Lyon was added to the Hurricanes' taxi squad Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon will serve as an emergency depth option in the even Frederik Andersen (COVID-19 protocols) is still unavailable versus the Canadiens on Thursday. Even with his promotion to the taxi squad, Lyon shouldn't be expected to log any minutes between the pipes for Carolina, making him a non-factor in fantasy contests.

The Hurricanes reassigned Lyon to AHL Chicago on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old impressed in his first start of the season Saturday, stopping 27 of 29 shots and earning the win against St. Louis. Lyon loses his roster spot now that Antti Raanta (concussion) is apparently ready to play again.

Lyon made 27 saves Saturday in a 3-2 win over the Blues. It was his Carolina debut.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon was especially sharp in the second, when eight of 13 shots he faced came on the PP. Perhaps his best stop came when he came hard across the crease while shorthanded to deny James Neal. Lyon, who is 28, has played just 23 NHL games and started just 16. But this was one of his best.

Lyon will be the starting goalie for Saturday's game against the Blues, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old will make his first start of 2021 after being called up last Sunday. Lyon played six games for the Flyers last season and posted a 3.33 GAA and .893 save percentage.

Lyon will be called up from AHL Chicago, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon will presumably back up Frederik Andersen on Tuesday in Tampa with Antti Raanta dealing with an upper-body injury. Lyon has yet to make his Hurricanes debut after posting a 1-3-1 record, 3.33 GAA and .893 save percentage with the Flyers last season.

Lyon was waived by the Hurricanes on Friday, CapFriendly reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon will almost certainly be assigned to the Hurricanes' AHL affiliate if he passes through waivers unclaimed. The 28-year-old netminder went 1-3-1 while posting a 3.33 GAA and an .893 save percentage in six appearances with the Flyers last season.

Lyon signed a one-year, two-way deal with Carolina on Friday, CapFriendly reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon has spent his entire five-year professional career in the Flyers' organization prior to signing with Carolina. The 28-year-old netminder has appeared in 22 NHL games over the last four seasons, registering a .893 save percentage and a 3.21 GAA. He won't have much of a role with the NHL squad behind Frederik Andersen and Antti Raanta barring any injuries.

Lyon made 38 saves in a 2-1 OT loss to the Capitals on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He played a strong game and came within 40 seconds of a shutout. And then the winner just trickled past him. Lyon has been strong in his last two performances -- he stopped 73 of 77 shots (.948) against the Pens and Caps. Lyon has a shot as the backup in 2021-22 unless the Flyers re-up Brian Elliott.

Lyon will patrol the crease during Saturday's road game versus the Capitals, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon was sharp in his last start Monday against the Penguins, stopping 35 of 37 shots en route to a blowout 7-2 victory. The 28-year-old netminder will attempt to secure his second win of the season in a road matchup with a Washington team that's won four of its last six games.

Lyon turned aside 35 of 37 shots Monday in a 7-2 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon was rock-solid outside a pair of power-play goals by Sidney Crosby and Jason Zucker in the third period, making 30 of his 35 stops at even strength. Lyon had been winless in his other four appearances of the year, bringing a 0-3-0 mark into Monday's game.
