Sabres' Alex Lyon: Beaten twice Saturday
Lyon stopped 28 of 30 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins. The third goal was an empty-netter with three seconds left in the game.
Lyon was beaten once in the first period and once in the second, but despite having a solid outing between the pipes, he didn't get offensive support for the second game in a row. Lyon has gone 0-2-0 to open the season despite posting a save percentage of .905 or higher in both of his outings -- mainly because the Sabres have scored only one goal in those contests. His next chance to earn his first win of the season will come against the Avalanche on Monday.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Expected starter Saturday
Lyon is set to guard the road crease against Boston on Saturday, per Scott McLaughlin of WEEI.
Lyon will look to get into the win column after stopping 29 of 32 shots en route to a 4-0 loss to the Rangers in his season debut Thursday. Lyon is Buffalo's de facto No. 1 goaltender while Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) is unavailable. Lyon's role is expected to diminish once Luukkonen returns. For now, Buffalo is likely to lean heavily on Lyon over Colten Ellis, who is currently serving as the backup.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Strong in loss to Rangers
Lyon made 29 saves in a 4-0 loss to the Rangers on Thursday. He allowed three goals.
The game was closer than the score suggests. Lyon kept the game at 1-0 until Carson Soucy scored at 14:46 of the third frame. Lyon is serving as the Sabres' starting netminder early in the season since Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is on the shelf with a lower-body injury. Lyon's skills are better suited for backup duty, but he did put up a 2.81 GAA in 30 games last season.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Guarding cage Friday
Lyon will patrol the blue paint for Friday's preseason finale on the road versus the Penguins, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
Lyon will step in after Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) was injured in Wednesday's preseason. At this point, if Luukkonen can't play in the season opener versus the Rangers on Oct. 9, then it looks like Lyon will guard the cage instead -- though Alexandar Georgiev could still be an option.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Tending twine Tuesday
Lyon will be between the pipes for Tuesday's preseason matchup at home against Columbus, per Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic.
Lyon will play in the first two periods of the contest, and Devon Levi will occupy the crease in the third. The 32-year-old Lyon earned a 14-9-1 record with one shutout, a 2.81 GAA and an .896 save percentage across 30 appearances with Detroit in 2024-25.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Secures two-year deal
Lyon inked a two-year, $3 million contract with Buffalo on Tuesday.
Lyon put up decent numbers in Detroit last season, going 14-9-1 with a 2.81 GAA, .896 save percentage and one shutout in 30 regular-season outings. The problem for Lyon was the crowded goalie room with the Red Wings, a situation that won't be much different in Buffalo, as Devon Levi is pushing to be a full-time NHL option.

Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Makes two saves in win Wednesday
Lyon stopped 28 of 30 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Devils.
Lyon has operated as the Red Wings' No. 3 goalie down the stretch this year, but he still managed to appear in 30 regular-season contests.

Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Guarding goal Wednesday
Lyon will start on the road versus the Devils on Wednesday, James Nichols of New Jersey Hockey Now reports.
Lyon is set to play for the second time in three games. He won over the Lightning on Friday, stopping 18 of 21 shots (.857 save percentage) in a 4-3 overtime victory. Lyon has often functioned as the Red Wings' No. 3 goalie this year, though this will be his 30th game of the season.

Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Earns first win since late March
Lyon stopped 18 of 21 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.
Lyon was beaten once in each period, and at one point, the Lightning held a 3-2 lead midway through the final frame, but the Red Wings responded to secure the win. Lyon earned his first victory since March 24, when he stopped 17 of 18 shots in a 5-1 win over Utah. His results haven't been impressive recently, though, going 3-3-0 with a 3.30 GAA and a less-than-inspiring .863 save percentage over seven appearances since the 4 Nations break.

Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Getting start versus Lightning
Lyon will start on the road versus the Lightning on Friday, per the NHL media site.
Lyon allowed three goals on 10 shots in his last outing, getting pulled early in the second period March 27 versus the Senators. The 32-year-old will have his hands full with a tough opponent that is nearly at full health, especially since the Red Wings are on the second half of a back-to-back.

Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Pulled early in second period
Lyon allowed three goals on 10 shots before being pulled 1:33 into the second period of a 4-3 loss to Ottawa on Thursday.
Since Petr Mrazek's arrival in trade, Lyon has been watching most games from the press box. He got this start after Mrazek got hurt this week, but Lyon failed to impress. Fantasy managers should avoid Lyon, as the Red Wings don't help their netminders much, and they're 3-7-0 in their last 10 games despite their attempt to earn a wild card.

Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Facing Senators
Lyon will patrol the home crease against Ottawa on Thursday, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.
Lyon has allowed four goals in three of his last five appearances, including Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Colorado. He has a 12-9-1 record with one shutout, a 2.76 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 27 appearances this season. Ottawa sits 20th in the league with 2.90 goals per game in 2024-25.

Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Takes loss in Colorado
Lyon allowed four goals on 27 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Lyon played nearly the full game Monday versus Utah after Petr Mrazek (undisclosed) sustained an injury early on. Lyon got the win in that game, but the Avalanche showed their top-six strength throughout the contest to send the 32-year-old netminder to the loss this time around. Cam Talbot (undisclosed) is also dealing with an injury, so Lyon has quickly ascended to temporary No. 1 status. He's now 12-9-1 with a 2.76 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 27 appearances. Mrazek won't be ready Thursday, but Talbot's status is still up in the air. In any case, expect Lyon to be in uniform when the Red Wings host the Senators on Thursday.

Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Starting in Colorado
Lyon will defend the road net against Colorado on Tuesday, according to Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News.
Sebastian Cossa will be Lyon's backup because Petr Mrazek (undisclosed) and Cam Talbot (undisclosed) are unavailable. The 32-year-old Lyon made 16 saves on 17 shots in Monday's 5-1 win over Utah after Mrazek sustained an injury. Lyon has a 12-8-1 record with a 2.70 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 26 appearances this season. Colorado ranks sixth in the league with 3.34 goals per game in 2024-25.

Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Earns win Monday
Lyon stopped 16 of 17 shots in Monday's 5-1 win over Utah.
Lyon guarded the Red Wings' crease for the first time since March 6 despite not being announced as the starter, as he replaced Petr Mrazek (undisclosed) in the first period. Lyon could see a heavier workload if Mrazek remains sidelined, though Cam Talbot is also on the roster as another goaltending option. Lyon has made four appearances since the 4 Nations Face-Off break, going 2-2-0 with a 2.78 GAA and an .883 save percentage.
