Mason will be the starting goalie for Thursday night's home matchup with Edmonton, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After a very questionable start to the season, Mason has looked like an elite goaltender lately, winning five consecutive starts and not allowing more than two goals in any of them. It's even more impressive when you realize that he's faced an astonishing 171 shots over that span. He could have his hands full again considering that the Oilers are taking 31.9 shots per game and scoring 2.93 goals per game.

Mason put a stop to 42 of 44 shots by the Panthers in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win.
EDGE Analysis
The game just barely avoided going to a shootout, as Jakub Voracek scored the game-winner with nine seconds left in OT. Mason's had an up-and-down year, but he's now won five consecutive starts, posting a .947 save percentage in that span. With Michal Neuvirth still sidelined by his lower-body ailment, Mason promises to continue seeing nearly all the work in net for the Flyers.

Mason will start between the pipes in Tuesday's home game against the Panthers, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mason has been fantastic of late, posting a 4-0-0 record with a 1.71 GAA and .945 save percentage over his last four appearances. The 28-year-old backstop will look to pick up his 10th win of the season in a favorable matchup with a struggling Panthers team that's only averaging 2.35 goals per game this season, 23rd in the NHL.

Mason stopped 30 of 32 shots in a 3-2 victory over Nashville on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Philadelphia allowed Nashville to tie the game on two separate occasions, but Mason shut the door in the third period, stopping all 12 shots he faced in the final stanza. Mason has yielded two or fewer goals in each of his last four starts, and all of those games ended in victories. Overall, Mason is 9-8-3 with a 2.76 GAA and .904 save percentage.

Mason will patrol the crease Sunday against the Predators, Steve Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mason continues to play well between the pipes, allowing just five goals in his last three starts and earning three straight victories. With Neuvirth (lower body) still sidelined and an unproven backup in Anthony Stolarz behind him, the Flyers will continually roll with their main man. He'll attempt to hold a high-powered Nashville attack (3.00 goals per game this season) at bay, but is playing in his second game of the team's back-to-back set Sunday.

Mason stopped 26 of 27 shots Saturday afternoon in a 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Don't look now, but Mason has rung up three straight wins and allowed just five goals in that span. The Flyers could make some noise this season if Mason can make these types of performances the norm, not the exception.

Mason will start in goal against the visiting Blackhawks on Saturday afternoon, Tim Panaccio of CSN Philly reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mason has been the poster boy for inconsistency this season, with the results tipping out of his favor more often than not. He's 7-8-3 with a 2.91 GAA and .899 save percentage. He'll field shots from a Chicago team that might be tired after seeing each of their past three games go beyond regulation.

Mason saved 19 of 21 shots during Thursday's 3-2 overtime win against the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Mason wasn't tested often by the Senators, a team that averages just 2.26 goals per game. The 28-year-old has now survived two contests that have gone past regulation, giving up just two tallies in each appearance after allowing 11 in the previous four games. It may not be pretty, but the netminder now sits at 7-8-3 with a 2.91 GAA and .899 save percentage.

Mason will work between the pipes as Thursday's road starter against the Senators, Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mason prevailed over the Bruins in his last start Tuesday, slapping away 45 of 47 shots in the process. The veteran backstop has been maddeningly inconsistent this season, though he owns a sturdy 8-4-2 record, 2.10 GAA and .931 save mark in 14 career games against the upcoming opponent.

Mason turned away 45 of 47 shots during Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win against the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Mason survived an onslaught of shots Tuesday, seeing 10-plus in each period and six in overtime. The netminder has not been able to string together multiple wins in a row this season, sitting at 6-8-3 with a 2.98 GAA and .898 save percentage. While he's still the No. 1 option to defend the crease, inconsistent play has haunted the 28-year-old through 18 appearances.
