"Played One Hell Of A Game" | Lindy Ruff After OT Win In Edmonton | Buffalo Sabres

Collects overtime win Lyon stopped 21 of 24 shots he faced in relief of Colten Ellis (upper body) in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers.

Impact Lyon appeared in relief due to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen's poor performance Monday versus the Flames, and Ellis' injury opened the door for Lyon to get on the ice again. This outing saw Lyon earn his first win since Oct. 24 despite blowing a three-goal lead in the third period. The 33-year-old is now 4-6-3 with a 3.22 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 15 appearances. If Ellis misses time, Lyon and Luukkonen will battle for larger shares of playing time. The Sabres' road trip continues Thursday in Vancouver.

"Terrible Crap Out There" | Lindy Ruff On "Non-Calls" In Buffalo Sabres Loss To Calgary Flames

DECEMBER 9, 2025 • YOUTUBE

Needed in relief Monday Lyon stopped all four shots he faced after replacing Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen to begin the third period of Monday's 7-4 loss to the Flames.

Impact The switch had more to do with the poor play of the Sabres' defense than it did Luukkonen's performance, but Lyon did his part in giving Buffalo chance to mount a comeback from a 5-3 deficit. Lyon has started only one of the last 12 games, falling behind Luukkonen and Colton Ellis on the depth chart, but the team continues to carry three goalies rather than risk losing one on waivers. On the season, Lyon has a 3-6-3 record in 14 outings with a 3.16 GAA and .901 save percentage.

"Disappointing" | Alex Lyon After Buffalo Sabres Loss To New Jersey Devils | Buffalo Sabres

NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • YOUTUBE

Allows five goals Lyon stopped 18 of 23 attempts on goal in Friday's 5-0 loss to New Jersey.

Impact Lyon built a solid performance through two periods before he allowed three goals in the third. With the loss, the 32-year-old goaltender has a 3-6-3 record with a 3.23 GAA and a .899 save percentage through 13 outings this season. After a decent start to the campaign, Lyon is trending downward in fantasy and hasn't found the win column since Oct. 24. He has also dropped to third on the Sabres' depth chart behind Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Colten Ellis, who each have two wins or more in November. While Lyon remains off the fantasy radar for the time being, he could become a relevant streaming option if one of Buffalo's other two netminders picks up an injury.

Gets quick hook Thursday Lyon stopped one of three shots before he was relieved by Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact It was clear enough from the jump that Lyon didn't have it, prompting head coach Lindy Ruff to make a quick switch. That early move spared Lyon from taking the loss, but the 32-year-old's GAA rose from 2.92 to 3.07 while his save percentage dipped from .911 to .907 due to this poor outing. He's 3-5-3 on the year as well, and he if can't turn things around soon, he may cede some playing time to Luukkonen or Colten Ellis. The Sabres wrap up their current road trip in Detroit on Saturday.

Necas has 2 goals, 2 assists as Avalanche beat Sabres 6-3 for 5th straight win

In goal Thursday Lyon will start in goal on the road versus the Avalanche on Thursday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Impact This is contrary to a previous report that said Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen would start, but Lyon was the first goalie on the ice Thursday for warmups. Since the Sabres are carrying three goalies, it's unlikely this is an injury situation and simply just a mix-up. Lyon has lost his last four outings (0-1-3) with 14 goals allowed on 129 shots in that span.

Beaten four times Saturday Lyon stopped 29 of 33 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes. The other two goals were empty-netters late in the third period.

Impact Lyon was beaten once in the first period, twice in the second and once more in the third. The Sabres managed to reduce the deficit to one goal and decided to pull Lyon out late in the game, but Carolina took advantage of that to ice the game for good with two empty-netters. This was Lyon's fourth straight loss of the season. The 32-year-old has gone 0-1-3 with a 3.44 GAA and an .891 save percentage in that span. His last win came against the Maple Leafs on Oct. 24.
