Sabres' Alex Lyon: Fourth straight win
Lyon made 17 saves in a 6-3 win over San Jose on Tuesday.
Lyon has won his last four starts and continues to deliver career numbers. He is 18-8-3 with two shutouts, a 2.65 GAA and .914 save percentage. Lyon is in a strict alternating platoon with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, which means UPL will likely take on the Caps on Thursday, with Lyon back in the paint Saturday against the Maple Leafs.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Nabs third straight win
Lyon made 23 saves in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Predators.
The 33-year-old netminder has been working in a timeshare with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen since the Olympic break, and the arrangement seems to be working well for Lyon -- he's won all three of his starts since the break, allowing exactly two goals in each. Since returning from a lower-body injury in late January, Lyon's gone 7-2-0 with a 2.25 GAA and .930 save percentage.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Knight slayer
Lyon made 27 saves in a 3-2 win over Vegas on Tuesday.
The Sabres staked him to a 3-0 lead before he wobbled slightly in the second. On the first goal, Lyon was headed left for a save when Ivan Barbashev grabbed a rebound and scored on a wraparound at the opposite post. The second came 1:37 later when Pavel Dorofeyev scored five-hole on a breakaway. Lyon has won both games he has played since the break; he allowed four goals total. He's 16-8-3 with a 2.66 GAA, .915 save percentage and two shutouts in 27 starts this season. Best of all, he has helped propel the Sabres to within two points of first in the Atlantic Division.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Pockets win against former club
Lyon made 28 saves in Friday's 3-2 win over the Panthers.
Facing the team that helped him turn his career around in 2022-23, Lyon was locked in and couldn't be faulted for either of Florida's goals -- one came on a second-period power play for the Panthers, while the other came late in the third when Rasmus Dahlin tried to clear a puck out of the crease and instead banked it into the net off the back of Lyon's legs. The veteran netminder has won five of seven starts since returning from a lower-body injury in late January, going 5-2-0 with a 2.32 GAA and .930 save percentage.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Starting in Florida
Lyon will guard the visiting cage in Florida on Friday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
Lyon is having a stellar year between the pipes, his best to date in the NHL. He is 14-8-3 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.72 GAA and a .913 save percentage over 27 contests this season. The 33-year-old netminder will face a tired Florida team, who beat the Maple Leafs 5-1 on Thursday.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Stumbles versus Penguins
Lyon allowed four goals on 31 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Penguins. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Lyon took just his second loss in six games since he returned from a lower-body injury. This wasn't a pretty one -- it was the first time he allowed more than three goals since Nov. 28 versus the Devils. Lyon is down to 14-8-3 with a 2.72 GAA and a .913 save percentage over 27 appearances. Lyon has often been the Sabres' best goalie this season, and he should handle the bulk of the starts until Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) can return.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Gets starting nod Thursday
Lyon will be between the pipes at home against the Penguins on Thursday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
Lyon is 4-1-0 with a 2.02 GAA and one shutout in his last five outings and has racked up 14 wins this year, matching his 2024-25 total. In fact, the veteran backstop could set a new career-best mark and top the 21 victories he recorded with the Red Wings back in 2023-24, especially if Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen remains sidelined after the Olympic break.

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.
