Dahlin is the can’t miss prospect of this year’s draft. He has the size of Victor Hedman, the skating of Erik Karlsson and makes the game look simple like Nicklas Lidstrom. The 18-year-old had seven goals and 13 assists (20 points) in 41 games with Frolunda in Sweden’s top league. He picked up six assists in seven games during the World Juniors as well. He’ll be on the Buffalo blueline in 2019.
Lyon went back to the AHL with Michal Neuvirth returning to the crease on Thursday. Neuvirth was re-injured almost immediately, so Lyon returns to backup Petr Mrazek.
Greenway, 21, was a second round pick (No.50 overall) in 2015 and is set to join the Wild after finishing up his junior year at Boston University. Greenway is an absolute monster, standing in at 6-foot-5, 230 lbs. and is coming off of a year in which he scored 13 goals with 22 assists (35 points) in 36 games. He could jump right into the Minnesota lineup and could be an important addition for them in the postseason.
Lyon allowed on goal on 12 shots in the Flyers shootout loss in Detroit after he replaced Petr Mrazek.

In his first game against the Rangers, Lyon stopped 25 of 26 shots in a 7-4 win after he replaced Michal Neuvirth.
Bishop stopped all three shots that he faced before leaving last night’s game with a lower-body injury. It was just his second game back from a lower-body injury that cost him five games and this later injuries will cost him at least six games. Bishop will be re-evaluated after the two weeks and his status for the remaining three games will be determined.
Bishop stopped all 12 games that he faced before leaving the Stars loss to the Senators on March 5th. Bishop ended up missing the next five games but will return tonight in Ottawa. The 31-year-old has gone 6-9-2 with a 3.16 GAA and .890 SV% on the road so far this season.

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.

Bishop allowed two goals on 37 shots in the Stars win over the Blues on Saturday. Bishop has been superb on American Airlines Center ice this season, going 20-8-2 with a 2.15 GAA and .930 SV% in 32 appearances.
