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.

Postgame Comments

Samsonov commented on the minor injury after the game.

"'It's OK. I feel good. Just a little bit squeeze and feel like tight, but nothing crazy. You know, Sammy never break.'"

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