Lyon stopped 22 of 25 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.
Lyon put in a fair performance, though the Sabres weren't able to protect a pair of one-goal leads. The 33-year-old had missed the first month and a half of the campaign due to a shoulder injury. The door is open for Lyon to push for more starts, as both Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Colten Ellis have been inconsistent at best so far. The Sabres' road trip continues in Dallas on Saturday, which will be a bit of a risky matchup that most fantasy managers can likely avoid.
