Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Ilya Samsonov appears to have avoided an injury scare after exiting Saturday's 6-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers.

Samsonov needed help off the ice immediately after Leon Draisaitl scored the Oilers' third goal with 3:39 left in the third period.

However, Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe said postgame that it "looks like he's going to be fine," according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Samsonov turned aside 31 of the 34 shots he faced in the game. Jones stopped all five fired his way before the final horn.
