Early life
Lyon was born on December 9, 1992, in Baudette, Minnesota.[1] For the first seven years of his life, Lyon and his older sister Sam grew up on an island in Lake of the Woods, and he attended school for one year at a small schoolhouse.[2] His parents were fishing lodge managers on the island, while their children took a rowboat to school. The Lyons moved back to mainland Minnesota in 2000, at which point Lyon began playing hockey.[3] Of the 25 male students in Lyon's graduating class at Lake of the Woods High School, 15 played ice hockey for the varsity team, including Lyon.[4] During his senior year in 2009–10, Lyon served as the goaltender for all 26 Lake of the Woods high school games.[5] In those 26 games, he posted a .948 save percentage (SV%).[6]
Playing career

Lyon made his first NHL start February 1, 2018 in a 4–3 loss to the New Jersey Devils.[13] On February 18, 2018, Lyon recorded his first NHL win with the Flyers after replacing an injured Michal Neuvirth in the second period. Lyon saved 25 of 26 shots by the New York Rangers en route to a 7–4 victory.[14]

On November 5, 2018, Lyon was recalled to Philadelphia following an injury to Michal Neuvirth.[16] Lyon was again recalled to the Flyers on November 16.[17]
On January 15, 2020, the Flyers recalled Lyon to the NHL following an injury to Carter Hart.[18] On February 1, 2020, Lyon recorded his first NHL win since March 22, 2018.[19]
Carolina Hurricanes
Following the 2020–21 season, his fifth within the Philadelphia Flyers organization, Lyon left as a free agent and was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Carolina Hurricanes on July 30, 2021.[20] Lyon played the majority of the season with the Hurricanes' AHL affiliate Chicago Wolves, only tallying two games with the Hurricanes. With the Wolves, Lyon finished the regular season with 18 wins and 3 shutouts, earning him the Hap Holmes Memorial Award for the AHL goaltender with the lowest goals against average.[21] He tallied two additional shutouts in the playoffs, including a 28-save shutout in the final game to win the Calder Cup.[22]

With Panthers starting goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky ill and regular backup goaltender Spencer Knight participating in the NHL's player assistance program for undisclosed issues, Lyon was called up to the NHL.[24][25] He proceeded to lead the team on a lengthy winning streak that brought the team back into contention for the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs, earning the nickname "the Lyon King."[26] Such was his success that he retained the starting role even after Bobrovsky returned, with the latter praising him, saying he "basically saved our season."[27] Lyon started the opening games of the Panthers' first round playoff series against the Boston Bruins. However, with the Bruins leading the Panthers two games to one following Game 3, coach Paul Maurice opted to return Bobrovsky to the net, stating that he felt Lyon was fatigued.[28] Bobrovsky proceeded to lead the team to victory against the Bruins, and onward through the second and third rounds of the playoffs to the 2023 Stanley Cup Finals against the Vegas Golden Knights. Lyon served as backup goaltender.[29] He took the ice against in Game 2 of the Finals, relieving Bobrovsky after he allowed four goals.[30]
