EDGE Analysis
Lyon will spend the balance of the upcoming season as the top netminder with the Phantoms --unless he is claimed by another team before noon on Tuesday. The 28-year-old Minnesotan posted a 3.55 GAA and .890 save percentage in three games with the Flyers during the 2019-20 season.

Lyon signed a one-year, $700,000 contract extension with the Flyers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon spent the majority of the 2019-20 campaign in the minors, compiling a 11-14-5 record while posting a 2.69 GAA and .913 save percentage in 32 appearances, but he also drew into three games with the big club, earning a 1-1-0 record while registering a 3.55 GAA and .890 save percentage. The 27-year-old backstop will spend most, if not all of the 2020-21 season in the AHL.

The Flyers reassigned Lyon to AHL Lehigh Valley on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon was called up to play the No. 2 role while Carter Hart (abdomen) was on the mend, and the former recorded an .890 save percentage and 1-1-0 record. Hart is good to go, though, so Lyon will head back to minors.
