Steve Mason earns another start for Flyers

The Philadelphia Flyers are starting Steve Mason in goal versus the New Jersey Devils on Thursday.

What It Means:

Mason stopped 26 shots on Wednesday as the Flyers defeated the Washington Capitals 3-2. Despite the difficulty of playing the second night of a back-to-back, Mason has a nice matchup versus the slumping Devils. New Jersey has lost seven straight games while scoring an abysmal 1.3 goals per game.

Our models project Mason to stop 25.4-of-27.6 shots faced with a 61.0 percent chance of winning, making him our fourth-best goalie option in Thursday's 10-game slate.
