Alex Lyon - Page 5 - NHL News & Rumors

Battling undisclosed injury Lyon isn't an option for Wednesday's road game against the Rangers due to an undisclosed injury, per Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.

Impact Head coach Lindy Ruff described Lyon's injury as a tweak, so it might be a short-term issue. Ruff also said that Lyon wasn't scheduled to dress Wednesday anyway, so his injury won't influence Buffalo's plans against the Rangers. Either Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen or Colten Ellis will get the start, and the other will serve as the understudy.

Gets the hook Saturday Lyon stopped 2 of 5 shots on net in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Lyon struggled in Saturday's contest, allowing two goals across 20 seconds early in the first period before surrendering a third just over two minutes later. He was ultimately pulled in favor of Colten Ellis, but Lyon would still be tagged with the loss. Overall, the 33-year-old netminder now has a 20-10-4 record, a 2.77 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 36 outings this season. After posting a six-game win streak to resume play following the Olympic break, Lyon has struggled over his last three outings with an 0-2-1 record, a 6.24 GAA and a .772 save percentage across three outings. His next chance to get back on track before the playoffs is Monday against the Lightning.

First out for warmups Lyon led the team out for warmups and will start Saturday against the Capitals, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lyon had been in a pretty even rotation during most of March with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, but the latter started the previous three games in a row en route to the Sabres clinching their first playoff berth in 14 seasons. With that out of the way, Lyon will return to the net Saturday against the Capitals. The 33-year-old is 20-9-4 on the season with a 2.69 GAA and a .909 save percentage. The Capitals enter Saturday winners of three of their past four games, scoring 21 combined goals in those contests.

Struggles against Red Wings Lyon stopped 15 of 19 shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Lyon took his second straight defeat, and he's allowed 10 goals on 52 shots over those games. He won six outings in a row, so this may be a bit of regression, but the Sabres can't afford to have him slumping while they battle for the top of the Atlantic Division. Lyon is down to 20-9-4 with a 2.69 GAA and a .909 save percentage over 35 appearances this season. Look for Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen to get the nod Saturday versus the Kraken, but Lyon would be in line to start Tuesday against the Islanders if the Sabres continue to alternate goalie starts.

Patrolling home paint Lyon will start Friday's home game against the Red Wings, per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

Impact Lyon will look to bounce back after being handed just his third loss of the calendar year in Sunday's game. Overall, the 33-year-old netminder has a 20-8-4 record, a 2.65 GAA and a .911 save percentage across 34 outings this season. He'll face off against his former team Friday for the first time since he left Detroit a year ago. The Red Wings rank 21st in the NHL with 2.89 goals per game, giving Lyon a favorable matchup and solid fantasy value for Friday's clash.

Yields six goals in overtime loss Lyon stopped 27 of 33 shots in Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Impact Lyon's six-game winning streak came to an end with one of his worst outings of the season. He had not given up more than three goals in any game during his streak. The 33-year-old is at a 20-8-4 record with a 2.64 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 34 contests this season. Lyon and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen have alternated starts lately, and one hiccup by Lyon shouldn't be enough to cause head coach Lindy Ruff to deviate from that pattern. If it holds, Luukkonen would face the Bruins on Wednesday while Lyon's next start would be against the Red Wings on Friday.

Logs shutout for sixth straight win Lyon posted a 23-save shutout in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Sharks.

Impact This was Lyon's sixth straight win, a span in which he's allowed just 11 goals. The 33-year-old got plenty of support from his teammates in this contest as well, which was his third shutout of the campaign. He's up to 20-8-3 with a 2.54 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 33 appearances this season. He's one win shy of matching his career-best total from the 2023-24 campaign when he was with the Red Wings. Lyon and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen continue to alternate starts, which lines up Luukkonen for Saturday in Los Angeles and Lyon for Sunday in Anaheim.

Impact Lyon is having a strong campaign with a 19-8-3 record, 2.62 GAA and .912 save percentage across 32 outings. Playing on the road hasn't been an issue for him either. He's 9-3-1 with a 2.54 GAA and a .915 save percentage in 15 road outings this season. The Sharks have one of the league's best forwards in Macklin Celebrini, but their overall offense is just average -- San Jose ranks 18th in goals per game with 3.11.
