While this does help explain his recent poor outings, it also makes what he’s accomplished this season (including Friday night’s shutout over the Senators, and a league-leading 1.98 GAA headed into Saturday) all the more impressive. “Our doctors feel he’s had it for a while and they feel he’s on the other side of the virus,” Howson said. “The worst of it is probably over.” The Blue Jackets will monitor Mason’s diet and energy level very carefully, and he’ll likely be a game-time decision every time the team suits up until he’s finally in the clear. Expect backup Wade Dubielewicz to get a lot of work in the short term.
Fantasy Impact: With DiPietro already out for the season, this is going to force ItsAllOvers hand. He is going to have to sign a goalie that might play one game this week. Or keep Mason in with the hope of him playing. I would hate to be in his shoes right now. His only healthy goalie is Chris Mason (No Relation to Steve).
