Lyon turned aside all five shots that he faced in relief of Michal Neuvirth in his NHL debut last night. Neuvirth reportedly did not feel well during the game, so look for Lyon to get his first career start tonight in New Jersey. The 25-year-old is a bit of an unknown and is the fourth goalie on the Flyers depth chart but with injuries he’ll get his shot—he was 13-8-2 with a 2.90 GAA and .910 SV% in Lehigh Valley (AHL).

Lyon has gone 13-8-2 with a 2.90 GAA and .910 SV% in 24 games with the Phantoms this season. With Brian Elliott (lower-body) landing on IR on Tuesday, Lyon was recalled to serve as the Flyers’ No.2 goaltender behind Michal Neuvirth.


Thompson went to San Antonio during the Blues’ bye week. He has split the season between the NHL and AHL, picking up five points (3G / 2A) in 15 games with the Blues and 18 points (8G / 10A) in 26 games with San Antonio (AHL).

Thompson has picked up five points (3G / 2A) in 15 games with the Blues since being called up. With the Blues bye week start on Wednesday, he heads back to the AHL to keep playing. He has 16 points (7G / 9A) in 24 games with the Rampage this season.


The Flyers placed Michal Neuvirth on IR this morning, so Lyon has been recalled to serve as Brian Elliott’s backup in Wednesday’s game in Edmonton. Lyon has gone 8-6-1 with a 3.31 GAA and .894 SV% in 16 games with the Phantoms this season.


Thompson had no points, three shots, five hits and a minus-3 rating in his first four games and served as a healthy scratch on Tuesday. The 6-foot-5, 186 lbs. winger will swap spots with Sam Blais and go to the AHL where he had one goal and one assist in 16 games last season.




Tuch failed to record a point in three games during his call-up and has now recorded zero points in six games with the Wild. Tuch returns to Iowa, where he has 12 goals and 13 assists (25 points) in 36 games this season.

Tuch, 20, failed to record a point while playing three games on the Wild top line, but he has scored 12 goals and 13 assists (25 points) in 36 games with Iowa. Expect Tuch to draw back into the lineup on Tuesday.

Tuch failed to record a point while firing seven shots and averaging 11:54 TOI in his first three NHL games. The 2014 No.18 overall pick returns to Iowa, where he has 11 goals and 11 assists (22 points) in 34 games this season.


Tuch, 20, was a first round pick in 2014 (No.18 overall) and this is his first NHL call-up. Tuch has scored 11 goals with 11 assists (22 points) in his first 34 career AHL games and this call-up means he could make his NHL debut on Saturday.

After scoring 21 goals in just 51 games in 2014-15, the Wild were hoping for big things out of Zucker last season, but he never seemed to gain any traction. The 24-year-old winger struggled with just 13 goals and 10 assists (23 points) in 71 games, but the Wild we able to secure him for two more years at a very reasonable cap-hit.
