Flyers goalie Alex Lyon might make NHL debut Thursday

Goalie Michal Neuvirth is slated to get the start Wednesday in Washington, the first of back-to-back games for the Flyers.

And Thursday’s starter in New Jersey?

Well, based on hints dropped by coach Dave Hakstol on Tuesday, if Brian Elliott is not ready to return from a lower-body injury, it looks as though Alex Lyon will make his NHL debut against the Devils.

Lyon says he’s ready.

“I’m very confident. I’ve been playing really well in Allentown,” said Lyon after being recalled from the AHL’s Phantoms and practicing with the Flyers on Tuesday in Voorhees.
