Steve Mason will start for the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday.
Mason has started in six straight games, which isn't surprising despite the fact that he has allowed four goals in each of his last three games. His backup, Ray Emery, is dealing with a groin problem and Emery's temporary replacement, Cal Heeter, doesn't have any NHL experience.

Steve Mason blocked 32 shots in Philadelphia's 4-3 loss to Toronto on Saturday night.
It's clear that the Flyers' course is going to be shaped by their offense because Mason has not been the same netminder since the second month of the season, posting sub.-900 save percentages in three of the four months since. Mason has given up four goals in four of his last five games. He has a 2.63 goals-against average and .913 save percentage on the season.

Steve Mason has started 10 of the Flyers' 11 games in goal since Jan. 25.
It is Mason's highest frequency of starts this season, surpassing seven out of eight games from Dec. 12-30, though this number is slightly overstated with the Flyers' 16-day Olympic break in between. His workload isn't about to let up, not with Ray Emery on the shelf again with a lower-body injury (groin). Mason will be in net again when the Flyers visit the Maple Leafs in Toronto tonight. Mason is 26-15-5 on the season with a GAA of 2.60 and a save percentage of .914.
