Alex Lyon - Page 3 - NHL News & Rumors

Set to miss time Lyon (lower body) won't be available for Wednesday's road game against Dallas, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Lyon is back in Buffalo for evaluation. He probably won't be an option for Saturday's game in Columbus, but a timeline for his return remains unclear. He has posted a 10-6-3 record this season with one shutout, a 2.82 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 21 appearances. With Lyon out, Colten Ellis (concussion) is poised to come off injured reserve to serve as Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen's backup against the Stars.

Suffers injury Monday Lyon suffered a lower-body injury in Monday's 4-2 win over St. Louis, according to Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News on Tuesday.

Impact Lyon didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, and it's unclear if he will be available for Wednesday's road matchup against Dallas. He has won his last seven outings while allowing only 15 goals on 185 shots. If Lyon misses game action, Colten Ellis (concussion) could come off injured reserve to push Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen for playing time.

Win streak up to seven Lyon stopped 16 of 18 shots on goal in Monday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

Impact Outside of a tough first period where he allowed two goals, Lyon shut down the Blues to help guide the Sabres to their ninth consecutive win. With Monday's victory, he is up to a 10-6-3 record with a .906 save percentage and a 2.82 GAA through 21 appearances this season. The 33-year-old netminder has been a large part of the Sabres' recent win streak and used Monday's win to raise his own win streak to seven straight appearances. A very small list of goalies are currently playing better than Lyon, who has a .919 save percentage and a 2.22 GAA during the team's win streak. He is a top waiver-wire add in all fantasy formats, and his next chance to take the ice is Wednesday in Dallas.

Set to face St. Louis Lyon is expected to start on the road against St. Louis, per Lou Korac of The Hockey News.

Impact Lyon will look to extend his personal winning streak to six games. He's allowed 13 goals on 167 shots (.922 save percentage) over that span. Lyon is up to a 9-6-3 record, 2.87 GAA and .907 save percentage in 20 appearances this season. The Blues rank last in goals per game with 2.51, so this is a favorable matchup for Lyon.

Impact The veteran netminder held Ottawa off the board in the third period and OT to secure his sixth straight win. Lyon has re-claimed the top spot in the Buffalo crease with the hot streak, and through seven outings in December he's posted a stellar 2.14 GAA and .924 save percentage to go along with his pristine 6-0-0 record.

Patrolling crease Tuesday Lyon will be in goal on the road against the Senators on Tuesday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Lyon is undefeated in his last five outings while posting a 2.31 GAA and .922 save percentage. With the 33-year-old netminder performing at this level, it seems head coach Lindy Ruff is content to ride the hot hand and utilize Lyon ahead of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen.

Holds on for shootout win Lyon stopped 32 of 34 shots on goal and registered a power-play assist in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Islanders.

Impact After Lyon allowed the game-tying goal with 29 seconds remaining in regulation, he bounced back quickly and made two crucial saves near the end of the shootout to help the Sabres secure the win. He also recorded a rare goalie helper on a power play for his first assist of the season. With the win, the 33-year-old goaltender now has an 8-6-3 record with a 2.92 GAA and a .906 save percentage through 19 outings this season. With Saturday's win, Lyon extended his win streak to five consecutive games and has completely flipped a switch during that run. Before the win streak, he had a sub-.900 save percentage and a 3.23 GAA. Over the last six games, he has a 2.17 GAA and a .924 save percentage. Lyon's proven ability to bounce back has been on full display as of late, making him a top waiver-wire pickup to stream in most two-goalie formats.
