Flyers' Steve Mason: Pitted against Sens on Tuesday

Mason will defend the cage at home against the Senators on Tuesday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

Arguably the most enigmatic goaltender in the league, Mason is fresh off huge road wins over the Wild and Penguins, respectively. Coach Dave Hakstol will ride the hot hand with the Flyers currently ranked seventh in the Metropolitan Division with 78 points, albeit only six away from a playoff spot. Ottawa is relatively dangerous in road scoring, averaging 2.69 goals per contest for an 11th-place ranking, so compare Mason with any available alternatives on Tuesday's 11-game slate.
