What It Means:

Mason has sat out the past three games while Michal Neuvirth was in goal. However, with Neuvirth under the weather, Mason gets the start on Thursday. His last start was a disappointment as he allowed five goals on 28 shots versus the Carolina Hurricanes on January 31.

Mason is projected for only 15.7 fantasy points, by numberFire's algorithms, with 2.5 goals allowed, 24.3 saves and a 50.0 percent chance of earning the win. He's our 18th-ranked goalie out of the 22 starters in action on Thursday.
