Lyon inked a two-year, $3 million contract with Buffalo on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon put up decent numbers in Detroit last season, going 14-9-1 with a 2.81 GAA, .896 save percentage and one shutout in 30 regular-season outings. The problem for Lyon was the crowded goalie room with the Red Wings, a situation that won't be much different in Buffalo, as Devon Levi is pushing to be a full-time NHL option.

Lyon stopped 28 of 30 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon has operated as the Red Wings' No. 3 goalie down the stretch this year, but he still managed to appear in 30 regular-season contests. This was a solid end to his season, and he won three of his last four starts. Lyon went 14-9-1 with a 2.81 GAA and an .896 save percentage in his 30 appearances this season.

Lyon will start on the road versus the Devils on Wednesday, James Nichols of New Jersey Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon is set to play for the second time in three games. He won over the Lightning on Friday, stopping 18 of 21 shots in a 4-3 overtime victory. Lyon has often functioned as the Red Wings' No. 3 goalie this year, though this will be his 30th game of the season.

Lyon stopped 18 of 21 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon was beaten once in each period, and at one point, the Lightning held a 3-2 lead midway through the final frame, but the Red Wings responded to secure the win. Lyon earned his first victory since March 24, when he stopped 17 of 18 shots in a 5-1 win over Utah. His results haven't been impressive recently, though, going 3-3-0 with a 3.30 GAA and a less-than-inspiring .863 save percentage over seven appearances since the 4 Nations break.

Lyon will start on the road versus the Lightning on Friday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon allowed three goals on 10 shots in his last outing, getting pulled early in the second period March 27 versus the Senators. The 32-year-old will have his hands full with a tough opponent that is nearly at full health, especially since the Red Wings are on the second half of a back-to-back.

Lyon allowed three goals on 10 shots before being pulled 1:33 into the second period of a 4-3 loss to Ottawa on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Since Petr Mrazek's arrival in trade, Lyon has been watching most games from the press box. He got this start after Mrazek got hurt this week, but he failed to impress. Avoid Lyon - the Wings really don't help their netminders, and they're 3-7-0 in their last 10 starts despite their attempt to earn a wild card.

Lyon will patrol the home crease against Ottawa on Thursday, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon has allowed four goals in three of his last five appearances, including Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Colorado. He has a 12-9-1 record with one shutout, a 2.76 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 27 appearances this season. Ottawa sits 20th in the league with 2.90 goals per game in 2024-25.

Lyon allowed four goals on 27 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon played nearly the full game Monday versus Utah after Petr Mrazek (undisclosed) sustained an injury early on. Lyon got the win in that game, but the Avalanche showed their top-six strength throughout the contest to send the 32-year-old netminder to the loss this time around. Cam Talbot (undisclosed) is also dealing with an injury, so Lyon has quickly ascended to temporary No. 1 status. He's now 12-9-1 with a 2.76 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 27 appearances. Mrazek won't be ready Thursday, but Talbot's status is still up in the air. In any case, expect Lyon to be in uniform when the Red Wings host the Senators on Thursday.

Lyon will defend the road net against Colorado on Tuesday, according to Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News.

EDGE Analysis

Sebastian Cossa will be Lyon's backup because Petr Mrazek (undisclosed) and Cam Talbot (undisclosed) are unavailable. The 32-year-old Lyon made 16 saves on 17 shots in Monday's 5-1 win over Utah after Mrazek sustained an injury. Lyon has a 12-8-1 record with a 2.70 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 26 appearances this season. Colorado ranks sixth in the league with 3.34 goals per game in 2024-25.

Lyon stopped 16 of 17 shots in Monday's 5-1 win over Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Lyon guarded the Red Wings' crease for the first time since March 6 despite not being announced as the starter, as he replaced Petr Mrazek (undisclosed) in the first period. Lyon could see a heavier workload if Mrazek remains sidelined, though Cam Talbot is also on the roster as another goaltending option. Lyon has made four appearances since the 4 Nations Face-Off break, going 2-2-0 with a 2.78 GAA and an .883 save percentage.
