Lyon’s last start came on February 20th, where he stopped 25 of 27 shots en route to a 3-2 victory over the Canadiens. He has a 2.88 GAA and a .903 SV% in five appearances for the Flyers this season. He draws a tough matchup tonight against the Bruins.
Lyon entered Sunday’s game against the Rangers after Michal Neuvirth went down with a lower-body injury, making 25 saves on 26 shots en route to picking up the win for the Flyers. Despite his strong play on Sunday, the Flyers still felt it necessary to acquire Petr Mrazek from the Red Wings, though Lyon is still expected to see some starts so long as Neuvirth and Brian Elliot are both sidelined. He draws a strong matchup tonight at home against the Canadiens.
