Lyon stopped 20 of 25 shots in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

New York's final goal was scored into an empty net. After winning his first two games of the season for Florida, Lyon crashed back to earth with a thud. Spencer Knight returned from AHL Charlotte on Monday but didn't get the start, so look for Lyon to return to the No. 2 role in net starting Tuesday against the Penguins, and eventually get bumped back to Charlotte himself once Sergei Bobrovsky (lower body) is healthy.

Lyon will be between the road pipes against the Rangers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon will look to build upon his two-game winning streak during which he posted a 2.55 GAA and .912 save percentage. With Sergei Bobrovsky (lower body) sidelined, it could fall to Spencer Knight to take the second game of the back-to-back versus the Penguins on Tuesday.

Lyon made 29 saves Saturday in a 5-3 win over Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

It was Lyon's first start and second win of the season. His only other game this season was Thursday when he relieved an injured Sergei Bobrovsky (lower body) just 2:01 into the game. Spencer Knight (undisclosed) is in the AHL for conditioning and could be back for Monday's game against the Rangers. But the Panthers play again Tuesday, and Lyon could be between the pipes in one of those contests. The undrafted, 30-year-old journeyman has just 17 NHL starts and 25 appearances over six seasons, and is clearly living the dream every time he hits the ice.

Lyon will defend the home net versus Minnesota on Saturday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Panthers are down to their third-string goaltender as Sergei Bobrovsky suffered a lower-body injury Thursday and Spencer Knight is at AHL Charlotte, getting in a couple of games as he recovers from an undisclosed injury. Lyon picked up the win versus Montreal on Thursday in relief of Bobrovsky, stopping 23 of 25 shots. He will face the Wild, who have scored 140 goals in 44 games, 21st in the NHL.

Lyon made 23 saves in his Florida debut in relief Thursday. He allowed two goals and earned the 6-2 win over Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

He was pressed into duty quickly after Sergei Bobrovsky left the game with a lower-body injury before even facing a shot. With Spencer Knight (undisclosed) on the IR and Bob the Goalie down, Lyon is suddenly the top cat in the litter box for Florida. At 30, he has just 25 NHL appearances under his belt and a career record of 8-7-3 with a .3.12 GAA and .896 save percentage. Lyon was 9-8-1 with a 2.55 GAA and .909 save percentage in 18 games with the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL prior to his call-up. He's not a long-term fantasy solution, but he could be the team's starter for a week or so, depending on the severity of the injuries of the top guys.

Lyon was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Tuesday, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon will dress as the backup goalie Tuesday against Colorado behind Sergei Bobrovsky. Spencer Knight (undisclosed) won't suit up for the contest and has been moved to injured reserve, according to the NHL media site.

Lyon was reassigned to AHL Charlotte on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon was up with the Panthers as goaltending depth with Spencer Knight battling an illness. With Knight ready to go for Thursday's game versus the Penguins, Lyon's presence was no longer needed. He didn't make an appearance during his time at the NHL level.

Lyon was called up by Florida on Thursday, per David Dwork of Local 10 Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon has a 6-5-1 record, 2.80 GAA and .903 save percentage in 12 AHL games this season. The 29-year-old has played in 24 career NHL contests, posting a 7-7-3 record, 3.18 GAA and .895 save percentage. Florida already had Spencer Knight and Sergei Bobrovsky on its roster. Nothing has been announced about Knight or Bobrovsky, but if either netminder is unable to play Thursday against Detroit, then Lyon will presumably serve as the backup.

The Panthers waived Lyon on Sunday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old earned a two-way deal with Florida this offseason but he was never signed to be more than organizational depth behind Sergei Bobrovsky and Spencer Knight. Lyon has appeared in 24 NHL games since the start of the 2017-18 campaign.

Lyon signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Panthers on Wednesday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon will slot in as the Panthers' No. 3 goalie behind veteran Sergei Bobrovsky and youngster Spencer Knight. In 30 games with AHL Chicago last year, Lyon posted a 2.16 GAA and a .912 save percentage, and he improved those numbers to a 2.02 GAA and .923 save percentage in 12 AHL playoff games.
