EDGE Analysis
Lyon's promotion indicates something may be wrong with one of Frederik Andersen or Antti Raanta, though specific details have yet to surface. The 29-year-old Lyon is likely to slot into a backup role while with the big club. He's 1-0-1 in two appearances with the Hurricanes this season.

Lyon was assigned to AHL Chicago on Thursday, per CapFriendly.

Lyon seems to have been surpassed by Jack LaFontaine on the Hurricanes' goaltending depth chart. This makes it unlikely Lyon sees much more NHL time this season.

Lyon stopped 32 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Making his second NHL start of the season, Lyon fell behind 3-1 early in the second period but stood tall down the stretch to give the 'Canes a chance to come back and earn a point. There's been no indication yet how serious Antti Raanta's upper-body injury is, but even if he sticks around for a while, Lyon likely won't see much action behind Frederik Andersen.
