Starting in Montreal Lyon will be between the road pipes in Game 3 against the Canadiens on Sunday, per Heather Engel of NHL.com.
Impact Lyon has given up six goals on 55 shots (.891 save percentage) through the first two games of this second-round series. The Minnesota native had his worst outing of the postseason Friday, surrendering four goals on 27 shots in Friday's Game 2 loss. If Lyon and the Sabres drop Game 3, it's a possibility head coach Lindy Ruff turns back to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in goal to shake things up.

Shaky effort in Game 2 loss Lyon stopped 23 of 27 shots Friday in the Sabres' 5-1 loss to the Canadiens in Game 2 of their second-round series, with Montreal's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
Impact The 33-year-old netminder has to deal with Buffalo defenders simply falling down and allowing scoring chances on multiple occasions, but Lyon also wasn't at his sharpest and would probably like another crack at Mike Matheson's game-winner early in the first period, a long-range shot into the top corner that the goalie got a clean look at. It was the first time this postseason Lyon gave up more than two goals, and it shouldn't cost him his starting job. He'll take a 1.73 GAA and .934 save percentage through seven playoff outings into Game 3 on Sunday in Montreal.
