3 years agoWashington Capitals goaltender Ilya Samsonov will pick up his second start of the season in Monday's matchup versus Ottawa. The 24-year-old beat the Avalanche 6-3 with 24 saves in his first start of the campaign. Samsonov also featured in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Calgary after Vitek Vanecek was chased with three first-period goals. The Russian netminder boasts a 2.34 goals-against average for the season with a .902 save percentage. The Capitals have won 15 of the last 17 meetings between the two sides, so Samsonov looks very strongly placed to get a win.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
