Maple Leafs Manage to Solve Their Goalie Problem Last Minute
The Toronto Maple Leafs are in a bit of a tough spot right now. In their last two games, they were forced to dress amateur tryouts due to injuries to their goalies, Matt Murray and Ilya Samsonov.
And it looked like they were going to have to do the same thing for their next game as well. However, in a last-minute move, Leafs' general manager Kyle Dubas found a way to solve the goalie problem.
Kyle Dubas Solved Leafs' Goalie Problem
This morning, it was reported that the Leafs were going to have two amateur tryouts dressed as backup goalies for their next game.
But a tweet from Chris Johnston changed everything.
"ATO Matt Onuska is one of four goalies now officially listed on the #leafs roster along with Joseph Woll, Ilya Samsonov and Matt Murray." This means that the Leafs will have four goalies on their roster, with Joseph Woll likely to start and Matt Onuska serving as backup.
Let's not forget that the main goal here is to let Samsonov get some rest before the playoffs.
