Lyon stopped 31 of 34 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Lyon will guard the road goal versus the Predators, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Lyon (lower body) was taken off injured reserve Monday, per Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Lyon (lower body) participated in Sunday's practice, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Lyon (lower body) is expected to miss about 7-10 days, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Lyon (lower body) was moved to injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Lyon (lower body) won't be available for Wednesday's road game against Dallas, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Lyon stopped 16 of 18 shots on goal in Monday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Lyon is expected to start on the road against St. Louis, per Lou Korac of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

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.
