General manager Ron Hextall said Friday that Mason (knee) could resume skating late next week, Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.Hextall relayed that Mason had a small fragment from his meniscus removed during a knee scope earlier this week, a procedure that doesn't require a lengthy recovery period. The Flyers pegged Mason to miss two-to-three weeks following the operation, and for the time being, Hextall appears optimistic the goalie could meet the short end of that timetable.
