Gets hook against Sabres Lyon allowed four goals on 13 shots before being replaced by James Reimer late in the first period of Tuesday's 7-3 loss to Buffalo.

Impact The brutal opening frame was more the fault of the the Red Wings' defense than it was Lyon, as the netminder would make an initial save only for Buffalo to keep the pressure on and eventually find the back of the net. Even so, Lyon has lost five straight starts in regulation and coughed up at least four goals in each one, stumbling to a 5.37 GAA and .850 save percentage during the losing streak. With the Wings suddenly in danger of missing the playoffs, Reimer could see his workload increase substantially.

Lyon has seen a career-high workload this season and could be wearing down -- he's given up four or more goals in four of his last eight starts, going 4-4-0 with a 3.45 GAA and .882 save percentage. It wouldn't be a surprise if James Reimer began to draw into the crease more often.

Impact The Kraken fired double-digit shots at Lyon in each period, including an additional one in the extra marker, but he was up to the task to keep his team in the game throughout. It took 15 shots and a power play for Seattle to get on the board when Jared McCann wired a slap shot into the back of the net on assists from Vince Dunn and Andre Burakovsky. McCann added another goal in the second period and then Jaden Schwartz got the go-ahead goal in the third. Olli Maatta eventually tied up the game at 18:16 and the game went into overtime when Ben Chiarot ended it on a wrister for a Detroit win. Lyon finished the game with a solid .927 save percentage and three power-play saves. The Red Wings face the Avalanche at home Thursday.

Set to face Canucks Lyon is expected to start on the road against Vancouver on Thursday, Grand Rapids play-by-play broadcaster Bob Kaser reports.

Impact Lyon will look to rebound after surrendering seven goals on 29 shots in an 8-4 loss to Edmonton on Tuesday. He has a 14-7-2 record, 2.76 GAA and .915 save percentage in 23 outings in 2023-24.

Lit up in relief outing Lyon surrendered seven goals on 29 shots in relief of Ville Husso (lower body) in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Husso was injured on the first goal of the game, forcing Lyon to come in cold. Lyon gave up a quick goal, but he was steady enough in the second period to have the game tied at 3-3 heading into the final frame, when the Oilers took over on offense. There's been few games like this for Lyon this season, who has a 2.76 GAA and a .915 save percentage to go with his 14-7-2 record on the year. If Husso has aggravated his previous injury, it'll likely be Lyon handling the lion's share of the starts in goal moving forward.
