Alex Lyon - NHL News & Rumors

Gets starting nod for Thursday Lyon will be between the pipes for Thursday's home matchup with the Islanders, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

Impact Lyon has appeared in just three of the Red Wings' last 11 contests, losing all three games while giving up 15 goals on 95 combined shots (.842 save percentage). Despite his recent struggles, the team will go back to the 31-year-old for Thursday's matchup, which likely means fantasy players can expect to see Cam Talbot between the home pipes against the Bruins on Saturday.

Struggles in return Lyon (lower body) allowed five goals on 28 shots in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Ducks. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Lyon gave up a goal in each of the first two periods and three more in the third as the Ducks pulled off a comeback. This was his first action since Oct. 30, as he had lost his share of the crease before missing a week with the injury. Lyon is now 2-4-0 with a 3.13 GAA and a .903 save percentage over seven appearances this season. Cam Talbot is likely to start in goal versus the Kings on Saturday.

Slated to start Friday Lyon (lower body) is expected to start on the road against Anaheim on Friday, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

Impact Lyon last played between the pipes Oct. 30 when he stopped 23 of 29 shots en route to a 6-2 loss to Winnipeg. Anaheim figures to be a far easier adversary -- the 5-8-2 Ducks rank 32nd offensively with just 2.20 goals per game. Lyon has a 2-3-0 record, 2.78 GAA and .916 save percentage in six appearances in 2024-25.

Good to go for road trip Lyon (lower body) is expected to be available to play for Friday's game versus the Ducks, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Lyon was expected to be available at some point during the Red Wings' road trip through California. With the team sending down Ville Husso following Wednesday's game versus the Penguins, it appears Lyon has been given the all clear. Detroit plays in Anaheim on Friday and in Los Angeles on Saturday, so expect Lyon to start one of those contests.

Could return during road trip Lyon (lower body) won't be in the lineup for Wednesday's matchup in Pittsburgh but could return during Detroit's four-game road trip, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Impact Lyon participated in Tuesday's practice and is getting close to returning to action. Cam Talbot will start against the Penguins, while Ville Husso will be the backup. The 31-year-old Lyon has a 2-3-0 record with a 2.78 GAA and a .916 save percentage through six appearances this season

Skates before practice Monday Lyon (lower body) skated before Monday's practice session, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Impact Lyon suffered a lower-body injury Thursday that led to him being scratched from Friday's game against the Maple Leafs. While head coach Derek Lalonde didn't offer an update beyond Lyon's return to the ice Monday, it's certainly encouraging to see the goaltender skating. It's not yet clear when Lyon will be able to return to game action.

Suffers lower-body injury Lyon suffered a lower-body injury Thursday and will not dress against the Maple Leafs on Friday, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

Impact Lyon was slated to get the start in goal in Toronto, but Cam Talbot will now get the call. The Red Wings recalled Ville Husso from the AHL on an emergency basis to back up Talbot. Lyon has lost his last two starts, allowing 10 goals on 67 shots and is 2-3-1 with a 2.78 GAA and a .916 save percentage in six appearances this season.

Tending twine Friday Lyon will guard the cage on the road against the Maples Leafs on Friday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Lyon is currently stuck in a two-game losing streak in which he gave up 10 goals on 67 shots (.851 save percentage) and has had to watch Cam Talbot start the Wings' last two contests. A matchup with the star-studded Leafs -- though Auston Matthews (upper body) is a doubt -- isn't exactly the best way to get Lyon back on track but Detroit's back-to-back, with the Rangers at home Saturday, didn't leave the coaching staff with any good options.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Thumped by Jets Lyon made 23 saves in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to Winnipeg.

Impact The Jets grabbed a 3-0 lead in the first period and never trailed in the game, saddling Lyon with his second straight loss and third of the season. The veteran goalie saw a heavy workload early but appears to have fallen back into a timeshare with Cam Talbot -- and he may not be done falling, having allowed 10 goals on 47 shots over his last two starts. Despite those stumbles, Lyon still has a 2.78 GAA and .916 save percentage in six appearances.

Slated to start Wednesday Lyon is expected to start Wednesday's home game against Winnipeg, according to Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site.

Impact Lyon allowed four goals on 38 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Buffalo. He has a 2-2-0 record with one shutout, a 2.05 GAA and a .940 save percentage through five appearances this season. Winnipeg has compiled 40 goals in nine games en route to an 8-1-0 start to the 2024-25 campaign.

Bounced by Buffalo Lyon stopped 34 of 38 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres, with Buffalo's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact The 31-year-old netminder has started three of the last four games for Detroit, but Lyon gave up more than three goals Saturday for the first time this season. He had little chance on any of them however, and the game-winner came on a Bowen Byram point shot that Lyon stopped, only for the rebound to deflect in off the back of Jeff Petry's leg. Lyon has a 2-2-0 record, 2.05 GAA and .940 save percentage through five appearances, and for now he appears to have a slight edge on Cam Talbot for playing time in the Wings' crease.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Facing Sabres Lyon will protect the visiting crease in Buffalo on Saturday, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

Impact Lyon has been sharing the net with Cam Talbot thus far in the early going. Lyon is coming off a 1-0 shutout win over the Islanders on Tuesday, stopping 29 shots. He is 2-1-0 with a 1.46 GAA and a .955 save percentage in four appearances this season. The Sabres have found the back of the net 25 times in eight games.

Bricked up twine tent Lyon made 29 saves in a 1-0 win over the Islanders on Tuesday.

Impact It was Lyon's first shutout this season and his fourth in the NHL. The Islanders had their feet on the gas most of the game, but Lyon adroitly turned them away, wave by wave. He is 2-1-0 on the season with a 1.46 GAA and .955 save percentage. Right now, Lyon is rising to the occasion and winning, so consider him an option for your blue paint whenever he's in there.
