Many believed Samsonov would make his return to NHL action tonight, but it looks like he'll need to wait a bit more before having the change to regain the trust of his teammates and fans.
Martin Jones, who's been a surprise this season in Toronto, will have another start. If he continues to perform well, he could force the organization's hand ahead of the team deadline.
