Contrary to a previous report, Lyon will not start Tuesday's preseason game against the Islanders, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was a last minute change, and Anthony Stolarz will make the start instead. It's unclear if Lyon will still log minutes or if they'll save him for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

Lyon will start in goal Tuesday night against the Islanders, who are playing host to the contest, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon set aside nine of 10 shots in his preseason debut against the Isles on Sunday. The 25-year-old will try to bolster his chances of cracking the Opening Night roster, but he is currently blocked by more established netminders in Brian Elliott (abdomen) and Michal Neuvirth.

Lyon will split netminder duties with Anthony Stolarz during Sunday's preseason game against the Islanders, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon and Stolarz are both expected to play the 2018-19 season with AHL Lehigh Valley, but that could change if Brian Elliott (abdomen) or Michal Neuvirth (hip) aren't healed in time to start the season. Lyon would likely stay on the NHL roster if either can't play. He's coming of a decent season in the minors, posting a 16-8-2 record with a .913 save percentage and 2.75 GAA. His skills were elevated in the playoffs, however, as he recorded a .944 save percentage over 11 games.

Lyon agreed to terms on a two-year contract extension with the Flyers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old filed for salary arbitration Thursday.

Lyon filed for salary arbitration Thursday, according to NHLPA.com.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon just cashed out the balance of a one-year, $874,125 contract with the Flyers -- his first deal outside of entry-level terms. It might be in Lyon's best interest to agree to a new deal sooner than later. After all, Brian Elliott and Michal Neuvirth will be unrestricted free agents after this next season, and that could open the door for Lyon to see a substantial role at the top level.

Lyon was tendered a qualifying offer by the Flyers on Monday, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon got his first taste of NHL action last season, as he went 4-2-1 in 11 appearances along with a 2.75 GAA. Philadelphia has stockpiled goaltending options, given the club has NHL tenders Brian Elliott and Michal Neuvirth for one more season and Carter Hart, Anthony Stolarz and the aforementioned Lyon in the pipeline. Fantasy owners can expect the 25-year-old Minnesota native to spend the bulk of the upcoming season splitting time with AHL Lehigh Valley.

Lyon racked up an unheard of 94 saves on 95 shots during Wednesday's win over the Charlotte Checkers in the AHL playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

If there ever was a time to use the term "stood on his head," this is it. Lyon's Phantoms were outshot 95-53 in the contest, which went into a fifth overtime before a final tally was added. The victory boosted Lehigh Valley to a 3-1 lead in the series and bolsters Alex Lyon's case as the top goalie in the team's minor-league ranks. However, with both Brian Elliott and Michal Neuvirth set to return next season and Petr Mrazek a restricted free agent, Lyon's prospects of making the Opening Night roster don't improve much.

Lyon was reassigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Flyers will welcome Brian Elliott back from a lower-body injury against the Hurricanes on Thursday, so Lyon -- who's posted a 4-2-1 record, 2.75 GAA and .905 save percentage through 11 games -- heads back to the minor league. Lyon failed to take much playing time away from Petr Mrazek when Elliott and Michal Neuvirth (lower body) were both injured, but he didn't look entirely out of place as a rookie either.

Lyon was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on emergency conditions Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon was sent back to the AHL on Wednesday with Michael Neuvirth back from injury, but Neuvirth suffered another injury Wednesday evening to provide an opening behind Petr Mrazek on the depth chart. Lyon will likely be returned to Lehigh Valley when Neuvirth (lower body) is healthy but could be an option for a start or two in the meantime.

Lyon was reassigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon's bound for the minor-league affiliate due to the impending return of Michal Neuvirth (lower body), and besides, the rookie goaltender had been up with the parent club under emergency conditions and was effectively forced to the lower rank. The Flyers gave Lyon a golden opportunity to seize the starter's role for Petr Mrazek, but he ran into serious trouble against the Penguins on Sunday, yielding three goals on 11 shots before getting the hook in favor of Mrazek. Of course, he likely would be relegated to backup duty anyway since Neuvirth is back in tow.
