Cheers for Auston Matthews, fears for Ilya Samsonov in Leafs’ win over Bruins
Here comes Auston Matthews. But there goes Ilya Samsonov. Over to you, Erik Källgren.to a 2-1 win over the Boston Bruins at Scotiabank Arena in arguably the most complete game played by the blue and white this season. The Leafs won their second in a row, tempering criticism that had surrounded the team.
“He’s really steady in there. All of us have a lot of confidence in him to go out there and win some games for us.” Källgren went 8-4-1 last year, filling when Petr Mrázek and Jack Campbell were injured or slumping. Källgren had lost his first three games this season. But he stopped all six shots in the third period — the Leafs tried to block everything and killed two penalties.
Matthews had been saying as recently as 10 days ago, when he had just one goal to his credit, that once he scored one the floodgates would open. He appears to have been right. He has scored in three games in a row and in four of his last five. Boston’s Brad Marchand had tied the game on a penalty shot, deking Samsonov. Samsonov fell back awkwardly and would later talk to the trainers, and Källgren, about coming out.
