Steve Mason (head) was able to return to the lineup on Tuesday and serve as Allen York's backup. He missed three games with a head injury after he was struck in the mask by a shot at practice. Mason said he'd prefer to return to game action as quickly as possible. "It's obviously been a tough year, but it would be nice to finish it off with a couple of games," he said. "I could still be feeling better, but I'd like to get back in."
