Mason (back) is targeting a return to action Monday against the Coyotes, Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. After taking the three-day break for Christmas to recuperate, Mason resumed practicing Saturday, indicating he felt "close to 100 percent" during the 45-minute session. He'll likely try to get in some more on-ice work Sunday and Monday morning, and if all checks out well, the Flyers would surely be inclined to activate him. He'll sit out for the fourth straight game Saturday, however, as the team goes with Ray Emery in his stead.
