Russian goalkeeperToronto Maple Leafs » Ilya Samsonov called the NHL regular season game against “New York Rangers ”, which includes his fellow goalkeeper Igor Shesterkin .
On Wednesday, Toronto beat the Rangers 3-2 in overtime. Samsonov stopped 27 shots and was recognized as the game’s second star.
— It was a good game, a good battle with Shesterkin. The matches against Shesterkin, Ilya Sorokin (Islanders) and Connor Helleback (Winnipeg) are little more than regular games. They are three good goalkeepers. I’m glad we won. It was a tough match. Mitch (Mitchell Marner, author of the winning goal – editor’s note) did a great job in overtime, so it’s good, – quotes the official website of Samsonov of the NHL.
This season, 25-year-old Samsonov has played 22 games in which he has won 16 wins with 92.1% shots reflected.
