Lyon stopped 30 shots in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old was the busier netminder, as Detroit was outshot 30-17 on the night, but Lyon had an answer for everything Philly fired at him. The shutout was his second of the season, with the other coming against the Devils on Nov. 22. Through 10 outings in January, Lyon has gone 7-2-1 with a 2.56 GAA and .926 save percentage as he tightens his hold on the top job for the Wings.

Lyon stopped 27 of 32 shots before being replaced by James Reimer to begin the third period of Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Dallas scored four goals in the second period to Detroit's zero, prompting coach Derek Lalonde to make the switch between the pipes in an effort to spark a comeback. It almost worked, as the Wings nearly erased a 5-2 deficit in the final frame. It was the first time Lyon had given up more than four goals in a game all season, and since taking over the No. 1 netminding job in late December, the 31-year-old has gone 7-3-1 in 11 starts with a 2.97 GAA and .913 save percentage.

EDGE Analysis
Lyon was sharp Sunday, allowing just a Victor Hedman goal in the opening period before blanking the Lightning over the final two frames en route to the one-goal win. The 31-year-old netminder has been solid since taking over the starting job with Ville Husso (lower body) on injured reserve -- Lyon has gone 6-1-1 with a .927 save percentage in eight outings since the start of January. Overall, he's 11-5-1 with a .922 save percentage and 2.47 GAA this season.

Lyon allowed three goals on 29 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon was the busier of the two netminders, facing over twice as many shots as Antti Raanta. He was unable to hold onto an early 1-0 lead, giving up two more goals, including a power-play goal to Andrei Svechnikov in the third period. This defeat marks the 31-year old netminder's second loss in his last seven games while not allowing more than three goals in any of them. Sunday against Tampa Bay marks the next potential start for Lyon.

Lyon will be in goal against Carolina on the road Friday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon continues to earn his share of the net, posting a 5-0-1 record, 2.62 GAA and .927 save percentage over his last six outings. At this point, there is little reason to expect the Minnesota native to suddenly see a downturn in opportunities, so fantasy players should expect him to continue getting the nod ahead of James Reimer.

Lyon made 32 saves in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Florida grabbed a 2-1 lead midway through the second period, but Lyon slammed the door shut the rest of the way. The 31-year-old netminder has yet to take a regulation loss in January, going 5-0-1 in six starts with a 2.62 GAA and .927 save percentage. Lyon has a firm hold for the moment on the No. 1 job in the Detroit crease.

Lyon will get the starting nod for Wednesday's road clash with Florida, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon had started seven straight matches before getting the night off versus Toronto on Sunday, which happened to be the second night of a back-to-back. In those prior outings, the 31-year-old Lyon went 5-1-1 with a 2.96 GAA and a .914 save percentage. It seems the Minnesota native has cemented himself as the No. 1 option for the Red Wings as the club tries to secure a playoff spot for the first time since 2015-16.
