Toronto Maple Leafs Facing a Goaltending Dilemma Next Season

When healthy, the Toronto Maple Leafs have a decent goaltending tandem with Matt Murray and Ilya Samsonov. The key phrase there is “when healthy”.

Matt Murray has missed two separate chunks of time this season due to injury. In Murray’s absence, Samsonov has become the Toronto Maple Leafs number-one goaltender.

He has a 23-8-2 record with three shutouts, a 2.41 GAA, and a .915 SV%. Murray has an 11-6-2 record with one shutout, a 2.80 GAA, and a .908 SV%. (Stats from hockey-reference.com).

The Leafs are fortunate to have Toronto Marlies goaltender Joseph Woll available when needed, but that is where the dilemma lies.
