The Maple Leafs' goaltender situation has forced Kyle Dubas to use emergency measures. With the injuries of Murray and Samsonov, we've seen three ATOs (Amateur tryouts) in the lineup for the last three games.

It looks like we'll see another one tonight, as Samuel Richard has signed a contract with the team.

Leafs Will Dress Another ATO Tonight

Joseph Woll will return between the pipes tonight for the second consecutive game. He'll be backed up by Samuel Richard, who played with the University of New-Brunswick this season.

The 22-year-old had a great year, tallying a 18-4-0 record , a1.59 GAA and a .933 save %.

There's a lot at stake tonight!

As we reported earlier, the results of the game will have a big impact.

Richard shouldn't see any action tonight, unless Woll gets injured.

The Leafs are playing their last game of the season tonight at the Madison Square Garden against the Rangers.

We can expect many announcements from the team as to who will be healthy-scratched.
