Steve Mason

VOORHEES — There's a reason why the Flyers thought it was a big deal they were able to land Ray Emery a second time when they signed him to a one-year contract this past offseason.

VOORHEES – Just like always, Steve Mason was the first Flyer on the ice. He and goalie coach Jeff Reese went through their normal routine before most of the other players had started practicing.

VOORHEES — Skin was still peeling on Steve Mason’s nose from the sun he got in the Bahamas. Instead of sunscreen, it was protected by a goalie mask for the first time in nearly two weeks. Mason had spent the first part of his break down south with some friends before spending some time with family in his hometown of Oakville, Ontario...

Steve Mason has new pads and a new mask coming and that’s not even the most exciting part of his weekend. The 25-year-old goalie signed an with the Flyers. Hockey Night in Canada’s Elliotte Friedman was first to report the terms of the deal: three years, $12...

Steve Mason is eagerly awaiting a package that should be coming any day now. It’s not a contract extension, although he’d take that too. It’s something else that will make him smile: a new set of pads. “I’m counting down the days because I like fresh gear,” Mason said...

PHILADELPHIA — By Thursday it will have been 775 days since the Flyers faced the Columbus Blue Jackets. Say hello to a new rival. “I haven’t played Columbus in two years,” Flyers right wing Wayne Simmonds said. “It’s a little different calling them division opponents...

PHILADELPHIA -- After a terrible start, the Philadelphia Flyers are back on track. Kimmo Timonen had a goal and two assists, Steve Mason made 32 saves and the Flyers beat the Ottawa Senators 5-2 Tuesday night. Claude Giroux, Sean Couturier, Wayne Simmonds and Adam Hall also scored for Philadelphia, which is 4-0-1 in its last five games after a 4-10-1 start...

OTTAWA -- The Philadelphia Flyers are starting to show improvement. The Flyers won their second straight game with a 5-0 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday. This is a sharp contrast to Philadelphia's start to the season, when it scored more than two goals in a game only once, winning just four times in its first 15 games...

PHILADELPHIA -- The Flyers had six days to stew over owning the NHL's worst record, with just two points and one win through eight games. Coming off their longest layoff of the season, Philadelphia had to shake off a little rust early, but it might have been the Flyers' fresh legs that allowed them to finally finish off the slumping New York Rangers in the third period...

VOORHEES — After a weekend off, Monday’s Flyers practice was meant to set the tempo for the week.
