Ilya Samsonov recently spoke about his struggles and shared his thoughts about being waved.
"I feel really positive," he stressed. "I stay positive all the time."
"Brain is ready," he insisted. "I see the puck well. This most important for me. Simple details, that's it, that's what my concentration is right now."
Samsonov has not played since allowing six goals on 21 shots in an overtime loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Dec. 29. His .864 save percentage ranks 63rd out of 64 goalies who have played at least 10 games.
