Samson, 23, leads Checkers scorers this season with 26 goals and 54 points, and ranks tied for the team lead with 28 assists. The Greenfield Park, Que., native ranks first among all AHL skaters this season with 245 shots on goal, third in the AHL with 26 goals and fourth in the AHL with 54 points. Samson (6’0”, 195 lbs.) made his NHL debut with Carolina on Jan. 7, 2010, and earned two assists in seven games with the Hurricanes last season. Carolina signed Samson as a free agent on July 7, 2007.
