Falls to Bruins in OT Lyon stopped 27 shots Tuesday in the Sabres' 2-1 overtime loss to the Bruins in Game 5 of their first-round series.

Impact The Sabres grabbed an early 1-0 lead on a Rasmus Dahlin power-play tally in the first period, but their offense went cold the rest of the way and gave Lyon no margin for error. The 33-year-old netminder has still given up just four goals on 78 shots (.949 save percentage) in his three starts during the series, and he'll get another shot at leading Buffalo into the second round in Game 6 on Friday.

Sharp in Game 3 start Lyon made 24 saves Thursday during the Sabres' 3-1 win over the Bruins in Game 3 of their first-round series.

Impact A Tanner Jeannot tally early in the second period spoiled his shutout bid, but Lyon still delivered a strong performance in his first start of the postseason. The 33-year-old netminder appears to be coach Lindy Ruff's top choice between the pipes after Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen gave up seven goals on 40 shots (.825 save percentage) in the first two games of the season, positioning Lyon to get the nod again in Game 4 on Sunday.
