In a rather shocking turn of events, the Toronto Maple Leafs will have to go back to goalie Ilya Samsonov in net for Saturday’s Game 7.
Word started to filter out in the early evening tat goalie Joseph Woll, who had given up just two goals in seven-plus periods to the Bruins, was banged up and would not play. The second goal he allowed with less than a second to Morgan Geekie appeared to be a meaningless tally in what turned out to be a 2-1 Toronto win in Game 6 at Scotiabank Arena.
Maybe it wasn’t so meaningless after all, if that is in fact where Woll got hurt.
Martin Jones was set to back up Samsonov, who was pulled in the B’s last win, a 3-1 victory in Game 4.
Meanwhle, Auston Matthews, who missed Games 5 and 6 with an illness/injury, took warmups.
On the Bruins’ side Danton Heinen did not come out for warmups, meaning he’ll miss his second game in a row.
