Mason will start Monday's game against the Islanders, Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

Mason will take on the difficult task of slowing down the red-hot Islanders, and he'll likely face upwards of 30 shots once again. The Flyers' defense has been rather porous all season, and Mason has been on the wrong end of most games with a 4-6-1 record overall.
