Steve Mason returns; R.J. Umberger a healthy scratch

After missing two games due to a family issue, Steve Mason will be back between the pipes for tonight's game against the Dallas Stars.

After a stellar preseason, Steve Mason looked poised to build off his Vezina-caliber 2014-15 performance this season. Unfortunately, a family issue stopped Mason in his tracks, contributing to a poor game against the Florida Panthers and causing the goalie to miss two starts.

But tonight, it looks like Mason is ready to go.

The Flyers' top goalie on the depth chart will be available against the Dallas Stars, and according to the assignments at practice, Mason will get the nod over Michal Neuvirth.
