In an Instagram post on Friday, Capitals goalie prospect Ilya Samsonov posed at the Glacier Ice and Snow Arena in Ponpano Beach, Florida, with Luis Alvarez, a physical therapist on the training staff of the Florida Panthers.
Samsonov, who underwent inguinal hernia surgery earlier in the summer, thanked Alvarez in the post and declared, “Finally I feel 100%! All my injuries are behind me. Let’s go train some more!”
As reported here earlier, Samsonov likely suffered the injury on this play in the bronze-medal match between Russia and Sweden during the World Junior Championship in January 2017.
