Ilya Samsonov sends a warning to Linus Ullmark ahead of big matchup
The anticipation is building for the clash between former Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Ilya Samsonov and Linus Ullmark of the Ottawa Senators.
This matchup, slated for November 21st, pits Ilya Samsonov against Linus Ullmark in what promises to be an electrifying game between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Senators.
With the NHL offseason seeing several goaltenders switch teams, this game is set to highlight two key players in new environments. Ilya Samsonov, who recently signed a one-year, $1.8 million contract with the Vegas Golden Knights, is looking to prove himself after a challenging end to his tenure with the Leafs. Meanwhile, Linus Ullmark, who joins the Ottawa Senators after four seasons with the Boston Bruins, is preparing to lead his new team.
In the previous Stanley Cup playoffs, Samsonov's Leafs faced a heart-wrenching defeat to the Bruins in a seven-game series. Although Ullmark only appeared in one playoff game, the rivalry between the two goalies seems to be intensifying.
Samsonov recently took to Instagram to make his intentions clear, posting a comment about their upcoming game in response to Ullmark's ranking as the 10th best goalie in the NHL.
