Samsonov made 34 saves Saturday in a 3-0 win over Buffalo.
Samsonov made 15 stops in the third period alone to preserve his third shutout of the season. "Sammy was fantastic," Toronto captain John Tavares said after the game. "No doubt he was our best player." Samsonov was impressive in his return to action after missing two games because of a calf injury. He has won his past two outings to improve to 20-6-7 this campaign.
