Mason will be in the crease Saturday against the Hurricanes.

Analysis:

After receiving a rest in favor of Ray Emery on Thursday, Mason will return to the net as expected. While the netminder's ratios (2.69 GAA, .917 save percentage) aren't much different from last season, Mason has struggled to get consistent goal support, which has been reflected in his 5-9-4 record. A home tilt against a low-grade Hurricanes offense should at least grant him a decent opportunity to claim victory No. 6.
