Leafs down another goaltender as Samsonov leaves game and won't return (video)

More bad news for the Toronto Maple Leafs on the goaltending front. After losing offseason acquisition Matt Murray in October, Ilya Samsonov left Saturday's game against the Boston Bruins with what the team is calling a knee injury. There's no word on exactly what happened, but there's speculation was on a penalty shot by Brad Marchand that beat Samsonov and sent the netminder falling backwards.

While we won't know for sure for at least a day or two, if Samsonov misses any time at all, it leaves Toronto with Erik Kallgren between the pipes and not much else other than two guys in the minors that few have heard of. I'd imagine management is pretty tense as they await official word on Samsonov.
