Lyon will be between the home pipes against Arizona on Thursday, Carley Johnston of the Red Wings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon is currently mired in a five-game losing streak during which he has given up four or more goals in each game. Despite the 31-year-old netminder's slump, the team continues to roll with Lyon instead of turning to veteran James Reimer. Still, with the Wings suddenly outside of a playoff spot, Lyon is likely on a short leash.

Lyon allowed four goals on 13 shots before being replaced by James Reimer late in the first period of Tuesday's 7-3 loss to Buffalo. Lyon was credited with the loss.
EDGE Analysis
The brutal opening frame was more the fault of the the Red Wings' defense than it was Lyon, as the netminder would make an initial save only for Buffalo to keep the pressure on and eventually find the back of the net. Even so, Lyon has lost five straight starts in regulation and has coughed up at least four goals in each one, stumbling to a 5.37 GAA and .850 save percentage during the losing streak. With the Wings suddenly in danger of missing the playoffs, Reimer could see his workload increase substantially down the stretch.

Since the All-Star break, Lyon has gone 5-6-0 in 11 outings with a rough 3.71 GAA and .880 save percentage.

The 31-year-old has had a nice season though, posting a .910 save percentage and an 18-11-2 record. He will continue to split time with James Reimer, though that arrangement could change come playoff time.

Lyon allowed five goals on 40 shots in Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon didn't stand much of a chance Wednesday, facing a whopping 40 shots in just two periods before he was relieved by James Reimer to start the third. It's been a tough stretch for the 31-year-old Lyon -- he's lost three consecutive starts, allowing four goals or more in each outing. Overall, Lyon is 18-11-2 with a .910 save percentage and 2.89 GAA on the season. The Red Wings will look to bounce back Friday in a road matchup versus Arizona.

Lyon is set to start on the road against Colorado on Wednesday, per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon will attempt to rebound after surrendering at least three goals in each of his last three starts. He's 18-10-2 with a 2.79 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 30 appearances this season. The Avalanche, who lead the league with 3.65 goals per game, will be a difficult opponent for Lyon.

Lyon stopped 33 of 37 shots in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The netminder was able to keep things scoreless in the first period, but Lyon was hung out to dry over the final 40 minutes as the Red Wings were out-shot 28-16 and got thoroughly out-played. Lyon has seen a career high workload this season and could be wearing down -- he's given up four or more goals in four of his last eight starts, going 4-4-0 with a 3.45 GAA and .882 save percentage. It wouldn't be a surprise if James Reimer began to draw into the crease more often.
