The Toronto Maple Leafs have recalled goaltender Ilya Samsonov from their AHL affiliate, the Toronto Marlies, 10 days after he cleared waivers and was assigned there. Leafs' Treliving commented on Samsonov's progress, stating, "Ilya has had a good week ... We're going to huddle here later this afternoon to map out the next piece of that, but (the process) has been really good." Concurrently, goaltender Dennis Hildeby has been loaned to the Marlies. The Leafs are continuing the evaluation process for Samsonov to gauge his readiness after a mental and physical reset. Coach Sheldon Keefe said, "Today was a chance for us to get him in here, get him back into practice with us. It's equally, if not more, about Hildeby." Hildeby is scheduled to practice with the Marlies and play on Friday, after which Keefe mentioned, "We'll reassess after Friday."
