Mason delivered another strong performance Saturday in a 3-2 win over Ottawa. He stopped 33 shots.
EDGE Analysis
He's been key to the Flyers' run to a wild card. Mason has started eight straight and is 5-2-1 in that span. The team has signed Ray Emery to back Mason up until season's end, so the southpaw is likely to get some rest before season's end. Philly needs him to be healthy and strong for the postseason.

Mason will defend the crease Saturday afternoon against the Senators, drawing a home start, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
No surprise here, as the Flyers need to keep a firm grip on their playoff bid as the second team lobbying for a wild-card spot from the Eastern Conference. Oh, and then there's that significant detail about how Michal Neuvirth is out for the remainder of the regular season. As noted by Carchidi, this is the 13th start in the last 14 games for Mason, who owns a 21-17-9 record, 2.49 GAA and .919 save percentage this season. He'll square off against an Ottawa team that is already mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

Mason stopped 29 of 30 shots in addition to both shootout attempts in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout victory over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Mason's Flyers have heated up just in time to make a late-season playoff push, helping the goaltender pick up eight wins in his last 12 appearances along the way. He hasn't given up more than two goals in any of his last six starts, and should maintain a heavy workload down the stretch as Philadelphia must treat every game as a must-win due to its position in the standings.

Mason will start in net Wednesday against Washington, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis

Mason rejected 26 of 28 shots in Monday's win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Mason has alternated wins and losses in each of his last nine starts, but he got back in the win column in this one for his 20th victory of the season. The 27-year-old has now allowed two or fewer goals in five straight and figures to get the nod nearly every night as the Flyers continue their push toward the playoffs.

Mason will man the blue paint Monday against Winnipeg, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mason has been an essential part of the Flyers overtaking Detroit for the last wildcard spot in the Eastern Conference, however he will need to continue putting up solid numbers to maintain their lead. In his last five outings, the netminder has registered a 1.99 GAA and .938 save percentage, yet despite those numbers he has only come away with two wins in those contests. The Jets have lost four of their previous six matchups, which makes the 27-year-old worth a look for your fantasy lineup.

Mason gave up two goals on 17 shots in Saturday's loss to the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't a very busy night for Mason, but he was outdueled by Mike Smith, who stopped 34 of 35 shots. With the loss, Mason falls to 19-7-9 on the season with a .918 save percentage. He's been playing very well of late and the Flyers still occupy a playoff spot, so make sure to get him in your lineup down the stretch.

Mason will start in the crease Saturday, facing the Coyotes on the road, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Coyotes are no better than 16th in the league in any key team metric, thus making Mason an attractive fantasy play Saturday. It's clear that the Flyers have plenty of faith in Mason given that he's tasked with keeping the Flyers in position for at least a wild-card spot in the postseason. Mason's truly lived up to his namesake this month, crafting a stone wall in goal while posting a 1.97 GAA in nine March starts.

Mason saved 32 of 34 shots and was the beneficiary of a late-game comeback by the Flyers in Thursday's 4-2 road win against Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
With six minutes left in the game, Mason found himself down 2-1, but two goals in 19 seconds flipped the script and sent the 27-year-old netminder to another win -- he's 6-1-2 in his last nine starts. Mason has been at his best in the first three games of this road trip, which continues Saturday in Arizona, and he's likely to draw nearly all the starts down the stretch with Michal Neuvirth (knee) unavailable for the rest of the regular season.

Mason is slated face Semyon Varlamov in Thursday night's game against Colorado, philly.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Both teams are clawing for playoff positioning, but working in Mason's favor Thursday is that the Avs will be playing their second consecutive game without the services of leading scorers Matt Duchene and Nathan MacKinnon.
