Lyon stopped all 21 shots he faced in Saturday's 7-0 win over Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
The game was never in doubt, as Florida scored multiple goals in each period, but Lyon had his busiest period in the third as the Blue Jackets tried in vain to spoil his first NHL shutout. The 30-year-old has won three straight starts while Sergei Bobrovsky (illness) has been sidelined, and the surge has carried the Panthers into the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference -- although two of those wins have come against teams in the bottom five in the league in the Jackets and Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis
Lyon will make a third straight start while Sergei Bobrovsky (illness) remains unavailable. The 30-year-old Lyon is 5-3-1 with an .888 save percentage on the season. He'll face a Columbus team that's lost its last three contests.

Lyon stopped 18 of 20 shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon got his second win in as many days with Sergei Bobrovsky (illness) unavailable. The 30-year-old Lyon allowed a goal to Sean Farrell in the first period before Rafael Harvey-Pinard added a power-play marker in the third en route to an eventual 5-2 victory. Lyon improves to 5-3-1 with an .888 save percentage this season.

Lyon will guard the road goal Thursday versus the Canadiens, Katie Engleson of Bally Sports Florida reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon will play back-to-back nights with Sergei Bobrovsky (illness) not feeling well enough to play. The 30-year-old Lyon impressed Wednesday with 38 saves on 40 shots to earn the win, his fourth in eight outings at the NHL level this season.

Lyon made 38 saves in Wednesdays' 3-2 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
With Sergei Bobrovsky feeling under the weather after having lost three consecutive starts in regulation while allowing four-plus goals in each, the Panthers turned to Lyon and were rewarded with his best start of the season. Lyon tied his season best with two goals allowed, despite facing Toronto's top-10 offense. Florida moved within one point of the Penguins for the final playoff spot in the East, and the team will likely opt to ride the hot hand between Lyon and Bobrovsky down the stretch.

Lyon will guard the road goal Wednesday against the Maple Leafs, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon will make his eighth appearance this season, having allowed 28 goals on 226 shots through his first seven outings. It's not a particularly favorable start for him Wednesday, as the Maple Leafs have averaged 3.42 goals per game.

Lyon turned aside 18 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Philadelphia's final goal was scored into an empty net. The second period was especially tough for Lyon as he made his first NHL start since late January, as he gave up four goals on only 11 shots during the frame. It's looking increasingly unlikely that Spencer Knight (personal) will play again this season, but with the Panthers fighting to stay in the playoff picture, Lyon isn't likely to see much work behind Sergei Bobrovsky -- Florida has only one more back-to-back set left on its schedule, March 29-30 in Toronto and Montreal.

Lyon will guard the road goal Tuesday against Philadelphia, Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon has permitted 23 goals on 203 shots in six NHL appearances this season en route to a 3-2-1 record. This will be his first contest with the Panthers since a 37-save performance in a 4-3 overtime win over Boston on Jan. 28. The Flyers sit 30th in the league this campaign with 2.61 goals per game.

Lyon was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Florida returned Mack Guzda to the minors in a corresponding move. Lyon won both of his starts with the Checkers this weekend, allowing just one goal on 35 shots. He has permitted 23 goals on 203 shots at the NHL level this season en route to a 3-2-1 record. Lyon could start this week with the Panthers set to visit Detroit on Monday and play in Philadelphia on Tuesday.
