Mason stopped 36 of 38 to win for the fourth time in five starts Thursday against Winnipeg.

Analysis:

In those five starts -- which include the Jan. 10 game in which Mason suffered a lower-body injury that knocked him out of action through the All-Star break -- Mason has allowed just six total goals while posting save marks of .929 or better in each outing. Mase and the Flyers are finally starting to warm up, but they're still a full 10 points out of a playoff spot.
