Lineup for game 7 against the Bruins confirmed
Tonight decides whether the Toronto Maple Leafs or the Boston Bruins will make it to the second round to face the Florida Panthers.
It is the ultimate key game, as the Maple Leafs look to break their streak of six consecutive game 7 losses, and the Boston Bruins attempt to avoid being the first time in NHL history to choke two consecutive 3-1 series leads.
Unfortunately for the Toronto Maple Leafs, the odds are against them, as star starting goaltender Joseph Woll may be unavailable to play, per several reports. While they are getting Auston Matthews back, Woll has been the undeniable MVP of the series thus far.
Hearing Woll is banged up. What a break for the Bruins if Samsonov is your Game 7 starter for the Toronto Maple Leafs
�
All three Toronto goalies -- Joseph Woll, Ilya Samsonov, Martin Jones -- arrived on the second bus.
But, yes, I do think it is possible Samsonov starts tonight.
We will see in warmup. With all of this in mind, the Toronto Maple Leafs have now announced, and Ilya Samsonov will be starting.
