Sabres' Alex Lyon: Wins 11th game in last 12 starts
Lyon made 38 saves in a 5-3 win over Florida on Monday.
It his 11th win in his past 12 starts. Lyon continues to explore uncharted territory this season. The 33-year-old netminder has never achieved the kind of success he has seen this year. Lyon is 14-7-3 with a dazzling 2.66 GAA, .914 save percentage and two shutouts in 24 starts (26 appearances). Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) hit the IR on Monday, and the extent of his injury is unknown. UPL is supposed to pull on a Finnish jersey at the Olympics, but that remains to be seen; so does his recovery arc. Lyon King's success will keep him in the blue paint a lot post-Olympics anyway -- the Sabres will play whomever will take them to the Stanley Cup promised land.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Starting Monday
Lyon will be between the pipes for Monday's road game against Florida, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
Lyon is coming off a 27-save effort in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Montreal, with the fourth goal being an empty-netter. He has a 13-7-3 record in 2025-26 with a 2.64 GAA, a .913 save percentage and two shutouts across 25 appearances. Florida sits 20th in the league with 3.00 goals per game this season.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Beaten three times Saturday
Lyon stopped 27 of 30 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens. The fourth goal was an empty-netter late in the third period.
Lyon had been in an impressive stretch of late, and this was his first defeat since Nov. 28, when he allowed five goals on 23 shots in a loss to the Devils. Lyon has a 1.77 GAA and a .945 save percentage in four outings in January, and while fantasy managers should continue to trust him, the upcoming stretch of road games against Florida and Tampa Bay is far from favorable for the 33-year-old netminder.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Facing Canadiens
Lyon will patrol the home crease against Montreal on Saturday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Lyon has won his last 10 outings while surrendering only 19 goals on 283 shots. He has three straight victories since returning to action from a lower-body injury against Nashville on Jan. 20. Lyon has a 13-6-3 record with a 2.62 GAA, a .914 save percentage and two shutouts in 24 appearances during the 2025-26 campaign. Montreal ranks fourth in the league with 3.43 goals per game this season.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Sharp in Thursday's win
Lyon made 37 saves in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Kings.
Adrian Kempe redirected a Kevin Fiala shot past the veteran netminder on a Los Angeles power play in the second period, but otherwise Lyon shut down the visitors completely. He's won three straight starts since returning from a lower-body injury, allowing a total of four goals on 98 shots (.959 save percentage), and as a result of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen dealing with a lower-body injury of his own, Lyon figures to be busy as the Sabres pack in four more games before the Olympic break begins.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Expected to start Thursday
Lyon is expected to start at home against the Kings on Thursday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Lyon has a 12-6-3 record, 2.70 GAA and .911 save percentage in 23 outings in 2025-26. Lyon has won his past nine appearances while stopping 227 of 245 shots (.927 save percentage) over that span, though that stretch includes the duration in which he didn't get into a game from Dec. 31 to Jan. 19 due to a lower-body injury. The Kings have won their past three games while outscoring the competition 12-8.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Blanks Islanders
Lyon made 26 saves in a 5-0 win over the Islanders on Saturday.
Lyon is on a roll, winning his last nine games. He had to be sharp Saturday, especially in the first two frames, when his teammates made more than a few bad decisions that led to chances. He made 13 saves in the first period alone, and he stood tall on a breakaway and made monster saves on a power play in the second. Lyon is 12-6-3 with a 2.70 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 23 appearances this season.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: In goal Saturday
Lyon will guard the road goal against the Islanders on Saturday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.
After missing nine games due to a lower-body injury, Lyon is coming off a 31-save performance in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Nashville. He has gone 11-6-3 this campaign with a 2.83 GAA, a .907 save percentage and one shutout in 22 appearances. The Islanders sit 24th in the league with 2.84 goals per game this season. However, the team will get an offensive boost with the return of Bo Horvat (lower body) in Saturday's matchup.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Wins in return to action
Lyon stopped 31 of 34 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Predators.
Lyon made his first appearance since Dec. 29 after missing nine games with a lower-body injury and being the backup of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen on Monday against the Hurricanes. Despite the absence, Lyon continued his superb run with his eighth straight win. During that span, he has posted a 2.32 GAA and an impressive .918 save percentage.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Set to start Tuesday
Lyon will guard the road goal versus the Predators, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Lyon backed up Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen on Monday versus the Hurricanes, and now he'll make his return to the crease a day later. Lyon had missed nine games due to a lower-body injury. Given Luukkonen's strong play in Lyon's absence, the Sabres' crease is likely to be a timeshare moving forward.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Activated Monday
Lyon (lower body) was taken off injured reserve Monday, per Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News.
Josh Norris (ribs) was put on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Lyon has a 10-6-3 record, 2.82 GAA and .906 save percentage in 21 outings in 2025-26. Now that he's healthy, Lyon will resume competing for starts with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Colten Ellis. Lyon could be regarded as the No. 1 option, but none of Buffalo's goaltenders are likely to be used as regularly as a typical starter as long as all three are on the active roster.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Practices Sunday
Lyon (lower body) participated in Sunday's practice, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports.
According to Lenzi, Lyon could be ready to return to the lineup at some point over the next four games. Buffalo begins a five-game road trip against Carolina on Monday. Lyon has missed nine straight outings and remains on injured reserve for now.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Out 7-10 more days
Lyon (lower body) is expected to miss about 7-10 days, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports Wednesday.
Lyon was riding a seven-game winning streak prior to getting hurt, registering a 2.22 GAA along the way. Once given the all-clear, the 33-year-old backstop should be in the mix to at least split the workload with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, if he does not reclaim the No. 1 job outright.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Moves to IR
Lyon (lower body) was moved to injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.
Lyon will miss his third straight game against Vancouver on Tuesday after being injured in a 4-2 win over St. Louis on Dec. 29. He is day-to-day, but it's unclear when he will be available to return to the lineup. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will probably see the majority of the starts during Lyon's absence, while Colten Ellis serves as the backup.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Set to miss time
Lyon (lower body) won't be available for Wednesday's road game against Dallas, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports.
Lyon is back in Buffalo for evaluation. He probably won't be an option for Saturday's game in Columbus, but a timeline for his return remains unclear. He has posted a 10-6-3 record this season with one shutout, a 2.82 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 21 appearances. With Lyon out, Colten Ellis (concussion) is poised to come off injured reserve to serve as Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen's backup against the Stars.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Suffers injury Monday
Lyon suffered a lower-body injury in Monday's 4-2 win over St. Louis, according to Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News on Tuesday.
Lyon didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, and it's unclear if he will be available for Wednesday's road matchup against Dallas. He has won his last seven outings while allowing only 15 goals on 185 shots. If Lyon misses game action, Colten Ellis (concussion) could come off injured reserve to push Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen for playing time.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Win streak up to seven
Lyon stopped 16 of 18 shots on goal in Monday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
Outside of a tough first period where he allowed two goals, Lyon shut down the Blues to help guide the Sabres to their ninth consecutive win. With Monday's victory, he is up to a 10-6-3 record with a .906 save percentage and a 2.82 GAA through 21 appearances this season. The 33-year-old netminder has been a large part of the Sabres' recent success and used Monday's victory to raise his own win streak to seven straight appearances. A very small list of goalies are currently playing better than Lyon, who has a .919 save percentage and a 2.22 GAA during the team's win streak. He is a top waiver-wire add in all fantasy formats, and his next chance to take the ice is Wednesday in Dallas.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Set to face St. Louis
Lyon is expected to start on the road against St. Louis, per Lou Korac of The Hockey News.
Lyon will look to extend his personal winning streak to seven games. He's allowed 13 goals on 167 shots (.922 save percentage) during the streak. Lyon is up to a 9-6-3 record, 2.87 GAA and .907 save percentage in 20 appearances this season. The Blues rank last in goals per game with 2.51, so this is a favorable matchup for Lyon.
