Samsonov will defend the blue paint during Thursday's home game versus Boston, Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic reports.
Samsonov wasn't great in his last start Sunday against the Devils, surrendering four goals on 39 shots, but he was still able to secure his ninth win of the season thanks to strong goal support from his teammates. He'll try to earn a second straight victory in a home matchup with a Bruins team that's only averaged 2.39 goals per game on the road this year, 24th in the NHL.
