4 years agoWashington Capitals goaltender Ilya Samsonov will record his 13th start of the season in Thursday's battle with the Bruins. The Russian netminder will enter the contest with a 9-2-1 record. Samsonov has racked up wins regularly, but his 2.87 goals-against average and .896 save percentage have a lot of room for improvement. The 24-year-old recently posted his first shutout of the season, and he's 7-2-0 in his last nine starts, so Samsonov looks ready to frustrate Boston at the Capital One Arena.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
