Samsonov will start Friday against Florida.
Samsonov has been fantastic this year, rolling to a 7-0-1 record with a 2.22 GAA and .920 save percentage. More recently, the Russian netminder is on a four-game winning streak while allowing just six goals on 113 shots in that span. The Panthers should present plenty of challenge, though, as they've averaged 3.70 goals for while going 6-2-2 in the month of November.
