Flyers goalie Steve Mason leaves game against Capitals

WASHINGTON (AP) - Philadelphia Flyers goalie Steve Mason has left the game against the Washington Capitals on Sunday midway through the second period because of an undisclosed injury.

With play stopped due to a penalty call, Mason went to the bench and had to be assisted by trainers to the locker room.

He was replaced by Ray Emery.

The Flyers led 1-0 when Mason left, but Washington soon tied it on a power-play goal by Alex Ovechkin.
