Alex Lyon - Page 13 - NHL News & Rumors

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.

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.

Receiving starting nod Lyon will guard the home goal versus the Senators on Wednesday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Impact Lyon has opened the season 0-3-0 this season, but his play has been solid with just eight goals allowed on 99 shots over his three starts. He continues to occupy the starting role while the Sabres wait for Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) to recover. Lyon should still see a decent share of starts when Luukkonen returns, assuming Lyon's performance doesn't dip.

Falls to Avs Lyon allowed three goals on 37 shots in a 3-1 defeat to the Avalanche on Monday.

Impact Lyon made his third straight start for the Sabres while Ukka-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) remains unavailable. At this point, it wouldn't be a shock to see the team give Colten Ellis a look between the pipes even though there isn't a back-to-back on the short-term schedule. Still, until Luukkonen is cleared to return, Lyon should see the bulk of the workload.
