Samsonov will guard the road goal Thursday versus the Rangers, Mike Vogel of the Capitals' official site reports.
The Capitals have not played since last Thursday, when Samsonov stopped 30 of 33 shots in a win over the Flyers. He's appeared in seven straight games as Vitek Vanecek (upper body) remains out. Samsonov will need to be sharp against a dangerous Rangers top six and a power play that's converting at a 26.6 percent rate.
