Lyon allowed one goal on two shots in relief of Brian Elliott in Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon played the final 15:19 after replacing an ineffective Elliott. He wasn't busy but still allowed New Jersey to pad its lead further down the stretch. Lyon has done little to earn any more playing time, even if Carter Hart (abdomen) continues to miss time.

Lyon made 28 saves in a 6-3 win over Colorado on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
It was his first NHL win this season in his second start. Lyon will be headed back to the AHL the moment Carter Hart is back from injury, so no need to roster him.

Lyon will tend the twine in Saturday's road matchup with Colorado, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon gave up four goals on 40 shots in his lone NHL appearance this season and will be hoping to put together a better performance versus the Avs. In 14 career appearances (nine starts) for the Flyers, the 27-year-old netminder is 4-4-1 with an .894 save percentage and 3.14 GAA. Once Carter Hart (abdomen) is cleared to play, Lyon will find himself back with AHL Lehigh Valley.

The Flyers promoted Lyon from AHL Lehigh Valley on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Carter Hart (abdomen) is expected to be sidelined for at least one more week, so Lyon will fill in as Brian Elliott's backup for the foreseeable future. The 27-year-old allowed four goals on 40 shots en route to a 4-1 loss to the Canadiens in his lone appearance with the big club this season.

The Flyers loaned Lyon to AHL Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Flyers are off until Jan. 31 against the Penguins, so Lyon will head down to continue playing during the NHL's All-Star break. If Carter Hart (abdomen) is ready to return following the league's hiatus, Lyon will remain in the minors. If not, the 27-year-old will once again be summoned by the big club.

Lyon allowed four goals on 40 shots, making 36 saves in a 4-1 loss to Montreal on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old was making his first start of the season at the NHL level, promoted in the wake of Carter Hart's abdominal injury, but failed to pick up the win. Lyon has 19 wins in the minors this season, but his last victory at the NHL level was back in 2017, meaning trusting him to deliver in fantasy won't be easy. Even set for a decent NHL workload because of Hart's injury, Lyon isn't worth owning in fantasy.

Lyon will defend the home net Thursday against the Canadiens in his season debut.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon has spent the majority of the season with AHL Lehigh Valley but was recalled Tuesday following the news that Carter Hart will be sidelined due to a lower-body injury. After Brian Elliott was given the nod Wednesday, Lyon will make his season debut Thursday against a Canadiens club racking up 3.35 goals per game on the road, good for the sixth-best mark in the NHL.

The Flyers recalled Lyon from AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carter Hart is dealing with a lower-body issue, so Lyon will be on hand to serve as Brian Elliott's backup Wednesday against St. Louis. The 27-year-old backstop will be shipped back to the minors as soon as Hart is ready to return.

Lyon was re-assigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Monday was a busy day for the Flyers. In addition to firing head coach Dave Hakstol, the team called up Carter Hart from the AHL and put Anthony Stolarz on injured reserve. Now, Lyon is replacing Hart down in the minors.

The Flyers recalled Lyon from AHJL Lehigh Valley on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Brian Elliott (lower body) has returned to Philadelphia to undergo further evaluation, and Michal Neuvirth has done the same to be present for the birth of his child, so Lyon may get an opportunity to start in goal Friday against the Oilers or Saturday against Vancouver. The 26-year-old American hasn't played well in the minors this season, compiling a 3-4-0 record while posting a sub-par 3.48 GAA and .907 save percentage in seven appearances.
