Samsonov frustrates Senators as Leafs win Battle of Ontario MORE:
UpdatedOTTAWA — With the Stanley Cup playoffs just over two weeks away, Ilya Samsonov’s 30-save shutout in a 3-0 win over the Ottawa Senators Saturday night will not only benefit the goaltender but also his Toronto Maple Leafs teammates.
Senators coach D.J. Smith didn’t go into detail, but said Sogaard would be unable to travel to Columbus with the team for Sunday’s game and someone would be recalled from the AHL affiliate in Belleville. Trailing 3-0 to start the third the Senators were trying to generate as many chances as possible and had their best chance with a power play midway through the period, but were unsuccessful.
“I think we worked really hard, created a lot of chances, but it’s just one of those night’s where everything we shoot hits the goalie,” said Ottawa’s Tim Stutzle. “He made some great saves and credit to him, but in the end I think a really, really good team effort by all the guys. We played hard the whole 60 minutes and didn’t give up. Unfortunate we couldn’t score.”
