On taxi squad Thursday Lyon was assigned to the taxi squad Thursday, per CapFriendly.

Impact Lyon has served as Brian Elliott's backups lately. The 28-year-old Lyon made nine saves on 10 shots in a relief appearance versus the Sabres on Wednesday. Once Carter Hart gets back into the mix for playing time, Lyon is unlikely to see much additional NHL action.

Makes relief appearance Lyon came off the bench to stop nine of 10 shots in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Lyon relieved starter Brian Elliott late in the second period with the Flyers already trailing 4-1. Lyon allowed a Brandon Montour short-handed goal late in the third period but the game was obviously well in hand by that point. Lyon, who was promoted off the taxi squad earlier in the day, could see some playing time down the stretch depending on how the Flyers handle the struggling tandem of Elliott and Carter Hart, but fantasy managers should want no part of this situation.

Slated for backup duties Lyon was promoted to the active roster Monday.

Impact Carter Hart will sit out the next two games as he focuses on shaking out of a cold spell. In turn, Lyon will back up Brian Elliott in Monday's game versus the Sabres, and head coach Alain Vigneault said either Elliott or Lyon will start against the Sabres on Wednesday. Lyon made 32 AHL appearances last season, posting a .913 save percentage and a 2.69 GAA.

Promoted to taxi squad Lyon was added to the taxi squad Sunday, per CapFriendly.

MARCH 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Rises to taxi squad Lyon was promoted from AHL Lehigh Valley to the Flyers' taxi squad Thursday.
