Lyon made 30 saves in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Nathan MacKinnon slipped a puck past Lyon early in the second period, but the veteran netminder otherwise had an answer for everything Colorado fired at him. His numbers have begun to erode, but the Wings have been giving him enough support to keep him in the win column on a regular basis -- over his last eight starts, Lyon has gone 5-2-1 despite a lackluster 2.91 GAA and .903 save percentage.

Lyon is expected to start against Colorado on Thursday, Red Wings host Carley Johnston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon has a 15-8-2 record, 2.83 GAA and .912 save percentage through 25 games this season. While he's having a solid campaign overall, the 31-year-old goaltender has struggled recently, allowing 20 goals on 147 shots (.864 save percentage) over his past five appearances. It will be difficult to rebound versus the Avalanche, who are tied for first offensively with 3.68 goals per contest.

Lyon made 38 saves on 41 shots in a 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The Kraken fired double-digit shots at Lyon in each period in regulation, but he was up to the task to keep his team in the game throughout. It took 15 shots and a power play for Seattle to get on the board when Jared McCann wired a slap shot into the back of the net. McCann added another goal in the second period and then Jaden Schwartz got the game-tying goal in the third. The game went into overtime when Ben Chiarot ended it on a wrister for a Detroit win. Lyon finished the game with a solid .927 save percentage, his best mark in five games, which was good enough for his second win in that span. The Red Wings face the Avalanche at home Thursday.
