Samsonov will defend the road net versus Nashville on Tuesday, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.
Scouting Report
Has prospered in the won-loss column because he has received a lot of offensive support, which has counteracted his below-average save percentage. Has all the physical tools for NHL success, including size. Plays his angles well but has to be more consistent and do a better job of controlling his rebounds. He also needs some work on his stickhandling. Injuries are a factor here.
Long Range Potential: Talented, inconsistent goaltender.
