs for the veteran goaltender, but you can be sure he'll look to redeem himself against his former team on Saturday night.
As for Samsonov, he'll appear in his second straight start tonight against Carolina, coming off of a shootout loss against Colorado on Wednesday. The Leafs have a huge chance to pick up potentially four points this weekend, a d boost their ranking in the standings.
