Ilya Samsonov joined some rare company on Friday when he made 25 saves for the Washington Capitals in a 5-3 win against the Ottawa Senators at Canadian Tire Centre for his 11th consecutive victory. The 22-year-old became the third rookie goalie in NHL history to win 11 straight decisions, joining Ross Brooks of the Boston Bruins (14-0-0 in 1973-74) and George Hainsworth of the Montreal Canadiens (11-0-0 in 1926-27).
