Chris Mason briefly replaced Ondrej Pavelec on Thursday, but Mason had to leave the game with a groin injury. "He popped a groin, but I think he's OK. I haven't checked, but I don't think we need to bring someone in," coach Claude Noel said. Pavelec has a 4.19 GAA and .860 save percentage in seven starts this season, so there should be an opportunity for Mason to battle for the starting job if he's healthy. We'll keep you posted.
