Ray Emery was supposed to be the back-up for the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. Steve Mason was listed as the starter.
But when the puck dropped between the Flyers and Edmonton Oilers, Emery was in net and Mason wasn’t even on the bench, according to reports.
Rude welcome to the game for Emery, who allowed a goal from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins just 51 seconds into the first period.
Dont see Mason on bench right now

Flyers PR trying to find out what happened to Mason. Again, his name is on starter's sheet

Updated: Mason was back on the bench for the second period. According to reports, he felt sick during warm-up.
#Flyers say Mason felt sick after warmups and is now fine.
