Lyon is expected to start in Friday's home preseason contest against Ottawa, per Ansar Khan of MLive.com on Wednesday.
Cam Talbot is slated to serve between the pipes in Thursday's home contest versus Toronto. Lyon had a 21-18-5 record, 3.05 GAA and .904 save percentage in 44 games with Detroit in 2023-24. He'll be competing with Talbot and Ville Husso for starts in 2024-25. With Detroit's crease crowded, it's possible that no member of the trio will get much more than 40 starts over the course of the upcoming campaign.
