Mason (knee) will work out in full Saturday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jets reportedly will turn to breakout goalie Connor Hellebuyck in the upcoming contest against the Maple Leafs, but it does appear that Mason's on the verge of returning to action. Perhaps the ex-Flyer will draw into at least one of the four games in the final week of the regular season, but either way, Hellebuyck has run away with the starting job and goalies of his caliber typically don't take breaks in the postseason.

According to coach Paul Maurice, Mason (knee) could be eligible to play next week, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
While the news means Mason won't dress for the Jets' next two contests, he could suit up Monday or Tuesday against either Ottawa or Montreal respectively. If the netminder does appear in one of those two games, it could be his last start of the season, as Winnipeg will no doubt use No. 1 Connor Hellebuyck exclusively in the postseason.

Mason (knee) took the ice ahead of Monday's practice session, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Getting Mason on the ice in full pads is just the first step in his recovery process. The netminder will need to join his teammates in a full practice before be will be cleared to return to action. The veteran is on the early end of his original 2-3 week timeline and likely won't return to the lineup in a backup role until the playoffs.

Mason will miss 2-3 weeks after having his knee scoped, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Any hope the Jets had of using Mason to fill in for starter Connor Hellebuyck during the last month of the regular season have all but evaporated. Michael Hutchinson figures to replace Mason on the No. 2 in Winnipeg for the time being. The veteran Mason has been plagued by injuries all season and as a result, has played in a mere 12 contests this year, in which he logged a 4-6-1 record and 3.18 GAA.

Mason (lower body) will not be on the bench for Saturday's matchup with Philadelphia, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mason -- who was just one game back from a concussion -- sustained his lower-body injury in practice Thursday. The veteran would like have seen at least one of the three games remaining on the Jets' current road trip -- although could have gotten a few more starts to rest of starter Connor Hellebuyck. Instead, recently recalled Michael Hutchinson will backup Hellebuyck and is expected to play either Monday or Tuesday against Washington or Nashville respectively.

Mason sustained a lower-body injury at Thursday's game-day skate, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's a tough blow for Mason, who is just one game back from a concussion that previous kept him sidelined since early January. The veteran was unlikely to start against the Devils on Thursday anyway, but may have split a tough four-game road trip with starter Connor Hellebuyck. The Jets didn't provide a timeline for how long Mason might be out, but Michael Hutchinson will be emergency recalled from the minors to serve as the backup in the meantime.

Mason saved 31 shots during Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
This was Mason's first start since Jan. 9, as he missed nearly two months with a concussion. It was encouraging to see the veteran stand tall against the Rangers, as he entered Tuesday's start with an underwhelming .897 save percentage and 3.52 GAA through his previous 11 outings. Still, with Connor Hellebuyck locked in as the No. 1 goalie in Winnipeg, Mason's opportunities will probably be limited through the end of the season.

Mason will get the starting nod against the Rangers on Tuesday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mason will be making his first appearance between the crease since Jan. 9 when he faced off with the Sabres. Considering start Connor Hellebuyck has played in 13 of the Jets' previous 14 outings, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see the team eager to give him a night off. In preparation for the postseason, the veteran Mason could see a few extra games, but the No. 1 job in Winnipeg clearly belongs to Hellebuyck.

Mason (concussion) was removed from injured reserve Monday.
EDGE Analysis
In a corresponding move, Michael Hutchinson was sent down to AHL Manitoba. That should mean that Mason will return to his role as Connor Hellebuyck's backup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers. The Jets are about to embark on a lengthy road trip, so you should expect the 29-year-old to see some action soon.

Mason (concussion) was called up from his conditioning assignment with AHL Manitoba on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
In his one start with the Moose, Mason recorded a win, despite allowing four goals on 22 shots for a .818 save percentage. The netminder will link up with the team on the road in New York. It's unclear whether the veteran will suit up against the Rangers on Tuesday, but fantasy owners can be encouraged by the fact that he is back with the team. Even once cleared, Connor Hellebuyck should see the majority of the minutes in the blue paint the rest of the way.
