Steve Mason
When the Flyers made the trip to Winnipeg in December, it took a third-period comeback to claim a victory. This time, the tables were turned. The Flyers carried a 3-2 lead into the third.

The Orange and Black have had stretches of great potential, where they play inspired hockey and then go cold and show listlessness. The last time the Flyers faced the Winnipeg Jets, […]
For so much of the 2014-15 season, Steve Mason has been the key to success for the Flyers. The goalie that practically carried the team through the early portion of the season had been sidelined for six games prior to Tuesday night. Mason wasn't the starter on Tuesday night, but he might as well get […]
Steve Mason's status was anything but certain heading into Tuesday's game. The Flyers goalie had been recovering from injury, and it appeared Thursday would be his chance to return. Sometimes, plans change. 5:50 into the game, Craig Berube had seen enough of Ray Emery. The Coyotes opened a 2-0 lead in the first 5:50 of […]
It's been a week since the Flyers hit the ice for an exciting win over the Penguins before breaking for the All-Star Game. Only Claude Giroux and Jake Voracek were in action over the weekend. The rest of the team returns to the ice on Tuesday night as the Flyers host the Arizona Coyotes. The […]

When the Flyers dropped an afternoon game to the Bruins in pretty lifeless fashion, the strong start to a crucial homestand seemed null and void. A loss like that showed the Flyers were not on the level of the teams they had to pass in the standings to recover for the playoffs. On Monday, the […]

Ray Emery will assume the starter's role once again, […]
Steve Mason left Saturday afternoon's game against the Boston Bruins with a lower-body injury. His evaluation Sunday certainly didn't reveal the worst case scenario, but the Flyers regular netminder will definitely miss time. The Flyers announced on Sunday that Mason will be out up to two weeks, meaning he will almost definitely miss all six […]
The Flyers current homestand may be their last chance to back up any talk about the playoffs. And it couldn't have started any better when they won on Tuesday in a shootout and got the breaks needed to win in overtime on Thursday. On Saturday, the Flyers faced the team they are truly chasing. The […]
