In his last start, Hill shut out the Flames, and he has recorded a 2.75 goals-against average with a .899 save percentage in home games.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Ilya Samsonov is getting the start on Monday when the team hosts the Pittsburgh Penguins. It's the fourth start for Samsonov over the last five games as he has regained his grasp on the No. 1 starter's role from Joseph Woll with the latter largely struggling since returning from a high-ankle sprain on Feb. 29. A winner of his last four outings, Samsonov owns a 3.03 goals-against average and an .893 save percentage in 37 games on the season but is still 22-6-7. He has been far better of late, posting a 2.34 GAA and a .926 save percentage in eight March outings, going 6-1-1 in that time.

The overall numbers still don't look good after a disastrous start as the 27-year-old owns a 3.12 GAA and an .888 Sv% across 33 games, although he is still 18-6-7 thanks to a high-octane Maple Leafs offense.

Samsonov picked up his second victory over the Blues in less than a week to conclude the season series, while it was another low shot total from the opposition in the road contest.

Samsonov has struggled to find consistency in the early part of the season with a 3.79 goals against average and .870 save percentage, but fantasy managers should expect better results from the netminder who put together an impressive 2022-23 campaign in his first year with the Maple Leafs.

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Ilya Samsonov (upper body) won't be available Wednesday for Game 4 against Florida. He was injured Sunday against the Panthers, and whilst Samsonov is reportedly feeling better, he hasn't been able to practice. Toronto's playoff survival will hinge on Joseph Woll Wednesday. The 24-year-old will make his first career playoff start, with the team 3-0 down in the second-round series. Woll, who had a strong 6-1-0 record during the regular season, has made a couple of relief appearances in the playoffs, posting a 3.85 goals-against average with a .846 save percentage. He hasn't looked great, and a Panthers sweep in the series is looking like a real possibility Wednesday.

After entering the game early in the second frame, Woll allowed three goals on 21 shots in the overtime loss on the road.
