Guarding goal Thursday Lyon will start in goal for Thursday's home game versus the Flyers, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Impact Lyon has won three straight outings, allowing six goals on 80 shots in that span. The Flyers have scored 17 goals over their last six games, going 2-1-3 in that span, so this could end up being a fairly close game.

Picks up win Sunday Lyon stopped 23 of 24 shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

Impact Lyon picked up his third straight win, and he's allowed just six goals on 78 shots in that span. It looks like Lyon is gaining some momentum for the Sabres, though he'll still need to compete with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen for playing time. On the year, Lyon is 6-6-3 with a 2.99 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 17 appearances. If he continues to see most of the starts, he could be a decent depth goalie for fantasy as long as the results go his way. The Sabres' next game is at home Thursday versus the Flyers.

Between pipes in Seattle Lyon will patrol the road blue paint Sunday in Seattle, according to Joe Pohoryles of Emerald City Spectrum.

Impact Lyon is coming off back-to-back victories in Edmonton and Vancouver following a seven-game winless stretch. The 33-year-old has a 2.96 GAA and a .911 save percentage during his modest two-game winning streak. This could be a favorable matchup for Lyon, as the Kraken have dropped seven of their last eight matchups and have generated just 2.52 goals per game this season, which is the second-worst mark in the NHL.

Steady in win Lyon stopped 30 of 32 shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact Lyon's got a chance to claim a larger share of playing time while Colten Ellis (concussion) is on injured reserve. This was Lyon's second straight win, and he's allowed five goals on 56 shots in that span. For the season, the 33-year-old netminder is at a 5-6-3 record with a 3.13 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 16 appearances. Lyon will probably struggle to consistently earn wins, but he's been a passable fantasy goalie when he's getting enough playing time.

First goalie off Thursday Lyon was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Vancouver.

Impact Lyon was in the starter's crease during Thursday's morning skate, and although he briefly left the ice with an apparent injury, he returned shortly later and should serve as the starting netminder against the Canucks. The Canucks are scoring 2.77 goals per game this season, which is tied for the eighth-worst mark in the league.

"Played One Hell Of A Game" | Lindy Ruff After OT Win In Edmonton | Buffalo Sabres

DECEMBER 10, 2025 • YOUTUBE

Collects overtime win Lyon stopped 21 of 24 shots he faced in relief of Colten Ellis (upper body) in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers.

Impact Lyon appeared in relief due to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen's poor performance Monday versus the Flames, and Ellis' injury opened the door for Lyon to get on the ice again. This outing saw Lyon earn his first win since Oct. 24 despite blowing a three-goal lead in the third period. The 33-year-old is now 4-6-3 with a 3.22 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 15 appearances. If Ellis misses time, Lyon and Luukkonen will battle for larger shares of playing time. The Sabres' road trip continues Thursday in Vancouver.

"Terrible Crap Out There" | Lindy Ruff On "Non-Calls" In Buffalo Sabres Loss To Calgary Flames

DECEMBER 9, 2025 • YOUTUBE

Needed in relief Monday Lyon stopped all four shots he faced after replacing Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen to begin the third period of Monday's 7-4 loss to the Flames.

Impact The switch had more to do with the poor play of the Sabres' defense than it did Luukkonen's performance, but Lyon did his part in giving Buffalo chance to mount a comeback from a 5-3 deficit. Lyon has started only one of the last 12 games, falling behind Luukkonen and Colton Ellis on the depth chart, but the team continues to carry three goalies rather than risk losing one on waivers. On the season, Lyon has a 3-6-3 record in 14 outings with a 3.16 GAA and .901 save percentage.
