Steve Mason sticked aside 25 shots in the Flyers' 2-0 loss to Columbus on Thursday night. Philadelphia is unable to pull closer to the Rangers, who occupy the second spot in the Metropolitan Division. Mason gave up a goal in the second and one in the third. After a rough middle stretch of the season, Mason has found his game over the past few months. He has a 2.53 goals-against average and .916 save percentage. He's a key to the Flyers' playoff hopes -- and success.
