Part of the Leafs' goaltending strategy going forward will involve a lot of secrecy
The Leafs goaltending this season has been quite impressive despite some injuries. Both offseason acquisitions of Matt Murray and Ilya Samsonov have proven successful, as they both have a save percentage above .925 for the first time in modern Leafs history.
Having two goalies performing so well makes it hard to decide who will be the regular starter for the team, and Sheldon Keefe has no intention of sharing his plan regarding that situation either.
Murray will get the go-ahead tomorrow night in Tampa, but after that, it's hard to say how the Leafs will approach their successful goaltending tandem. Murray and Samsonov haven't appeared to be the slightest bit rusty, following them both missing multiple weeks due to an adductor and knee injury, respectively.
Despite Keefe keeping goaltending plans a secret from everyone, including the goalies themselves, a plan will probably become more concrete over the next few games. Maybe then, more will be shared.
