The Toronto Maple Leafs have not made any formal announcement, but Ilya Samsonov is clearly the team’s number-one goaltender.
With Matt Murray’s stats declining as the season moves along and him suffering yet another injury, the Toronto Maple Leafs number one goaltending job is no longer up for debate.
Matt Murray entered this season looking for a fresh start. After one game, he suffered an adductor injury and missed a month of action.
Now he appears to be dealing with an ankle injury. According to Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe, Murray has been nursing a minor ankle ailment for a while now, and this recent injury is a flare-up of that.
