He's been activated off IR. He will be wearing a face shield tonight.

Blue Jackets forward Raffi Torres, activated this morning from injured reserve, missed morning skate with the stomach flu, Aaron Portzline reports. He is questionable for tonight's game. If Raffi misses, look for Sestito to take his place.

This is a big game for Mason. If he doesn't play well, Garon might be on the fast track to being the number one guy for the remainder of the season.

^^^^Yep. Garon is the caliber of being a starting goaltender anywhere around the league.

I have a hard time believing this would happen. He is the Calder Trophy winner.

I don't think Hitch cares what awards he won last season....if Garon gives the team a better chance at winning....he's going to play.

Dorsett and Daley going at it. I'm guessing Dorsett is going to get a roughing penalty here.

Dorsett and Daley with roughing penalties. Dorsett getting an additional cross checking penalty putting Dallas on the PP. Chimera and Ott now going at it. Game is getting pretty chippy. I'll venture a guess and say Boll is next.

Nice cross ice pass from Dallas but they can't find the back of the net.

Nash getting two for boarding and two for boarding. Dallas player gets two for roughing as well so a 2 minute PP for Dallas

Turco and Mason also getting penalties for leaving the crease.
