Gets hook in Tuesday's loss Lyon stopped 27 of 32 shots before being replaced by James Reimer to begin the third period of Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.

Impact Dallas scored four goals in the second period to Detroit's zero, prompting coach Derek Lalonde to make the switch between the pipes in an effort to spark a comeback. It almost worked, as the Wings nearly erased a 5-2 deficit in the final frame. It was the first time Lyon had given up more than four goals in a game all season, and since taking over the No. 1 netminding job in late December, the 31-year-old has gone 7-3-1 in 11 starts with a 2.97 GAA and .913 save percentage.

This defeat marks the 31-year old netminder's second loss in his last seven games while not allowing more than three goals in any of them.

Impact Lyon continues to earn his share of the net, posting a 5-0-1 record, 2.62 GAA and .927 save percentage over his last six outings.

Busy in OT win over Florida Lyon made 32 saves in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Panthers.

Impact Florida grabbed a 2-1 lead midway through the second period, but Lyon slammed the door shut the rest of the way. The 31-year-old netminder has yet to take a regulation loss in January, going 5-0-1 in six starts with a 2.62 GAA and .927 save percentage, and Lyon has a firm hold for the moment on the No. 1 job in the Detroit crease.

Detroit eventually ended up in the loss column after Darnell Nurse scored in overtime on the only shot in the extra period. Lyon has been a workhorse for the Red Wings, starting in six consecutive games for them with four wins during that span.

Lyon is up to 7-4-0 with a 2.56 GAA and a .919 save percentage through 11 appearances. He's the No. 1 goalie for the Red Wings, at least until Ville Husso (lower body) is ready to return.

Bounced by Boston Lyon stopped 19 of 22 shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Bruins.

Impact Boston's final two tallies were scored into an empty net. The 31-year-old netminder hasn't looked great since returning from an upper-body injury, allowing seven goals on 59 shots over the last two games, but with Ville Husso (lower body) still sidelined and James Reimer fighting the puck (4.76 GAA in December), Lyon figures to see a starter's workload in the crease for Detroit.
