Flyers' Steve Mason: Tending twine Tuesday

Mason will be in the blue paint against the Islanders on Tuesday, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

Mason struggled in his three playoff appearances before being given the hook in favor of Michal Neuvirth last year. Although Mason should start the season as the primary netminder, a slow start could see him replaced. Until there is more clarity regarding the Flyers' goaltending situation, fantasy owners in shallower formats may want to avoid utilizing either player.
