Lyon stopped both shots that he faced after coming on in relief for Cam Talbot in Friday's 5-2 loss to Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon entered the game in the final frame after Cam Talbot was blitzed for five goals over the first 40 minutes of play. It was Detroit's first game with new head coach Todd McLellan, so Lyon might have the opportunity to grab the reigns of the No. 1 netminding gig with a new bench boss. Through 12 appearances in 2024-25, Lyon is 5-5-0 with an .894 save percentage and a 2.99 GAA.

Lyon made 15 saves in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Making his first start since Nov. 25 after recovering from a lower-body injury, Lyon looked rusty in the back-and-forth contest -- Travis Konecny opened the scoring just 66 seconds into the first period by slipping a backhand through the goalie's five hole. Lyon got plenty of offensive support though, and he actually has a three-start win streak going dating back to before his IR stint. On the season, the 32-year-old is 5-4-0 in 10 outings with a 2.88 GAA and .903 save percentage, and he'll split work in the crease with Ville Husso until Cam Talbot (lower body) also gets healthy.

The Red Wings hope that Lyon (lower body) will be able to return for Wednesday's home game against the Flyers, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon has been sidelined since late November due to a lower-body injury, but he appears to be trending toward a return. His return would come at a beneficial time, as Cam Talbot exited Friday's practice session due to a lower-body injury, and it's unclear how much time he'll miss. Ville Husso will start at home against the Maple Leafs on Saturday, while the Red Wings will need to call up another netminder to serve as Husso's backup.

Lyon (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon's placement on the IR list won't impact his timeline for a return. He won't be an option for Tuesday's road game against Boston and Thursday's road matchup versus Ottawa. The 31-year-old netminder has posted a 4-4-0 record with a 2.74 GAA and a .911 save percentage across nine appearances this season. With Lyon and Cam Talbot (lower body) unavailable, Sebastian Cossa will be the backup behind Ville Husso on Tuesday versus Boston.
