Lyon will start Monday's game against the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon's still searching for his first victory of 2020-21, as he's 0-3 with a forgettable 4.20 GAA and .848 save percentage. Getting into the win column will be a tall order against the third-ranked Penguins offense (3.37 goals per game).

Lyon turned aside just 14 of 18 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
New Jersey's fifth goal was an empty-netter. Lyon suffered a third consecutive unimpressive loss, and he's allowed 13 goals in those three starts. He'll continue to work as the Flyers' backup behind Brian Elliott down the stretch with Carter Hart (knee) done for the season, but Lyon's not a recommended option behind Philadelphia's league-worst defense.

Lyon will defend the blue paint during Thursday's road game versus the Devils, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon wasn't great in his last start Friday against the Rangers, surrendering four goals on 24 shots en route to a 4-1 defeat. The 28-year-old American will attempt to bounce back and secure his first win of the season in a road matchup with a struggling New Jersey team that's lost nine of its last 10 games.

Lyon made 20 saves in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Making his second start of the season, Lyon kept the Flyers in the game for about 50 minutes before fading in the third period. The 28-year-old will back up Brian Elliott until Carter Hart (knee) gets healthy, but Lyon's career 3.33 GAA and .888 save percentage over 19 NHL appearances don't offer much optimism that he can provide fantasy value if he sees any more action.

Lyon will protect the road goal Friday versus the Rangers, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon served as the backup in Thursday's 3-2 win, while Brian Elliott started with Carter Hart (knee) unavailable. The 28-year-old Lyon has allowed six goals on 50 across two appearances this season, so he could be a risky choice in DFS.

Lyon stopped 35 of 40 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Washington's final goal was scored into an empty net. Lyon found out he was getting his first start of the season just hours before puck drop as Carter Hart (lower body) was a late scratch, and the 28-year-old played like he wasn't prepared. If Hart's injury proves to be serious, Lyon would likely see more action, but Brian Elliott would move into the No. 1 role for Philly.

Lyon will patrol the crease during Saturday's home game versus Washington, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carter Hart was originally expected to start, but he was a last-minute scratch due to a lower-body injury, so Lyon will get the nod instead. Lyon will attempt to secure his first win of the season in a tough home matchup with a Capitals club that's 14-6-2 on the road this year.

Lyon will be promoted to Philadelphia's active roster and serve as Carter Hart's backup Saturday against the Capitals, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon will give veteran netminder Brian Elliott a night off Saturday. He'll almost certainly return to the Flyers' taxi squad prior to Sunday's game versus the Islanders.

Lyon was assigned to the taxi squad Thursday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon has served as Brian Elliott's backups lately. The 28-year-old Lyon made nine saves on 10 shots in a relief appearance versus the Sabres on Wednesday. Once Carter Hart gets back into the mix for playing time, Lyon is unlikely to see much additional NHL action.

Lyon came off the bench to stop nine of 10 shots in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon relieved starter Brian Elliott late in the second period with the Flyers already trailing 4-1. Lyon allowed a Brandon Montour short-handed goal late in the third period but the game was obviously well in hand by that point. Lyon, who was promoted off the taxi squad earlier in the day, could see some playing time down the stretch depending on how the Flyers handle the struggling tandem of Elliott and Carter Hart, but fantasy managers should want no part of this situation.
