Lyon allowed four goals on 21 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon struggled against the Canucks' top six, and the Red Wings' offense couldn't find much success versus Thatcher Demko. This was Lyon's second straight loss, and he's allowed 11 goals in those contests. On the year, he's down to 14-8-2 with a 2.82 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 24 outings. Lyon is likely to keep the No. 1 role with Ville Husso (lower body) back on the shelf, though James Reimer is also around to challenge for playing time. The Red Wings' road trip continues Saturday in Calgary.

Lyon is expected to start on the road against Vancouver on Thursday, Grand Rapids play-by-play broadcaster Bob Kaser reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon will look to rebound after surrendering seven goals on 29 shots in an 8-4 loss to Edmonton on Tuesday. He has a 14-7-2 record, 2.76 GAA and .915 save percentage in 23 outings in 2023-24. The Canucks, who rank second offensively this year with 3.69 goals per game, figure to be a tough adversary.

Lyon surrendered seven goals on 29 shots in relief of Ville Husso (lower body) in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Husso was injured on the first goal of the game, forcing Lyon to come in cold. Lyon gave up a quick goal, but he was steady enough in the second period to have the game tied at 3-3 heading into the final frame, when the Oilers took over on offense. There's been few games like this for Lyon this season, who has a 2.76 GAA and a .915 save percentage to go with his 14-7-2 record on the year. If Husso has aggravated his previous injury, it'll likely be Lyon handling the lion's share of the starts in goal moving forward.

Lyon made 28 saves in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
All three goals against Lyon came in the second period as Detroit fell behind 3-1, but the veteran netminder stood tall down the stretch and gave his team a chance to mount a comeback. Lyon has given up more than three goals only once in 13 outings since the beginning of January, posting a 9-2-2 record over that stretch to go with a 2.58 GAA and .922 save percentage.

Lyon will defend the cage versus Vancouver at home Saturday, Will Burchfield of 97.1 The Ticket reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon will be making his 15th appearance in the Wings' last 16 contests, having gone 9-3-2 with a 2.68 GAA in his previous 14 outings. Even if Ville Husso (illness) is cleared to play soon, it seems the coaching staff has turned the net over to Lyon, at least for the time being.

Lyon stopped 22 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Two of the pucks that beat him were the result of tip-ins, while the third came on a Brady Tkachuk breakaway after Moritz Seider blew a tire trying to get back on defense. Lyon heads into the All-Star break having gone 8-2-2 in January with a 2.54 GAA and .923 save percentage -- the 31-year-old has a tight grip on the starting job in the Detroit crease.

EDGE Analysis
After giving up a pair of goals in the opening period, Lyon blanked Vegas over the final two frames en route to his fifth win in seven starts -- he has a .927 save percentage in that span. Overall, the 31-year-old netminder is 13-6-1 with an impressive .924 save percentage and 2.49 GAA this season. The Red Wings are back in action at home Wednesday versus Ottawa in their final game before the All-Star break.

Lyon is expected to start at home against Vegas on Saturday, per Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site
EDGE Analysis
Lyon has a 12-6-1 record, 2.52 GAA and .923 save percentage in 19 contests this season. He'll look to build off Thursday's 30-save performance in a 3-0 shutout win over Philadelphia. Vegas is 29-14-6 this season but just 11-9-4 on the road, so the game being in Detroit might help Lyon meaningfully.
