Mason will start in goal Tuesday night against the Panthers, Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Flyers are allowing 3.42 goals per contest, which is currently the worst rate in the NHL. Mason has made six consecutive starts with wild variation in terms of his quality of play -- He's gone 2-2-2 in that span, having sprinkled two total stinkers in the box score, including a six-goal shredding from the sticks of the Maple Leafs on Nov. 11. In that same vein, the veteran goalie has posted a goals-against average at 2.00 or below in four more outings. The unpredictability makes Mason a risky fantasy play in this coming contest.
