Mason will be between the pipes for Saturday's season finale against the Senators, Dave Isaac of the Courier-Post reports.
Analysis:
With the Senators needing a victory to earn a spot in the postseason, Mason will attempt to play spoiler, just as he's done against playoff-contending teams in the Islanders and Penguins his last two times out. With a 2.23 GAA, .928 save percentage, and a 18-17-11 record that has been boosted by his ongoing three-game winning streak, Mason might be the Flyers' MVP this season, more than validating the team's decision to give him a three-year, $12.3 million extension last January. He's worth rolling in the season finale.
