Lyon allowed three goals on 47 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers outshot the Red Wings 47-17, so Lyon was far busier than Calvin Pickard on the night. Edmonton could not slip the puck past Lyon until their 37th shot on net by a Connor McDavid breakaway goal to tie the game up 1-1 in the third period. Detroit eventually ended up in the loss column after Darnell Nurse scored in overtime on the only shot in the extra period. Lyon has been a workhorse for the Red Wings, starting in six consecutive games for them with four wins during that span.

Lyon will tend the twine at home versus Edmonton on Thursday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon is 4-1-0 with a 2.95 GAA and .906 save percentage in his last five contests. The 31-year-old netminder will be making his sixth straight appearance in the crease after James Reimer was relegated to the backup role after giving up five or more goals in three straight contests. The Red Wings have a back-to-back against the Kings and Leafs on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, which should see Lyon and Reimer split the workload.

Lyon stopped 29 of 31 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon has won three straight games, but this was the first time in five outings since he returned from an upper-body injury that he allowed fewer than three goals. The 31-year-old was bested twice by Trevor Zegras, including once in the opening minute. Lyon is up to 8-4-0 with a 2.51 GAA and a .920 save percentage, and it looks like he has some momentum as the Red Wings' No. 1 goalie. They return home for a tough matchup with the Oilers on Thursday, giving Lyon plenty of time to rest.
