The Philadelphia Flyers have won the Alex Lyon sweepstakes, signing the Yale goaltender to an entry-level contract, general manager Ron Hextall announced Tuesday.

At least five teams were rumored to be interested in the 23-year-old free agent including the Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings, Carolina Hurricanes, and Chicago Blackhawks, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Lyon finished his junior season with the Bulldogs with a .936 save percentage, the second-best mark in the NCAA. In three college seasons, the Minnesota native compiled a 47-22-13 record.
