"Gonna Be A Test" | Alex Lyon On Avalanche Matchup, Loss To Boston Bruins | Buffalo Sabres

OCTOBER 13, 2025 • YOUTUBE

Beaten twice Saturday Lyon stopped 28 of 30 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins. The third goal was an empty-netter with three seconds left in the game.

Impact Lyon was beaten once in the first period and once in the second, but despite having a solid outing between the pipes, he didn't get offensive support for the second game in a row. Lyon has gone 0-2-0 to open the season despite posting a save percentage of .905 or higher in both of his outings -- mainly because the Sabres have scored only one goal in those contests. His next chance to earn his first win of the season will come against the Avalanche on Monday.

Expected starter Saturday Lyon is set to guard the road crease against Boston on Saturday, per Scott McLaughlin of WEEI.

Impact Lyon will look to get into the win column after stopping 29 of 32 shots en route to a 4-0 loss to the Rangers in his season debut Thursday. Lyon is Buffalo's de facto No. 1 goaltender while Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) is unavailable. Lyon's role is expected to diminish once Luukkonen is healthy, but for now, Buffalo is likely to lean heavily on Lyon over Colten Ellis, who is currently serving as the backup.
