Mason will be between the pipes in Thursday's Game 1 against the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Mason was sharp in his last outing of the regular season, stopping 18 of 19 shots en route to a 3-1 win over the red-hot Penguins on Saturday. The 27-year-old netminder will look to keep rolling Thursday in a tough road matchup with a Washington team that has averaged an impressive 3.10 goals per game at home this season, fifth in the NHL.
