Alex Lyon to Miss at Least One More Week

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Alex Lyon (lower body) will be out for about 7-10 more days, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports. Lyon sustained a lower-body injury in late December, landing on the shelf after winning seven consecutive decisions. Buffalo has gone with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in all three games since Lyon was injured. The Finnish netminder has done solid work, posting a 2-1-0 record and allowing eight goals. With Lyon and Luukkonen in top form, the Sabres have been the hottest team in the NHL since December, joining the playoff race.

Alex Lyon to Miss "Bit of Time"

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Alex Lyon (lower body) will sit out Wednesday's contest against the Dallas Stars. On Wednesday morning, Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff said Lyon will miss "a bit of time" with a lower-body injury, so his absence may not be limited to one game. The in-form goalie, who has recorded seven straight victories, was hurt late against the St. Louis Blues on Monday. Colten Ellis (concussion) was activated from Injured Reserve and will dress as Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen's backup on Wednesday. While Luukkonen has lost his starting job to Lyon, he has recorded back-to-back wins, allowing only one goal in each contest.

Alex Lyon Nursing Lower-Body Injury

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Alex Lyon (lower body) could miss some time after skipping Tuesday's practice. Lyon picked up his seventh consecutive win on Monday versus the St. Louis Blues but also sustained a lower-body injury in the contest. It's unclear if Lyon will get a chance to extend his streak on New Year's Eve against the Dallas Stars. Recently, Lyon has been Buffalo's No. 1 option between the sticks, outplaying Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. Colten Ellis (concussion) has also picked up starts for the Sabres this season, and head coach Lindy Ruff said on Tuesday that the team is ready to activate him from Injured Reserve if Lyon misses time.

Alex Lyon Bags Another Victory Monday

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Alex Lyon recorded a seventh-consecutive win on Monday against the St. Louis Blues in a 4-2 victory. The Blues got two pucks past Lyon inside the opening 8:09 of action, but the Sabres' offense kept his and the team's winning run alive. Buffalo has matched its fourth-longest streak in franchise history with nine consecutive wins. Lyon has played an integral part in the success, registering a 2.22 goals-against average and a .919 save percentage during the run of victories. The 33-year-old has improved his record for the season to 10-6-3. He boasts one shutout and has a 2.82 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage. After Monday night, Lyon is just two wins away from tying Gerry Desjardins' franchise record for the longest winning streak by a Sabres goaltender.

Alex Lyon Facing Tampa Bay On Saturday

According to Daniella Bruce, Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon will get the starting nod on Saturday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Lyon and Cam Talbot have alternated starts over the past two weeks and will follow suit on Saturday afternoon. Over his last two outings, Lyon picked up two victories with a .946 percent SV and a 1.86 GAA. Over his previous five outings before this winning streak, Lyon held a similar .911 percent SV with a 2.41 GAA. Overall, Lyon holds a 10-6-1 record across 21 outings this season. However, Lyon has a tougher matchup on Saturday afternoon as the Lightning have scored nine goals over their previous two contests. He is a high-risk play in DFS that is best to fade on Saturday's large slate of games.

Alex Lyon Unavailable Friday

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon (upper body) will not be in the lineup on Friday against Chicago. He sustained an upper-body injury in Tuesday's matchup against Ottawa. Cam Talbot replaced Lyon in the second period on Tuesday and will log his 20th start of the campaign against the Blackhawks. The 2024-25 season has been a tricky campaign for Talbot, who owns an 8-9-2 record. He has recorded one shutout with a 3.03 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage. The veteran netminder will hope to register his third consecutive win on Friday, a feat he hasn't accomplished since March of last year.

Alex Lyon Returns To Work Wednesday

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon (lower body) will be back in action on Wednesday against Philadelphia. He has shaken off a lower-body injury, which has kept Lyon sidelined for the entire month so far. The 32-year-old finished November strongly with back-to-back wins and will enter Wednesday's action with a 4-4-0 record. He has registered a 2.75 goals-against average with a .911 save percentage and one shutout. The Red Wings have struggled offensively this season, which has impacted Lyon's numbers. However, the Flyers are also a low-scoring team, so Lyon should fancy his chances of making a winning return.

Alex Lyon Starts For Red Wings On Monday

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon has been confirmed as the starter for Monday's meeting with the Islanders. Detroit goes back to the goalie who has already come out victorious twice from the same matchup this season. Lyon has a 2-0-0 record against the Islanders, with only one goal allowed. The most recent victory came last week with a 22-save effort in a 2-1 win. Lyon's overall record for the season stands at 3-4-0. He has allowed 2.85 goals with a .908 save percentage. While his form tends to be inconsistent, Lyon seems to have the Islanders' number and must be full of confidence ahead of Monday's outing.

Alex Lyon Struggles In First Appearance Of The Month

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon had a rough outing as he returned from a lower-body injury on Friday against Anaheim, allowing five goals on 28 shots in a 6-4 defeat. The Red Wings battled out a 3-1 lead, but Lyon couldn't keep ahold of it, conceding three goals in the third period. The 31-year-old netminder has now dropped three starts in a row, with his record plummeting to 2-4-0. Lyon has a 3.13 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage for the campaign. He will give up the crease to Cam Talbot against the Kings on Saturday and might have to wait for his next opportunity for a while because Lyon hasn't been getting the job done for Detroit.

Alex Lyon Dealing With Lower-Body Injury, Ville Husso Called Up

Detroit Red Wings goalie Alex Lyon (lower body) tweaked an injury in practice on Thursday and won't play in either of the team's back-to-back games on Friday and Saturday. Cam Talbot will get Friday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, while Ville Husso was called up from the AHL and will start Saturday against the New York Rangers. Neither make for a great stream, as both the Rangers and Leafs have offensive firepower. As for Lyon, head coach Derek Lalonde said he wasn't overly concerned about the chance of a long-term absence, so the goalie should be back soon.

Alex Lyon Collects Fourth Career Shutout

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon stoned the Islanders on Tuesday, finishing a 1-0 victory with a 29-save shutout. Patrick Kane scored the only goal as Lyon played a key role in the win. He needed to make nearly three times as many saves as Ilya Sorokin in the other net, with Detroit only firing off 11 shots on goal. This was Lyon's fourth career shutout. The 31-year-old has been a late bloomer and will be delighted with his early season form. Lyon carries a 2-1-0 record and has allowed only 1.46 goals with a .955 save percentage. He's competing for playing time with Cam Talbot, who's gone 1-1-0 so far while also boasting one shutout with a 3.31 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage.

Alex Lyon Starts For Red Wings Monday

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon will be in the crease for Monday's Original Six matchup against the Rangers. The Red Wings are going with a third different starter in three games after Ville Husso and Cam Talbot got the nod for the first two games of the season. Husso was waived at the weekend, and now it's Lyon's turn to show what he's capable of. The 31-year-old had a 21-18-5 record in Detroit last year, allowing 3.05 goals with a .904 save percentage. He owns a 2-3-0 career record against the Rangers, who have scored a whopping 11 goals in their first two 2024-25 outings.

Alex Lyon Getting The Starting Nod Monday

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon is getting the start on Monday for a crucial contest against the visiting Montreal Canadiens. After making six straight starts, Lyon gave way to James Reimer for Saturday's key 5-4 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs but he will get right back at it against the Canadiens on Monday. The 31-year-old has taken over the crease from Reimer this season but hasn't been as sharp of late. For the season, he owns a 3.03 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage across 43 outings (42 starts) while going 20-18-5 in that time. The Red Wings also play tomorrow as they sit tied for the second and final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference but have the fewest regulation wins (the tiebreaker) between them and the Capitals, Flyers, and Penguins with two games to go.

Alex Lyon To Start Again Thursday

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon will once again be between the pipes for Thursday's home game versus the New York Islanders. The 31-year-old won an 8-3 decision over the Washington Capitals his last time out and will make his fifth start over his team's last six games on Thursday. Lyon has been the club's best option between the pipes this season over James Reimer and Ville Husso as he sports a quality 2.69 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage across 28 appearances, going 18-8-2 in that time. He has won each of his last four outings, allowing just one goal twice in that time. The Red Wings are winners of their last six games and sit fourth in the Atlantic Division with a 33-20-6 record.

Alex Lyon Looks To Continue Hot Spell On Sunday

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon faces the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday with a chance to register his fourth win in five starts. The 31-year-old has become Detroit's regular starter with Ville Husso (lower body) sidelined and James Reimer out of form. Lyon didn't see any action for the Red Wings before Nov. 17, but he's been a very reliable option between the sticks since then, posting a 7-4-0 record while allowing 2.56 goals with a .919 save percentage and one shutout. Anaheim has the fourth-worst attacking record in the league, so there's a strong chance Lyon's rise continues Sunday night.

Alex Lyon Deemed Week-To-Week

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon (lower body) is out week-to-week after exiting Saturday's game early with a lower-body injury. This is a tough blow for the Wings, who also lost Ville Husso (lower body) to injury in Monday's contest. Lyon has been terrific for Detroit and was slowly getting more starts, deservedly so after posting a 4-3 record with a 2.14 GAA, .932 SV%, and 5.3 GSAA in seven games. With Lyon and Husso out, expect James Reimer to get the bulk of the work in net.
