Goaltender Alex Lyon's future will be a lot clearer in 48 hours.

A free agent after three years at Yale University, Lyon had a stellar 2015-16 season, posting a .936 save percentage and 1.64 GAA in 31 games.

"Word is his decision's coming down in the next 48 hours," reported Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman on Saturday's "Headlines" segment. "Edmonton and L.A. (are) among the favorites, not apparently Calgary," Friedman added.

Lyon's 23 years old and is from Baudette, Minn. He stands 6-foot-1 and weighs 200 pounds.
