When your goals against average is above 3 and your save percentage is below 90, there is an issue there. Since Samsonov, the Maple Leafs have moved on to goalies like Anthony Stolarz, Joseph Woll, and even Dennis Hildeby. However, Samsonov has remained in the NHL. In fact, this season, he gets to play with the Las Vegas Golden Knights.

Last night, he made his Golden Knights debut and was able to secure an impressive win against the Anaheim Ducks. It was a win where Samsonov allowed just one goal on a total of 22 shots. After the game, Samsonov made some comments that would lead you to believe he is glad to be out of Toronto.
