Mason is slated to start Sunday's road game against the Penguins, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

The start will be Mason's ninth straight, and with Michal Neuvirth (lower body) out for the rest of the regular season, we'd expect Mason -- who has won his last three turns -- to keep getting the call as long as the Flyers are jostling for playoff slotting. Mason will have his work cut out for him on the road Sunday, going up against a Pittsburgh squad that has won five straight games and is coming off back-to-back five-goal efforts.
