WASHINGTON CAPITALS NEWS

Ilya Samsonov - Grabs win No. 20 Samsonov stopped 25 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Lightning.

Impact The 25-year-old is benefitting from some great offensive support lately, going 3-0-1 over his last five appearances but sporting a 3.11 GAA and .880 save percentage during that stretch. Fortunately for Samsonov, Vitek Vanecek (4.16 GAA, .863 SvP in his last five outings) is playing even worse right now, so the duo will likely remain in a timeshare until one of them rights the ship.
