Ilya Samsonov Wins In Return To Net
4 years agoWashington Capitals goaltender Ilya Samsonov recorded his second victory of the campaign as his team battled out a 3-2 win over the New Jersey Devils on Sunday afternoon. The 24-year-old, who was starting his first NHL game in over a month after being out due to Covid, wasn't overly tested in this one but still managed to stop 19 of 21 shots fired his way. Samsonov is a serious candidate to take back his starting job from fellow netminder Vitek Vanecek should he continue to play well. He'll carry a 2.92 goals-against average and a .878 save percentage into next week's fantasy matchup.
