MASON INJURED vs. CAPS
Flyers GM Ron Hextall announced to the media following the second period of the Flyers-Capitals game that goaltender Steve Mason has a lower-body injury and will not return to the game.
Mason left the ice with 8:42 left in the second period during the broadcast timeout before a Capitals power play. Prior to exiting the game, he stopped all eight shots he faced.
Since returning from his most recent injury, Mason has gone 3-0-1 with a 1.25 GAA and a .959 save percentage after stopping 116 of 121 shots. He missed six games (Jan. 10-27) with a lower-body injury, which was separate from another lower-body injured that caused him to miss four games in December (19-27).
Over the course of the season, Mason owns an 11-12-7 record with a 2.30 GAA and .925 save percentage, which is tied for fourth among all NHL goaltenders who have played a minimum of 18 games.

Hextall also said he "does not believe" Mason's latest injury is related to his last one. That would mean 3 unrelated injuries in 6 weeks.
