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.

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.
