It hasn't been confirmed yet, but look for Steve Mason to get the nod for Philadelphia on Monday night at Vancouver.
That would probably place Ray Emery between the pipes for Tuesday's match-up in Calgary. Mason has won each of his past four starts.

Steve Mason is expected to start against Minnesota on Monday.
Mason has been great this season, but he's also allowed 10 goals in his last three contests. The Wild have been one of the league's worst offensive teams this season, so perhaps playing against them will allow Mason to enter the Christmas break on a high note.

Steve Mason will play against his former Columbus teammates for the first time on Thursday since he was traded to the Flyers last April.
He's been superb for Philadelphia this season, while compiling a 12-9-4 record with a 2.34 goals-against average and a .924 save percentage. "We've had a couple conversations about (playing Columbus)," former Blue Jacket and current Flyer Jakub Voracek said. "It's going to be exciting for him. This year, he's playing the way I remember him playing the first year in Columbus. It's great to have one of the best goaltenders in the league on our team. He's been our MVP so far."

Steve Mason and the Philadelphia Flyers gave up a 4-1 lead halfway through the third period, eventually losing 5-4 (SO) to the Washington Capitals on Sunday.
After not allowing more than three goals in a single game in October and November, Mason has allowed four goals three times in December. It's difficult not to wonder if Mason's hot streak has hit a brick wall. The Flyers might want to wait out his contract year to make sure he can be a true No. 1 over an 82-game span.

Steve Mason is slated to get the start Sunday according to CSN Philadelphia.
Mason has rebounded nicely this season after some horrible seasons with the Columbus Blue Jackets where he won the Calder Trophy in the 2009-10 season. The Flyers take on the Capitals and the last time these two teams met, there was a big brawl including Flyers goalie Ray Emery whupping Caps netminder Braden Holtby in a fight. Mason is 11-9-3 with a 2.29 GAA and a .927 save percentage this season.
