One of the players who went down first with a flu bug was Ilya Samsonov, who was sidelined last week. After his performance on Thursday night, it felt like he may still be sick. He allowed six goals on 35 shots and looked shaky all night.
The last game that comes to memory is their 4-3 overtime win against the Blue Jackets in August 2020 during the Covid playoffs. The Leafs were down 3-0 in the third period but rallied with three third-period goals, and then Auston Matthews scored the eventual winner in overtime, sending zero fans home happy.
