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.
Sheary has been sidelined by an upper-body injury since January 31st, but has been skating and took part in the morning skate, so there’s a good chance he returns to the lineup tonight. He skated with Sidney Crosby this morning, so if he plays, make sure you get him back in your lineup. He has registered 17 goals and 18 assists (35 points) in 42 games this season.
Sheary continues to inch closer to a return to the Penguins’ lineup, but it won’t happen tonight vs. the Blackhawks. He has been sidelined since the final day of January and will now eye a Friday return vs. Tampa Bay.
Sheary was hurt during Tuesday’s win over the Predators and will miss at least one month. This is a tough break for the young winger, who has built up a great chemistry with Sidney Crosby this season. Sheary is third on the Penguins in goals (17) and his injury should allow Chris Kunitz or Jake Guentzel to move to the top line.
Sheary missed the last seven games with an eye injury that he suffered back on October 18th. The young winger collected three points (1G / 2A) in the first four games of the season and will re-enter the lineup on the fourth line tonight.
Sheary was caught by a high-stick in Tuesday’s loss in Montreal and the injury will keep him out of Thursday’s game. Sheary will come out of the lineup for at least one game. He is listed as day-to-day.
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.
Carrick, 24, has picked up 15 goals and 18 assists (33 points) in 50 games with the Marlies this season. He has yet to appear in an NHL game this season, but played in 16 last year, scoring one goal with one assist. Expect him to make his season debut tonight vs. the Blue Jackets.
Zucker has been a healthy scratch for the last two games, but he will re-enter the lineup on Tuesday in place of the sick David Jones. Zucker has just one goal in his last nine games and has 13 goals and 10 assists (23 points) in 65 games this season. He will skate on the second line with Mikael Granlund and Thomas Vanek.
Zucker has missed the last six games with a concussion, but will return to the Wild’s top-6 this afternoon in Buffalo. Zucker has 12 goals and 10 assists (22 points) in 58 games this season.
Sheary suffered an upper-body injury after being hit hard vs. the Jets on Saturday. He had three goals and two assists in 27 games before the injury, but is not expected to be sidelined for long.
