Samsonov was the first goaltender off the ice at morning practice, per Mark Masters of TSN, indicating he will defend the home crease in Game 4 versus Boston on Saturday.
It's a crucial game for the Maple Leafs as they trail the best-of-seven series 2-1. Samsonov has not been great in the first three contests of this postseason, giving up nine goals on 86 shots (.895 save percentage). If he has another weak showing in Game 4, Joseph Woll might get the nod for Tuesday's contest.
