  • 128-80-12 4th Place
    • Thrust into service for Game 7
      Samsonov is expected to start on the road in Game 7 against Boston on Saturday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

      Advice: Samsonov has struggled in the first round, allowing 12 goals on 103 shots (.883 save percentage) over four outings, which led to him being pulled in favor of Joseph Woll during Game 4. Although Toronto still lost that contest 3-1, which gave Boston a 3-1 series lead, the 25-year-old Woll would start in Games 5 and 6, earning two straight wins while saving 49 of 51 shots. However, Woll is dealing with an injury, so the Leafs will have to put their hopes in Samsonov for the deciding tilt of the series. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
       
    • Secures series win
      Georgiev stopped 33 of 36 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.

      Advice: Georgiev allowed seven goals in a Game 1 loss, then gave up a total of eight goals over the next four contests to guide the Avalanche to the 4-1 series win. Any questions about his ability to step up in the playoffs have been put to rest now. Georgiev will remain the starter heading into the second round, and he'll get some extra rest while the Avalanche await the winner of the Stars-Golden Knights series.

    • In goal for Game 5
      Georgiev will guard the road goal in Game 5 versus the Jets on Tuesday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

      Advice: Georgiev has bounced back after losing Game 1, winning three straight contests to put the Avalanche on the brink of securing the first-round series. He's allowed just five goals on 81 shots during those three straight victories. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 6:15 pm
       
    • Third straight win
      Georgiev allowed one goal on 27 shots in Sunday's 5-1 Game 4 win over the Jets.

      Advice: Georgiev allowed a first-period goal on the fifth shot of the game but then kicked aside the next 22 shots to keep the Jets off the scoreboard. After a poor performance in Game 1, Georgiev has allowed only five goals on 77 shots for a .935 save percentage in the last three games. The Avalanche lead the series 3-1 and would move on to the second round with a Game 5 win Tuesday, when the series shifts back to Winnipeg. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:10 pm
       
    • Tending twine in Game 4
      Georgiev will protect the home net Sunday in Game 4 against Winnipeg, Kyle Fredrickson of The Denver Gazette reports.

      Advice: Georgiev has stopped 50 of 54 shots over the last two games, winning both following a disastrous showing in Game 1 versus the Jets in which he surrendered seven goals. With a victory in Sunday's contest, the Avalanche would take a 3-1 series lead back to Winnipeg for Game 5 on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:10 am
       
    • Pulled after two periods
      Samsonov allowed three goals on 17 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins in Game 4.

      Advice: Samsonov lasted two periods before head coach Sheldon Keefe turned to Joseph Woll for the third. Woll stopped all five shots he faced, though the Bruins didn't apply much pressure while protecting a lead. Samsonov has gone 1-3 with 12 goals allowed over four playoff contests so far, so it's fair to question how much longer he'll be the starter with the Maple Leafs entering must-win mode. Keefe declined to name a starting goalie for Tuesday's Game 5 in his postgame comments. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:39 pm
       
    • Between pipes Saturday
      Samsonov was the first goaltender off the ice at morning practice, per Mark Masters of TSN, indicating he will defend the home crease in Game 4 versus Boston on Saturday.

      Advice: It's a crucial game for the Maple Leafs as they trail the best-of-seven series 2-1. Samsonov has not been great in the first three contests of this postseason, giving up nine goals on 86 shots (.895 save percentage). If he has another weak showing in Game 4, Joseph Woll might get the nod for Tuesday's contest. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:39 am
       
    • Wins Game 3
      Georgiev stopped 22 of 24 shots in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.

      Advice: Georgiev appears to have gotten himself back on track, allowing just four goals on 54 shots over the past two games, both being Avalanche wins. He had a rough second period Friday, but the Avalanche's offense took over in the third. Now that he has consecutive wins for the first time in over a month, there should be less chatter of head coach Jared Bednar switching away from Georgiev going forward. Game 4 is Sunday in Colorado.

    • Gets starting nod Friday
      Georgiev will be between the pipes at home for Game 3 versus Winnipeg on Friday, Kyle Fredrickson of The Denver Gazette reports.

      Advice: Georgiev was downright bad in Game 1 on Sunday, giving up seven goals on 23 shots (.696 save percentage), but he bounced back in Game 2 to even up the best-of-seven series. With Justus Annunen (illness) ready to serve as the backup Friday, a bad performance in Game 3 could see Georgiev relegated to the No. 2 role going forward. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:24 am
