Ilya Samsonov Breaks the Silence on Injury Scare

During the second period of the game, Samsonov slid to make a save with his left pad. Immediately after sliding, it was evident that Samsonov was in pain.

Samsonov, however, was able to bounce back and finish most of the game.
He exited the game with a little over a minute left in the third, giving rookie goaltender Jett Alexander an opportunity he'd never forget.

Samsonov commented on the minor injury after the game.

The Maple Leafs would go on to defeat the Canadiens 7-1.
