Flyers' Steve Mason returns, expected to face Hurricanes

Flyers goalie Steve Mason is fully recovered from leg spasms that forced him out of Thursday’s loss in New Jersey, and he is ready if he gets the call Sunday night against Carolina at the Wells Fargo Center.

Mason is expected to start for the ninth time in the last 10 games.

With 18 minutes, 27 seconds left Thursday, Mason was injured as he tried unsuccessfully to stop Taylor Hall’s lunging, one-handed shot on a breakaway. The goal gave the Devils a 4-2 lead in an eventual 6-2 win.

“I couldn’t bend my leg after that goal,” Mason said.
