Lyon was sent down to AHL Lehigh Valley on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon had been dealing with a lower-body injury, although this move suggests the 25-year-old is fully recovered. He appeared in one period as a Flyer and allowed four goals on 12 shots. This move could be indicative that Brian Elliott is nearing a return from a lower-body injury suffered back on Nov. 15.

Lyon is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Flyers simply can't catch a break, as Lyon is now the third Philadelphia netminder dealing with an injury. The 25-year-old American will be reevaluated ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Senators, but for now, the Flyers will have to rely on Calvin Pickard and Anthony Stolarz in goal.

Lyon will be in goal on the road versus Buffalo on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon becomes the fourth netminder to start a game for the Flyers this season as he makes his 2018-19 debut. The 24-year-old saw action in 11 NHL contests last year in which he went 4-2-1 with a .905 save percentage. Once Brian Elliott (lower body) or Michal Neuvirth (undisclosed) is cleared to return, Lyon will be send back to the minors.

Lyon was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Brian Elliott sustained a groin injury in Thursday's game against the Devils, so the Flyers have called up Lyon in case Philadelphia's No. 1 netminder doesn't end up dressing for Saturday's matinee at home against the Lightning. Lyon posted a 2-2-0 record with a 3.54 GAA and .910 save percentage for the AHL's Phantoms ahead of his latest ascension to the top level.

Lyon was demoted to AHL Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The move to send Lyon back to the Phantoms likely indicates Brian Elliott (undisclosed) will at least be healthy enough to serve as the backup versus the Coyotes on Thursday. The youngster Lyon will return to the minors, where he is sporting a 2-1-0 record with a .934 save percentage while splitting time with Carter Hart.

Lyon was recalled from AHL Leigh Valley on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon has started three games in the minors, posting a 2-1-0 record. The 25-year-old has yet to feature in an NHL contest in 2018-19 but Lyon's save percentage with AHL Leigh Valley is .934 which is stellar in any league. With Michal Neuvirth (undisclosed) on injured reserve and Brian Elliot (undisclosed) out after a collision in practice, expect Lyon to occupy the backup spot behind Calvin Pickard on Monday in Arizona.

Lyon has been activated from his injured non-roster status, and the Flyers have loaned him to AHL Lehigh.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old has recovered from his lower-body injury, which sidelined him for about three weeks. He returned one week faster than originally estimated. The bad news is the injury cost Lyon a chance to earn an NHL spot out of training camp. He'll have to work his way back up and probably hope for an injury to return to the Flyers.

Lyon (lower body) is listed on injured reserve.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon is less than two weeks into his recovery from a lower-body issue that originally came with a four-week timetable. The Flyers are expected to start the season with Brian Elliott as the No. 1 goalie and Anthony Stolarz as the chief backup.

Lyon's lower-body injury will keep him sidelined for roughly four weeks.
EDGE Analysis
Flyers fan or not, you have to feel for Lyon. He was vying for a spot on the Opening Night roster and will now miss approximately a half-dozen games (per the big club's schedule). This setback will likely cause Lyon to resume hockey activities with AHL Lehigh Valley upon his return.
