Lyon (upper body) is considered day-to-day but may be able to get on the ice ahead of Friday's home game against Chicago, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon exited Tuesday's game against the Senators due to an upper-body injury, but he doesn't appear to be facing a long-term absence. Cam Talbot will start for the Red Wings against Chicago, while it's unclear whether Lyon will be able to serve as a backup. However, with Ville Husso also on the active roster, it wouldn't be surprising to see Lyon held out, at least as a precautionary measure.

Lyon sustained an upper-body injury during Tuesday's game versus the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon was a perfect 10-for-10 in saves in the first period, indicating this is an injury concern rather than a performance-related reason for his exit. Cam Talbot replaced Lyon between the pipes and would likely take over as Detroit's top goalie should Lyon miss any time.

Lyon stopped 21 of 23 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon earned his third straight win and looks to be taking hold of the No. 1 job over Cam Talbot. Lyon has given up six goals over those three starts to make a good first impression on new head coach Todd McLellan. The 32-year-old netminder is at 8-5-0 with a 2.77 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 15 appearances this season, though a tighter defensive system should benefit him. The Red Wings host the Senators on Tuesday.

Lyon made 23 saves in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Twice the Red Wings grabbed one-goal leads only to see the Pens tie it up, but after a power-play tally for Pittsburgh early in the third period, Lyon slammed the door shut. The veteran netminder has looked good since Christmas, giving up four goals on 54 shots over three outings (two starts) while going 2-0-0. With Cam Talbot struggling to find his form, Lyon appears to be the top option right now in the crease for Detroit.
