Ilya Samsonov - Hits waiversSamsonov was placed on waivers Sunday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
ImpactSamsonov has struggled mightily this season, posting a 3.94 GAA and an .862 save percentage despite having a 5-2-6 record. He has allowed four goals or more in eight of his 15 appearances. If Samsonov goes unclaimed, he could be ticketed for AHL Toronto. The Maple Leafs may bring up Dennis Hildeby, who has played well at the minor-league level this campaign, to replace Samsonov on the roster.

Tony DeAngelo - Benched againDeAngelo sat out Saturday's 3-2 win over the Maple Leafs as a healthy scratch.
ImpactDeAngelo has frequently been absent from the Canes' lineup lately, having watched from the press box for 16 of the last 20 games. DeAngelo has proven to be a liability in his own end on most nights, and given the team's stacked blue line, he has failed to carve out a consistent role for himself this season. Avoid.

Mark Giordano - Picks up helperGiordano logged an assist in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
ImpactGiordano helped out on a Timothy Liljegren goal in the third period. This was Giordano's second game back from a finger injury that sent him to long-term injured reserve. The 40-year-old blueliner should be expected to hold down a bottom-four role as long as he can stay healthy. He's picked up six points, 28 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 24 hits, 27 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 22 appearances this season.

Max Domi - Assists on both goals in lossDomi recorded two assists, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
ImpactDomi played provider, setting up Timothy Liljegren and Nick Robertson for the Maple Leafs' third-period goals. The 28-year-old Domi has been solid lately, racking up two goals and six helpers over his last nine outings, though he remains firmly on the third line. The forward is up to 21 points, 47 shots on net, 54 PIM, 22 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 34 contests overall. Domi also sees time on the second power-play unit, but his production there is not very consistent.
