Mason was beat for five goals in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Making his ninth straight start, the 27-year-old struggled in this one, allowing two first-period goals. A second-period tally by Patrick Hornqvist put the Flyers in a 3-0 hole. Despite the poor performance, Mason has looked good, picking up wins in his previous three starts -- allowing a total of five goals over that stretch. His recent strong play is a big reason the Flyers have a shot at making the playoffs with just a week of the regular season remaining. Sunday's matchup was tough for Mason, especially considering it was the second of a back-to-back, so don't read too much into it.
