Mason will be between the pipes Saturday in Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Mason will get the coach's blessing for the third straight game, following two remarkable outings where he recorded wins both games, deflecting 72 of 73 shots. The Flyers are on the doorstep of a playoff spot, but the matchup against Washington will be a tough one. The Capitals are a offensive powerhouse, and after adding Kevin Shattenkirk at the trade deadline, their power play is even more threatening. Mason will likely see a lot of rubber, but he's proven lately he is up to the task.
