Lyon was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon could be slated to start between the pipes Wednesday should Michal Neuvirth (illness) not feel well enough to give it a go. If that's the case, it would mark the 25-year-old netminder's first career NHL start. He's posted a decent save percentage (.910) with Lehigh Valley this season, though his 2.90 GAA leaves much to be desired. Even if he starts Wednesday, it's unlikely Lyon's stay in the crease will last very long once Neuvirth is healthy.

Lyon was reassigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Friday, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon was called up for depth while starter Brian Elliott dealt with a lower-body ailment. The 25-year-old has posted a .906 save percentage and 3.02 GAA in 23 minor-league games this season, and he'll head back there still waiting on his NHL debut.

The Flyers loaned Lyon to AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Flyers activated Michal Neuvirth (leg) from injured reserve in a corresponding move, so they're no longer in need of Lyon's services as a backup netminder. The 25-year-old American will return to his role as AHL Lehigh Valley's starter for the foreseeable future.

Lyon was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Yale product's recall comes with Philadelphia's No. 2 goalie Michal Neuvirth (undisclosed) being placed on injured reserve Wednesday. After enjoying some success in his first professional campaign in 2016-17 when he sported a 2.74 GAA and .912 save percentage with Lehigh Valley, Lyon has regressed this campaign, owning a 3.31 GAA and .894 save percentage. Lyon shouldn't be expected to face many NHL shots unless Neuvirth faces an extended period on the sideline.

Lyon was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley ahead of Thursday's preseason matchup with Boston.

EDGE Analysis

The former Yale star spent his first professional season with Lehigh Valley in 2016-17, and projects to play most of 2017-18 in the AHL with veterans Michal Neuvirth and Brian Elliot ahead of him on the depth chart. It's unclear whether Lyon will feature in Thursday's fixture, as he's one of three goalies included in the Flyers roster, though he'll be hoping for a chance to impress.

Lyon will start Sunday's preseason contest with the Islanders, Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sunday's start will be his first appearance at the NHL level, after putting together a solid 2016-17 season in the AHL. Lyon's unlikely to play the entire game, but for now appears to be ahead of Leland Irving in Philly's goaltender hierarchy.

Lyon inked a one-year, two-way contract with Philadelphia on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon -- who went undrafted coming out of Yale -- spent last season in between the pipes for AHL Lehigh Valley, where he logged a 27-14-0 record with a .912 save percentage. Unfortunately for the 24-year-old, he is probably fourth on the organization's depth chart as Anthony Stolarz appears to have the inside track on eventually replacing Michal Neuvirth as the starter in the City of Brotherly Love.

General manager Ron Hextall said Alex Lyon would be recalled from AHL Philadelphia if Steve Mason (illness) cannot play Sunday, Sam Carchidi of CSN Philly reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon was actually pulled from the Phantoms game Saturday as a precaution. The Flyers are hurting with Mason under the weather and Michal Neuvirth (undisclosed) suffered a scary collapse in the win against the Devils. If Lyon is recalled he is likely to serve as the backup to Anthony Stolarz.
