It will be a psychological and physical reboot. We will try to use all our resources to help him return to his previous level,” the Sportsnet official quotes.

It was previously reported that Samsonov would not practice or play for the Toronto Marlies. He will train at the AHL club’s training center under the guidance of a goalie coach.
