Leafs put more emphasis on avoiding letdowns against teams like the Columbus Blue Jackets
Generally speaking Murray has been good when healthy but has now missed long stretches of games, just as he did in recent seasons with Ottawa. Him being sidelined should not present as much a problem as feared in October because of the emergence of Samsonov.
“I feel so good,” Samsonov said Thursday. He spent the all-star pause in Miami Beach with his wife and fellow Russians Ilya Lyubushkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov and their wives and children. “I am ready for this. It is a good opportunity for me right now. I want to play every day.” “He is a guy we are really excited about,” Sheldon Keefe, the Maple Leafs coach, said of Woll. “The injury to Murray created an opportunity for him to come up here. He comes up at a time when he should have an abundance of confidence with how he has played. He has been tremendous.Keefe also has brought up Alex Steeves from the Marlies. The forward from Notre Dame was scheduled to play on the right wing on the fourth line Friday with Zach Aston-Reese and Pontus Holmberg.
“In regards to rentals, I can’t see that happening. With regards to other options, I don’t think you say no off the hop to anything.”
