Picks up third win Lyon stopped 29 of 32 shots in Friday's 5-3 win over the Maple Leafs.
Impact Lyon did well enough to hold off Toronto in the first game of the two teams' home-and-home set this weekend. This was his third win in his last four outings. The 32-year-old is now 3-4-0 with a 2.61 GAA and a .922 save percentage across seven starts this season. The Sabres didn't announce their goaltending plans for Saturday's game in Toronto, but it could be the season debut of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, who was removed from injured reserve Thursday.

Slated to start Friday Lyon is expected to defend the home crease against the Maple Leafs on Friday, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Lyon got his first night off Wednesday against the Red Wings, but he'll return to the crease in the first half of a back-to-back set Friday. Over his first six starts of the season, he's gone 2-4-0 with a 2.54 GAA and .924 save percentage.

Stuck with loss against Habs Lyon turned aside 27 of 30 shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to Montreal, with the Canadiens' final goal getting scored into an empty net.
Impact The 32-year-old netminder was beaten only once in the first 40 minutes, but the Sabres' defense broke down in the third, leading to tallies by Juraj Slafkovsky and Lane Hutson. Lyon has started every game for Buffalo to begin the season, going 2-4-0 with a 2.54 GAA and .924 save percentage, and he's played well enough to hang onto the No. 1 job even after Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) gets healthy.

Draws road start Lyon will be between the road pipes against the Canadiens on Monday, according to Heather Engel of NHL.com.
Impact Lyon has won back-to-back games after starting the 2025-26 campaign with an 0-3-0 record. The Minnesota native registered a 32-save shutout against the Panthers on Saturday, putting him at 2-3-0 with a .929 save percentage and a 2.43 GAA. Montreal has netted at least three goals in five consecutive games, so Lyon will have a stiff test in this road tilt.

Blanks champs for second win Lyon stopped 32 shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Panthers.
Impact The 32-year-old netminder got staked to an early lead thanks to a pair of Josh Doan power-play tallies, and Lyon was able to handle Florida's attempts at a comeback. It was the fifth career shutout for Lyon, and his first of the season, and through five starts he's gone 2-3-0 with a 2.43 GAA and .929 save percentage. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) returned to practice Tuesday but doesn't yet have a target date for his return, so Lyon will continue handling the No. 1 role for the Sabres until UPL is cleared to get back in the crease.

Starting Saturday Lyon will be between the home pipes versus Florida on Saturday, according to Heather Engel of NHL.com.
Impact Lyon will make his fifth straight start as Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is still out of action with a lower-body injury suffered during training camp. Lyon finally picked up his first win of the season Wednesday, stopping 33 shots in an 8-4 win over Ottawa. Lyon is 1-3-0 with a 3.05 GAA and a .912 save percentage. The Panthers are averaging 2.50 goals per game this season.

Wobbles in big win Lyon made 32 saves in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Senators.
Impact The veteran netminder wasn't exactly sharp, giving up two goals early in the third period to make things interesting after the Sabres had taken a 5-2 lead into the second intermission, but his teammates made sure the game never got any closer. Lyon is handling No. 1 duties while Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) is on the shelf, starting all four Buffalo games to begin the season and going 1-3-0 with a 3.05 GAA and .911 save percentage, but UPL returned to practice Tuesday and could be ready for his 2025-26 debut soon.
