Sheldon Keefe Provides Very Crucial Update On Ilya Samsonov After Injury
Toronto Maple Leafs starting goalie Ilya Samsonov had to exit the game against the Edmonton Oilers due to a concerning injury. The incident occurred with the Leafs leading 5-2, shortly after the Oilers narrowed the gap to 5-3 and with just over three minutes remaining on the clock.
Samsonov seemed to sustain a lower-body injury in an effort to make a save, prompting his departure from the ice.
