Lyon stopped 36 shots in regulation and overtime and two of three shootout attempts in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old netminder was beaten twice by Aleksander Barkov in the third period and once by Sam Reinhart in the shootout, but that was enough to hand Detroit a tough loss. Lyon went the entire month of March without picking up a win, going 0-8-2 over his last 10 outings with a 4.04 GAA and .881 save percentage. His late-season swoon may end up costing the Red Wings a playoff berth -- they sit two points back of the Flyers for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.

EDGE Analysis
Lyon is in the midst of a nine-game losing streak, going 0-8-1 witha 3.93 GAA and an .867 save percentage. He has lost his status as the Red Wings' No. 1 goaltender to James Reimer. Lyon is 18-16-2 with a 3.07 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 37 appearances this season. He will have a tough matchup versus Florida, who are fourth in the Eastern Conference with 97 points, 18 ahead of the ninth place Red Wings.

Lyon stopped 26 of 30 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Capitals on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Capitals could not get one past Lyon in the first period, but then he allowed an early goal in the second frame to give Washington some life. Both teams continued to trade tallies from there until the contest was locked at 3-3 heading into overtime. Dylan Strome ended it 1:55 into the extra period. Lyon has really struggled in March, as he has not produced a win since Feb. 27. Since March 14, Lyon has been splitting time with James Reimer, so fantasy managers will want to watch for who the starter is as the Red Wings continue to battle for a playoff spot.

Lyon made 32 saves in a 1-0 loss to Nashville on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon was locked in a goalie duel with Juuse Saros until late in the third period. However, Filip Forsberg pulled the puck out of a scrum and went high over the glove of Lyon at the 14:46 mark for the game's only goal. It was a tough-luck loss for Lyon, who played well enough to win. He has struggled since Feb. 27, going 0-8-0 in his past eight starts. He has allowed four or more goals six times during that span. Still, Lyon may have turned the corner Saturday against a Predators team that extended their team-record point streak to 17 games with the win.

Lyon will be between the pipes for Saturday's road clash with Nashville, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lyon is mired in a seven-game losing streak during which he's posted a 4.97 GAA and .857 save percentage. The slump saw Lyon benched in favor of James Reimer for the previous two games but it seems the 31-year-old Lyon will get another chance to reclaim the starting job.

Lyon gave up five goals on 37 shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
It was another tough night for Lyon as he gave up goals early and often, allowing four goals before the midway mark of the second period. Each time the Red Wings answered with a goal of their own, Lyon allowed one soon after. The loss adds to his recent struggles, where he's allowed three or more goals in his last eight starts. It's too early to write him off completely, but his starting role isn't guaranteed, especially with Detroit fighting for their playoff lives. Monitor his performance over the next few games to see if he can regain his earlier form.
