The Penguins have placed Conor Sheary (lower-body) on IR.
Goalie Start
Lyon will make his first NHL start in New Jersey.
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).
Sheary is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.

Grzelcyk cracked the opening night roster thanks to a Torey Krug preseason injury, but with Krug set to return on Monday, Grzelcyk was sent back to the AHL. The 23-year-old was a plus-1 with two shots on goal in 12:11 TOI in the season opener. He returns to Providence where he had 32 points (6G / 26A) in 70 games during his first professional campaign.
The Sharks select Josh Norris with the 19th overall pick.
Zucker (lower-body) skated this morning, but isn't expected to play Tuesday.
Sheary (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Wednesday; but probable to play.
Sheary (upper-body) is on the ice for warmups; will be in the lineup as expected.
Sheary (upper-body) will be a game-time decision on Friday.
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.
