Following their playoff clash, in which Samsonov's Toronto Maple Leafs fell to Ullmark's Boston Bruins, Samsonov took to Instagram to express his feelings. In response to Ullmark being ranked 10th among the league's top goaltenders, Samsonov commented in a way that suggests lingering tension.
On November 21st, the Ottawa Senators, featuring Ullmark, will face off against Samsonov's new team, the Vegas Golden Knights.
Both goalies are under significant pressure: Samsonov will rebound from a challenging stint with the Leafs and lead the Golden Knights to a potential second Stanley Cup, and Ullmark will drive the Senators toward a breakout season they've long awaited.
