Lyon sustained an upper-body injury during Tuesday's game versus the Senators.

Lyon was a perfect 10-for-10 in saves in the first period, indicating this is an injury concern rather than a performance-related reason for his exit. Cam Talbot replaced Lyon between the pipes and would likely take over as Detroit's top goalie should Lyon miss any time.
