Lyon stopped 21 shots in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old netminder had little chance on an Erik Karlsson blast from the slot early in OT, but he did play well enough to earn Detroit a potentially crucial point in the standings. Lyon still has only two wins since the beginning of March, however, going 2-9-3 with a 3.65 GAA and .893 save percentage over his last 14 outings. The Red Wings sit one point back of Pittsburgh in the race for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Lyon turned aside 21 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Detroit out-shot the visitors 43-23 on the night, but Charlie Lindgren stood on his head in the other crease while Lyon got beaten by Dylan Strome and Alex Ovechkin in the final three minutes of the second period. Lyon has allowed two goals or less in five of his last seven starts, posting a 2.29 GAA and .932 save percentage over that stretch, but he has only a 2-3-2 record to show for it as the Red Wings scramble for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. After Tuesday's loss, they sit one point back of the Caps for the No. 8 seed, with the Penguins and Flyers also very much in the mix.

Lyon allowed four goals on 38 shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Both teams exchanged goals for the majority of the contest but the Rangers had the last laugh as they scored the lone goal in the final frame to pull away with the win. Lyon has struggled for a while now as he has only one win in his last 12 games and he's been below .900 in eight of those outings. Fantasy managers may want to stay away from Lyon as a starter as the Red Wings end the season.
