Lyon is expected to start at home in Friday's preseason game against Chicago, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports Thursday. Lyon had a 21-18-5 record, 3.05 GAA and .904 save percentage in 44 regular-season contests in 2023-24. The plan is for Lyon to serve for two periods Friday before Cam Talbot steps in for the third frame. Talbot is projected to be the Red Wings' No. 1 goalie in 2024-25, but with Lyon and Ville Husso also set to make the team, it's going to be difficult for any one netminder to rack up a lot of starts in Detroit.
