ALEX LYON NEWS

Comes up short in OT Lyon made 18 saves in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.

Impact Buffalo out-shot the home squad 40-22 on the night, but Boston made its chances count in regulation and then got the only three shots on net in OT. Lyon's strong start to the season may be fading -- he's allowed 10 goals on 103 shots while going 1-1-1 over his last three outings, as he works in a timeshare with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen.

First goalie off Lyon was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Boston.

Impact After beginning the season as the Sabres' primary netminder, Lyon has lost out on some playing time recently since Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is now healthy. However, Lyon will be in the crease for the third time in the Sabres' last four games. Lyon made a start in Boston on Oct. 11, turning aside 28 of 30 shots (.933 save percentage) in an overtime loss.

Falls to Jackets in OT Lyon made 35 saves in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Columbus.

Impact The Sabres had 2-1 and 3-2 leads, but Lyon couldn't make them hold up, although he could hardly be blamed for any of the pucks that got past him. The veteran netminder continues to see a high volume of rubber behind a shaky Sabres defense, getting peppered with at least 30 shots in all eight of his starts en route to a 3-4-1 record, 2.77 GAA and .919 save percentage. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made his season debut Saturday after recovering from a lower-body injury, and the duo figure to work in a tandem in the short term, but Lyon has built a strong case to maintain a significant role in the crease.

Expected to feature Tuesday Lyon is slated to defend the cage at home versus the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Lyon will make his eighth appearance in the crease over the Sabres' first 10 contests, having posted a 3-4-0 record and 2.61 GAA in his prior seven outings. Still, with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen back from a lower-body injury, the 32-year-old Lyon is likely to see a dip in starts, especially if the team keeps Colten Ellis on the NHL roster.

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.
