Ilya Samsonov Leaves Game With Scary Injury

After his time on waivers for the AHL, this could be the worst-case scenario for his chance at redemption. Given how bad the injury seems by everyone's reaction, it could mean a longer recovery time. For the remainder of the game, Samsonov had to be replaced by Martin Jones.

Despite how this looked to most of us, his head coach seemed to think he was fine. Though he did not add, we can deduce that pulling him was more precautionary than anything.

Not to be discouraged, the game ended with the Maple Leafs victorious 6-3. Yet, the team and fans were quick to focus more of their attention on the player's health and recovery and less on their success.

Stay tuned as more updates are made.
