Hill Starting in Toronto

Samsonov Earns Sixth Straight Win
Ilya Samsonov made 26 saves in s 4-3 win over Colorado on Saturday. Remember all that talk about Samsonov being done? Since his return from a reset, he has gone 9-1-0 in 10 starts while winning six straight games. Samsonov still allows a few too many goals, and his .883 save percentage in 26 appearances (14-4-6) isn’t a desirable ratio for fantasy managers. Still, he puts up a lot of wins, which is valuable to the Leafs and in fantasy pools.
