Flyers' Mason to test Barclays sightlines; Leach tells his inspiring story

Flyers goalie Steve Mason will use Wednesday's morning skate in Brooklyn to get acclimated to the sightlines at the New York Islanders' new arena, the Barclays Center.

The Flyers will face the Islanders on Wednesday night.

"I've read some articles about it, and it's not the most standard hockey arena," Mason said after an optional skate Tuesday in Voorhees. "It was built for basketball."

In the morning, Mason said, he will "try to get the bearings down and figure out the sightlines because it's going to be a little bit of a different visual impact. Most arenas these days are, for the most part, cookie-cutter.
