Guarding cage Friday Lyon will be in goal against Carolina on the road Friday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

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. At this point, there is little reason to expect the Minnesota native to suddenly see a downturn in opportunities, so fantasy players should expect him to continue getting the nod ahead of James Reimer.

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.

In goal versus Cats Lyon will get the starting nod for Tuesday's road clash with Florida, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

Impact Lyon had started seven straight matches before getting the night off versus Toronto on Sunday, which happened to be the second night of a back-to-back. In those prior outings, the 31-year-old Lyon went 5-1-1 with a 2.96 GAA and .914 save percentage. It seems the Minnesota native has cemented himself as the No. 1 option for the Red Wings as the club tries to secure a playoff spot for the first time since 2015-16.

Strong start to 2024 continues Lyon made 33 saves Saturday in a 5-3 win over Los Angeles.

Impact Lyon is undefeated in regulation in 2024 - he's 4-0-1 in his last five starts dating back to Jan. 2. Lyon has faced 184 shots in that five-game span, and his save percentage has sparkled in those games (.924). The Wings are playing strong hockey right now, and they're only one point out of a Wild Card spot. Lyon is going to be a critical part of their success in securing one of those Wild Cards.

Facing Kings Lyon will protect the home net Saturday against the Kings, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

Impact Lyon is coming off a 44-save effort in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to Edmonton. He has a posted a record of 8-4-1 this season with a 2.54 GAA and a .922 save percentage. Lyon made 40 stops in a 4-3 shootout win over the Kings on Jan 4. LA is tied for 11th in the league this campaign with 3.29 goals per contest.

Falls in overtime Lyon allowed three goals on 47 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings on Thursday.

Impact The Oilers outshot the Red Wings 47-17, so Lyon was far busier than Calvin Pickard on the night. Edmonton could not slip the puck past Lyon until their 37th shot on net by a Connor McDavid breakaway goal to tie the game up 1-1 in the third period. 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.

Between pipes Thursday Lyon will tend the twine at home versus Edmonton on Thursday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Impact Lyon is 4-1-0 with a 2.95 GAA and .906 save percentage in his last five contests. The 31-year-old netminder will be making his sixth straight appearance in the crease after James Reimer was relegated to the backup role after giving up five or more goals in three straight contests. The Red Wings have a back-to-back against the Kings and Leafs on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, which should see Lyon and Reimer split the workload.

Guarding goal Sunday Lyon will defend the road net Sunday against Anaheim, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Lyon has stopped 64 of 70 shots en route to two straight wins. Through 11 games this season, he has provided a 7-4-0 record with a 2.56 GAA and a .919 save percentage. Anaheim ranks 31st in the league this campaign with 2.51 goals per contest.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Wins in shootout Lyon stopped 40 of 43 shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.

Impact Lyon earned his third win in the last four outings, though he's allowed at least three goals in each of those games. Thursday's effort was one of his best this season, as the 43 shots he faced were a season high. The 31-year-old also stopped both of the Kings' shootout attempts. 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.

Slated to face Kings Lyon is expected to start in Thursday's road game against LA, per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

Impact Lyon has won two of his last three starts, but he's also surrendered 10 goals on 86 shots (.884 save percentage) over that stretch. He's 6-4-0 with a 2.53 GAA and a .917 save percentage in 10 contests this season. The Kings rank 10th offensively this year with 3.38 goals per game, so this might be a difficult matchup for Lyon.

Snares win Tuesday Lyon stopped 24 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact The Red Wings let a couple of leads slip away, but they rallied to stay ahead in the last half of the third period. Lyon has allowed 10 goals over three outings since he returned from an upper-body injury, but he's won two of those contests. The 31-year-old is 6-4-0 with a 2.53 GAA and a .917 save percentage over 10 appearances this season. The Red Wings' offense is talented enough to cover his recent poor play, making him a solid fantasy target for wins. The team's road trip continues Thursday in Los Angeles.

Guarding cage Tuesday Lyon will defend the road net against the Sharks on Tuesday, according to Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site.

Impact Lyon has lost three of his past four outings, surrendering 12 goals on 100 shots during that span. In nine games this season, he has a 5-4-0 record with one shutout, a 2.47 GAA and a .920 save percentage. San Jose sits 32nd in the league with 2.03 goals per contest this campaign.

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.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Sunday Lyon will protect the home net Sunday against the Bruins, according to Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site.

Impact Lyon is coming off a 33-save effort in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over Nashville. In eight games this season, he has posted a 5-3-0 record with a 2.39 GAA and a .925 save percentage. Boston is tied for 18th in the league with 3.09 goals per contest this campaign.

Hangs on for OT win Lyon turned aside 33 shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Predators.

Impact Seeing his first action after returning from an upper-body injury that had sidelined him since Dec. 16, Lyon had little chance on any of the pucks that beat him, three of which came from right on his doorstep. The 31-year-old netminder played well enough to force OT as Detroit got out-shot 37-23 on the night, and Lucas Raymond was able to make him a winner. Lyon is 5-3-0 through eight starts on the season with a 2.39 GAA and .925 save percentage, and with James Reimer struggling again, he could make another push for the top spot in the Red Wings' crease.

DECEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Friday Lyon (upper body) will get the starting nod at home versus the Predators on Friday, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lyon will make his first appearance in the crease since Dec. 16 against the Flyers when he gave up one goal on 16 shots but still suffered a loss. Ville Husso's (lower body) continued absence could allow Lyon to share the crease with James Reimer, especially after Reimer gave up 17 combined goals in his last three contests.

DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on injured reserve Lyon (upper body) was put on injured reserve Saturday, retroactive to Dec. 16.

Impact Lyon was playing very well before his injury, as he was 4-3-0 with a 2.14 GAA and .932 save percentage. The Red Wings are having trouble at this time between the pipes as Ville Husso (lower body) is also on injured reserve. James Reimer and Michael Hutchinson are currently the top two healthy goaltenders on the roster and Detroit is really struggling as they are 3-6-1 in their last 10 games.

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Considered week-to-week Lyon (upper body) is listed as week-to-week, according to Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site.

Impact Lyon was injured in the second period of Saturday's 1-0 loss to Philadelphia. "I'm feeling pretty good today and I'm optimistic I'll skate sooner rather than later," he told

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set to miss next two Lyon (lower body) is not expected to be ready ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Winnipeg and could be placed on injured reserve, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Impact Lyon told reporters he will get back on the ice soon, so he doesn't appear to be facing a long-term absence. In the meantime, Ville Husso figures to see the bulk of the workload, though James Reimer should also be in contention for some starts.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sustains injury Saturday Lyon (lower body) won't finish Saturday's game versus the Flyers, Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Lyon stopped 14 of 15 shots before exiting in the second period. Ville Husso took over in goal and would likely be the Red Wings' unquestioned No. 1 goalie if Lyon misses time, with James Reimer mixing in as backup. More information about Lyon's status should be available before Monday's game versus the Ducks.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will guard road net Saturday Lyon will start on the road against Philadelphia on Saturday, Derek Lalonde told Max Bultman of The Athletic on Friday.

Impact Lyon stopped 21 of 25 shots before being pulled after two periods in a 5-1 loss to Ottawa in his past start last Saturday. Despite that rough showing, he's been an effective backup in 2023-24, going 4-2-0 with a 2.13 GAA and a .931 save percentage in six contests this season. Philadelphia is tied for 21st offensively this year with 2.97 goals per game.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pulled after two periods Lyon allowed four goals on 25 shots in the first two periods of Saturday's 5-1 loss to Ottawa.

Impact The game got away from Detroit in the second period, when the Sens scored three times. It was Lyon's first loss in his last five games. He's been a big part of the Wings' recent success, so don't give this loss too much weight. Lyon was a revelation last season for the Panthers to help them get into the Cup playoffs, where they eventually lost in the Final. He's a sound netminder, but underrated. And that means Lyon is a fantasy find for managers who effectively play the wire.
