Chris Mason got his first start between the pipes in nearly two weeks and set aside 31 shots in the Winnipeg Jets' 1-0 overtime win over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night.
The 35-year-old received the start in place of workhorse netminder Ondrej Pavelec, and the Jets couldn't be any happier about the road performance. Winnipeg will typically give up its fair share of shots so it will rely on its goaltender to keep it in games a little more than the average team, and Mason was up to the task against the Kings who had won four of five. The Jets are 9-3-1 in December.
