  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Hangs on for third win

    Lyon made 22 saves in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Islanders.

    The Red Wings were unable to solve Ilya Sorokin until the final five minutes of the third period, but Lyon kept them in the game until then and got rewarded with the comeback win. It's the first win for the veteran netminder since Oct. 22 after a lower-body injury cost him time in early November, and on the season Lyon is 3-4-0 over eight appearances with a 2.84 GAA and .908 save percentage.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Gets starting nod for Thursday

    Lyon will be between the pipes for Thursday's home matchup with the Islanders, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

    Lyon has appeared in just three of the Red Wings' last 11 contests, losing all three games while giving up 15 goals on 95 combined shots (.842 save percentage). Despite his recent struggles, the team will go back to the 31-year-old for Thursday's matchup, which likely means fantasy players can expect to see Cam Talbot between the home pipes against the Bruins on Saturday.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Struggles in return

    Lyon (lower body) allowed five goals on 28 shots in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Ducks. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

    Lyon gave up a goal in each of the first two periods and three more in the third as the Ducks pulled off a comeback. This was his first action since Oct. 30, as he had lost his share of the crease before missing a week with the injury. Lyon is now 2-4-0 with a 3.13 GAA and a .903 save percentage over seven appearances this season. Cam Talbot is likely to start in goal versus the Kings on Saturday.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Slated to start Friday

    Lyon (lower body) is expected to start on the road against Anaheim on Friday, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

    Lyon last played between the pipes Oct. 30, when he stopped 23 of 29 shots en route to a 6-2 loss to Winnipeg. Anaheim figures to be a far easier adversary -- the 5-8-2 Ducks rank 32nd offensively with just 2.20 goals per game. Lyon has a 2-3-0 record, 2.78 GAA and .916 save percentage over six appearances in 2024-25.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Good to go for road trip

    Lyon (lower body) is expected to be available to play for Friday's game versus the Ducks, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Lyon was expected to be available at some point during the Red Wings' road trip through California. With the team sending down Ville Husso following Wednesday's game versus the Penguins, it appears Lyon has been given the all clear. Detroit plays in Anaheim on Friday and in Los Angeles on Saturday, so expect Lyon to start one of those contests.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Could return during road trip

    Lyon (lower body) won't be in the lineup for Wednesday's matchup in Pittsburgh but could return during Detroit's four-game road trip, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

    Lyon participated in Tuesday's practice and is getting close to returning to action. Cam Talbot will start against the Penguins, while Ville Husso will be the backup. The 31-year-old Lyon has a 2-3-0 record with a 2.78 GAA and a .916 save percentage through six appearances this season

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Skates before practice Monday

    Lyon (lower body) skated before Monday's practice session, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

    Lyon suffered a lower-body injury Thursday that led to him being scratched from Friday's game against the Maple Leafs. While head coach Derek Lalonde didn't offer an update beyond Lyon's return to the ice Monday, it's certainly encouraging to see the goaltender skating. It's not yet clear when Lyon will be able to return to game action.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Suffers lower-body injury

    Lyon suffered a lower-body injury Thursday and will not dress against the Maple Leafs on Friday, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

    Lyon was slated to get the start in goal in Toronto, but Cam Talbot will now get the call. The Red Wings recalled Ville Husso from the AHL on an emergency basis to back up Talbot. Lyon has lost his last two starts, allowing 10 goals on 67 shots and is 2-3-1 with a 2.78 GAA and a .916 save percentage in six appearances this season.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Tending twine Friday

    Lyon will guard the cage on the road against the Maple Leafs on Friday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Lyon is currently stuck in a two-game losing streak in which he gave up 10 goals on 67 shots (.851 save percentage) and has had to watch Cam Talbot start the Wings' last two contests. A matchup with the star-studded Leafs -- though Auston Matthews (upper body) is a doubt -- isn't exactly the best way to get Lyon back on track, but Detroit's back-to-back, with the Rangers at home Saturday, didn't leave the coaching staff with any good options.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Thumped by Jets

    Lyon made 23 saves in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to Winnipeg.

    The Jets grabbed a 3-0 lead in the first period and never trailed in the game, saddling Lyon with his second straight loss and third of the season. The veteran goalie saw a heavy workload early but appears to have fallen back into a timeshare with Cam Talbot -- and he may not be done falling, having allowed 10 goals on 47 shots over his last two starts. Despite those stumbles, Lyon still has a 2.78 GAA and .916 save percentage in six appearances.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Slated to start Wednesday

    Lyon is expected to start Wednesday's home game against Winnipeg, according to Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site.

    Lyon allowed four goals on 38 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Buffalo. He has a 2-2-0 record with one shutout, a 2.05 GAA and a .940 save percentage through five appearances this season. Winnipeg has compiled 40 goals in nine games en route to an 8-1-0 start to the 2024-25 campaign.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Bounced by Buffalo

    Lyon stopped 34 of 38 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres, with Buffalo's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

    The 31-year-old netminder has started three of the last four games for Detroit, but Lyon gave up more than three goals Saturday for the first time this season. He had little chance on any of them, and the game-winner came on a Bowen Byram point shot that Lyon stopped, only for the rebound to deflect in off the back of Jeff Petry's leg. Lyon has a 2-2-0 record, 2.05 GAA and .940 save percentage through five appearances, and for now he appears to have a slight edge over Cam Talbot for playing time in the Wings' crease.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Facing Sabres

    Lyon will protect the visiting crease in Buffalo on Saturday, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

    Lyon has been sharing the net with Cam Talbot thus far in the early going. Lyon is coming off a 1-0 shutout win over the Islanders on Tuesday, stopping 29 shots. He is 2-1-0 with a 1.46 GAA and a .955 save percentage in four appearances this season. The Sabres have found the back of the net 25 times in eight games.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Bricked up twine tent

    Lyon made 29 saves in a 1-0 win over the Islanders on Tuesday.

    It was Lyon's first shutout this season and the fourth of his NHL career. The Islanders had their feet on the gas most of the game, but Lyon adroitly turned them away, wave by wave. He is 2-1-0 on the season with a 1.46 GAA and a .955 save percentage. Right now, Lyon is rising to the occasion and winning, so consider him an option for your blue paint whenever he's in there.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Guarding road goal Tuesday

    Lyon is slated to guard the road goal against the Islanders on Tuesday, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

    Lyon is coming off a 5-2 victory over Nashville on Saturday in which he stopped 37 of 39 shots. He's 1-1-0 with a 2.07 GAA and a .938 save percentage through three appearances this season. The Islanders rank 26th offensively with 2.60 goals per game, so this looks like a favorable matchup for Lyon.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Shines in Saturday's win

    Lyon stopped 37 shots in a 5-2 victory over Nashville on Saturday.

    Lyon was superb in the game, especially in the third period when he stopped 15 shots. He has a 1-1-0 record through three appearances this season, surrendering five goals on 81 shots.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Guarding cage Saturday

    Lyon will patrol the crease for Saturday's road clash with the Predators, Carley Johnston of the Red Wings' official site reports.

    Lyon is still looking for his first win of the season but is coming off a perfect 15-for-15 save performance in relief of Cam Talbot against the Rangers on Wednesday. In his previous start, also versus New York, the 31-year-old Lyon stopped 24 of 27 shots in a losing effort. If he can put together a strong performance, Lyon might be capable of prying the starting gig away from Talbot.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Used in relief Thursday

    Lyon replaced Cam Talbot in the second period of Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers and stopped all 15 shots he faced.

    Lyon replaced a struggling Talbot midway through the second period, and while he did a good job defending his net, the game was well out of the Red Wings' reach by the time the 31-year-old stepped onto the ice. It's unclear who will start Saturday at Nashville. Lyon has stopped 39 of 42 shots across two appearances this season, posting a 0-1-0 record with a 2.12 GAA and a .929 save percentage.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Falls to Blueshirts

    Lyon stopped 24 of 27 shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Rangers, with New York's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

    in his first action of the season, Lyon got beaten once in each period, with Chris Kreider's power-play tally in the second proving to be the game-winner. Detroit has used a different goalie in each of its first three games of the season, which doesn't bode well for any of their workloads, but with Ville Husso now at AHL Grand Rapids after clearing waivers, Lyon could work in more of a timeshare with Cam Talbot in the short term.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Guarding goal Monday

    Lyon will defend the road net Monday against the Rangers, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Lyon posted a 21-18-5 record with two shutouts, a 3.05 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 44 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. The Rangers have netted 11 goals in two games this campaign.
