Samsonov was able to finish the second period but didn't come out for the third. Backup goalie Erik Kallgren filled in admirably stopping all 7 shots he faced to secure the 2-1 win.
There was no update made available following the game. The 25 year old, has underwent tests to determine the severity of the injury.
It was a great sighting on Tuesday, seeing Samsonov back on the ice working with goalie coach Curtis Sanford. Samsonov will miss at least a week after being placed on IR, but thankfully it looks like he avoided a major injury.
Hopefully their will be a further update by head coach Sheldon Keefe after Tuesday's morning skate.
