Alex Lyon - Page 7 - NHL News & Rumors

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.

Gets Saturday's start Lyon will be between the home pipes versus Ottawa on Saturday, per Ansar Khan of MLive.com.

Impact Lyon has won four straight games, giving up only five goals on 121 shots. He is 4-1-0 with a 1.61 GAA and .947 save percentage this season as he is after Ville Husso's hold on the No. 1 job with the Red Wings. The Senators have found the back of the net 72 times in 21 games this season.

Hangs on for fourth straight win Lyon made 29 saves in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sabres.

Impact The 30-year-old netminder kept Buffalo off the board until late in the second period, but Lyon needed every bit of the 4-0 lead he'd been given as the Sabres' offense roared to life with three straight goals, including two on the power play. He's pushed his way into a timeshare with Ville Husso with four straight wins, and through his first five starts of the season, Lyon boasts a dazzling 1.61 GAA and .947 save percentage.

Tending twine Tuesday Lyon will defend the road cage against the Sabres on Tuesday, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

Impact Lyon is riding a three-game winning streak during which he recorded a 0.67 GAA, .978 save percentage and one shutout. With the Red Wings continuing to carry three backstops on the 23-man roster, there will be limited opportunities for Lyon to start, even with his impressive run of performances.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cruises to third win Lyon turned aside 34 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over Chicago.

Impact Lukas Reichel beat him on the power play early in the first period, but Lyon shut the door the rest of the way as the Red Wings' offense took over. The 30-year-old netminder has started three of the last five games and won them all while allowing only two total goals, and Lyon appears to be working his way into a timeshare with Ville Husso -- leaving James Reimer as the odd man out in the crease for Detroit.

Slated to start Thursday Lyon is expected to guard the home crease against Chicago on Thursday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Impact Lyon had to wait until Nov. 17 to make his season debut because he was the No. 3 goaltender in the depth charts behind Ville Husso and James Reimer. Lyon has taken advantage of what work he's been given though, posting a 2-1-0 record, 1.35 GAA and .952 save percentage in three contests this campaign. Thanks to his strong play, this will be his fourth start in the span of six games. The Blackhawks rank 29th offensively this year with 2.65 goals per contest.

Sharp in win over Wild Lyon turned aside 37 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Joel Eriksson Ek beat him on a Minnesota power play late in the first period, but otherwise Lyon had an answer for everything fired his way. The 30-year-old has started three of the last four games for his first action of the season, going 2-1-0 and allowing only four goals on 83 shots for a .952 save percentage. Ville Husso and James Reimer had seen all the starts in the crease for the Wings until their trip to Sweden for the Global Series earlier this month, but Lyon is playing too well right now to be relegated to the press box.

Starting Sunday Lyon will patrol the home crease versus Minnesota on Sunday, per Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News.

Impact Lyon played twice in a row, a 3-2 loss versus Toronto in Sweden on Nov. 17 and a 4-0 shutout win over New Jersey on Wednesday in which he stopped all 16 shots. The Wild are 19th in NHL scoring, averaging 3.06 goals per game.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Barely tested in shutout win Lyon stopped all 16 shots he faced in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

Impact The ice was tilted all night, as the Red Wings finished with a 28-16 edge in shots. Detroit spotted Lyon a 3-0 lead with three goals over a 1:12 span in the first period, and New Jersey didn't push back much after that point as Lyon cruised to his first win of the season and second career shutout. Lyon will hope that this strong effort earns him more playing time at the expense of Ville Husso or James Reimer.

Starting Wednesday Lyon will patrol the home crease Wednesday against New Jersey, per Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site.

Impact Lyon, who will make his second straight start, is coming off a 26-save effort in Friday's 3-2 loss to Toronto during his season debut. The Devils rank sixth in the league this campaign with 3.69 goals per game.

NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lead slips away in season debut Lyon turned aside 26 shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to Toronto.

Impact The 30-year-old netminder was making his first start of the season and took a shutout into the third period of the Global Series game in Stockholm, but the Maple Leafs line of William Nylander, John Tavares and Tyler Bertuzzi took turns getting pucks past him as Detroit's defense wilted under the pressure. Lyon will go back to being the Red Wings' No. 3 netminder when Ville Husso (personal) rejoins the club back in North America, and while he played well Friday, it could be a while before he gets his next chance in the crease.

Set to face Leafs Lyon is expected to start versus Toronto in Friday's Global Series contest in Sweden, per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

Impact James Reimer started for the Red Wings in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss, so it's not surprising that Lyon is getting the assignment for the second half of the back-to-back. No. 1 netminder Ville Husso isn't an option because he's back in Detroit to be with his wife, who gave birth to their first child. This will be Lyon's first start of the 2023-24 campaign after posting a 9-4-2 record, 2.89 GAA and .912 save percentage in 15 outings last year. Toronto ranks ninth offensively this campaign with 3.53 goals per contest.

Does his part in preseason tilt Lyon set aside 25 of 28 shots in Thursday's 4-3, preseason overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Lyon, who is competing with veteran James Riemer for the No. 2 roster spot in Detroit's goal, played the entire game with Toronto dressing most of its regulars, ultimately earning praise from Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde. "Big saves and doesn't seem to be vulnerable to a soft goal," Lalonde said of Lyon. "You have to earn your goals against him, that's all you ask for of a goalie. He's had a solid camp." Lyon has a 16-11-5 record, 3.05 GAA and .903 save percentage between career stops in Philadelphia, Carolina and Florida.

Signs two-year deal with Detroit Lyon signed a two-year, $1.8 million contract with the Red Wings on Saturday, per PuckPedia

Impact Lyon posted a 9-4-2 record with a 2.89 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 15 appearances with Florida last season. Detroit also signed netminder James Reimer on Saturday, so Lyon will have some competition for the backup role behind Ville Husso going into the 2023-24 campaign.

Allows three goals in relief Lyon turned aside 12 of 15 shots in relief in a 7-2 loss to Vegas in Game 2 on Monday.

Impact Lyon entered the contest at 7:10 of the second period after Sergei Bobrovsky surrendered four goals on 13 shots. Lyon held the fort for the remainder of the frame, but then was beaten three times on 10 shots in the third period, stifling any hope of a comeback. Still, the 30-year-old wasn't charged with the loss, so his playoff record remains at 1-2 this year. He also has a 3.63 GAA and an .888 save percentage in four postseason outings.

First off Tuesday Lyon was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate ahead of Tuesday night's Game 1 versus Toronto, TSN's Chris Johnston reports.

Impact The fact that Lyon was the first goalie off the ice at morning practice would generally suggest he's on track to start between the pipes Tuesday, but that'd be a bit of a surprising move for coach Paul Maurice after Sergei Bobrovsky secured three straight wins to close out the first round against the Bruins, helping propel the Panthers to the second round. Which netminder will ultimately get the nod for Game 1 against the Maple Leafs likely won't be confirmed until Florida takes the ice for pregame warmups.

Gets hook in Friday's loss Lyon stopped 23 of 26 shots before being replaced by Sergei Bobrovsky midway through the third period Friday in a 4-2 loss to the Bruins during Game 3 of the Panthers' first-round...

Impact Florida likely wouldn't even be in the playoffs were it not for Lyon's somewhat miraculous late-season run, but the magic could be wearing off for the 30-year-old netminder. He sports a 3.26 GAA and .902 save percentage to begin the postseason, and while coach Paul Maurice was non-committal after the game, Bobrovsky could be poised to make his first start since March 27 in Game 4 on Sunday as the Panthers try to avoid falling into a 3-1 series hole.
