Philadelphia Flyers goalie Steve Mason has been named the starter for Thursday night's matchup with the Vancouver Canucks.
Mason has dropped seven straight starts, but is 14-4-6 on the season with a .903 save percentage and 2.80 goals-against average. Tonight's sledding won't be much easier versus a Canucks team with a 6-1-1 record over their past eight games.
Our models give Mason a 58.0 percent chance of picking up a win over Vancouver while projecting him to allow 2.3 goals and record 26.0 saves. He is numberFire's 11th-ranked goalie out of the 18 starters available on Thursday night.
