Report: Jets have reached out to Steve Mason

It's no secret that the Winnipeg Jets are in need of an upgrade between the pipes, so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that the club has reached out to pending unrestricted free-agent Steve Mason, according to Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun.

Mason is set to become a UFA after spending the last five seasons with the Philadelphia Flyers. That being said, Mason is coming off his worst year statistically since the 2011-12 campaign when he went 16-26-3 with a .894 save percentage and a 3.39 GAA with the Columbus Blue Jackets.

In 58 games this season Mason went 26-21-8 while amassing a .908 save percentage and a 2.66 GAA.

Four goalies shared time between the crease this past season for the Jets and none posted a better GAA or save percentage than Connor Hellebuyck's 2.89 and .907 marks.

While Mason is expected to test the market, Flyers general manager Ron Hextall has not completely ruled out bringing back Mason for another stint.
