Lyon (shoulder) is set to start on the road against Chicago on Thursday, per Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News.
Lyon hasn't played yet in 2026-27 due to his shoulder injury, but he was activated off injured reserve Thursday. He had a 20-10-4 record, 2.77 GAA and .906 save percentage in 36 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. The Blackhawks are 4-13-1 and rank last in the league with just 2.17 goals per game, so this is a favorable matchup for Lyon.
