  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Moves to IR

    Lyon (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

    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.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Won't make road trip

    Lyon (lower body) didn't practice Saturday and won't travel with the Red Wings for the team's upcoming two-game road trip, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

    Lyon will miss his third straight game Sunday versus Vancouver before Detroit's two-game trip to Boston and Ottawa on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively. He has posted a 4-4-0 record with a 2.74 GAA and a .911 save percentage across nine games this season. Look for Cam Talbot and Ville Husso to share the net with Lyon on the shelf.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Not available Friday

    Lyon (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup Friday versus New Jersey, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

    Cam Talbot will get the start with Ville Husso as his backup. Lyon was injured during the Red Wings' morning skate Wednesday. He is 4-4-0 with a 2.74 GAA and a .911 save percentage in nine appearances this season.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Injured Wednesday

    Lyon sustained an undisclosed injury during Wednesday's morning skate, Sean Shapiro of EP Rinkside reports.

    Lyon has a 4-4-0 record, 2.74 GAA and .911 save percentage in nine appearances this campaign. The plan was to have him serve as Cam Talbot's understudy for Wednesday's game against Calgary, but the Red Wings will instead promote Ville Husso from the minors so he can dress as the backup goaltender.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Stops 27 shots in win Monday

    Lyon stopped 27 of 29 shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Islanders.

    Lyon gave up goals in the early stages of the first and second periods, but other than that, he was solid between the pipes en route to earning his second consecutive win. The 31-year-old has made just three appearances since losing the starting gig and later missing three games with a lower-body injury from Nov. 8-13, going 2-1-0 with a 2.68 GAA and a .900 save percentage since his return.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Starting Monday

    Lyon will guard the road net Monday against the Islanders, Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News reports.

    Lyon will make his second start in three games after starting just once in Detroit's previous eight contests. The 31-year-old Lyon is 3-4-0 on the year with a .908 save percentage and 2.85 GAA.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Hangs on for third win

    Lyon made 22 saves in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Islanders.

    The Red Wings were unable to solve Ilya Sorokin until the final five minutes of the third period, but Lyon kept them in the game until then and got rewarded with the comeback win. It's the first win for the veteran netminder since Oct. 22 after a lower-body injury cost him time in early November, and on the season Lyon is 3-4-0 over eight appearances with a 2.84 GAA and .908 save percentage.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Gets starting nod for Thursday

    Lyon will be between the pipes for Thursday's home matchup with the Islanders, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

    Lyon has appeared in just three of the Red Wings' last 11 contests, losing all three games while giving up 15 goals on 95 combined shots (.842 save percentage). Despite his recent struggles, the team will go back to the 31-year-old for Thursday's matchup, which likely means fantasy players can expect to see Cam Talbot between the home pipes against the Bruins on Saturday.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Struggles in return

    Lyon (lower body) allowed five goals on 28 shots in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Ducks. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

    Lyon gave up a goal in each of the first two periods and three more in the third as the Ducks pulled off a comeback. This was his first action since Oct. 30, as he had lost his share of the crease before missing a week with the injury. Lyon is now 2-4-0 with a 3.13 GAA and a .903 save percentage over seven appearances this season. Cam Talbot is likely to start in goal versus the Kings on Saturday.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Slated to start Friday

    Lyon (lower body) is expected to start on the road against Anaheim on Friday, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

    Lyon last played between the pipes Oct. 30, when he stopped 23 of 29 shots en route to a 6-2 loss to Winnipeg. Anaheim figures to be a far easier adversary -- the 5-8-2 Ducks rank 32nd offensively with just 2.20 goals per game. Lyon has a 2-3-0 record, 2.78 GAA and .916 save percentage over six appearances in 2024-25.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Good to go for road trip

    Lyon (lower body) is expected to be available to play for Friday's game versus the Ducks, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Lyon was expected to be available at some point during the Red Wings' road trip through California. With the team sending down Ville Husso following Wednesday's game versus the Penguins, it appears Lyon has been given the all clear. Detroit plays in Anaheim on Friday and in Los Angeles on Saturday, so expect Lyon to start one of those contests.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Could return during road trip

    Lyon (lower body) won't be in the lineup for Wednesday's matchup in Pittsburgh but could return during Detroit's four-game road trip, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

    Lyon participated in Tuesday's practice and is getting close to returning to action. Cam Talbot will start against the Penguins, while Ville Husso will be the backup. The 31-year-old Lyon has a 2-3-0 record with a 2.78 GAA and a .916 save percentage through six appearances this season

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Skates before practice Monday

    Lyon (lower body) skated before Monday's practice session, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

    Lyon suffered a lower-body injury Thursday that led to him being scratched from Friday's game against the Maple Leafs. While head coach Derek Lalonde didn't offer an update beyond Lyon's return to the ice Monday, it's certainly encouraging to see the goaltender skating. It's not yet clear when Lyon will be able to return to game action.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Suffers lower-body injury

    Lyon suffered a lower-body injury Thursday and will not dress against the Maple Leafs on Friday, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

    Lyon was slated to get the start in goal in Toronto, but Cam Talbot will now get the call. The Red Wings recalled Ville Husso from the AHL on an emergency basis to back up Talbot. Lyon has lost his last two starts, allowing 10 goals on 67 shots and is 2-3-1 with a 2.78 GAA and a .916 save percentage in six appearances this season.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Tending twine Friday

    Lyon will guard the cage on the road against the Maple Leafs on Friday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Lyon is currently stuck in a two-game losing streak in which he gave up 10 goals on 67 shots (.851 save percentage) and has had to watch Cam Talbot start the Wings' last two contests. A matchup with the star-studded Leafs -- though Auston Matthews (upper body) is a doubt -- isn't exactly the best way to get Lyon back on track, but Detroit's back-to-back, with the Rangers at home Saturday, didn't leave the coaching staff with any good options.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Thumped by Jets

    Lyon made 23 saves in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to Winnipeg.

    The Jets grabbed a 3-0 lead in the first period and never trailed in the game, saddling Lyon with his second straight loss and third of the season. The veteran goalie saw a heavy workload early but appears to have fallen back into a timeshare with Cam Talbot -- and he may not be done falling, having allowed 10 goals on 47 shots over his last two starts. Despite those stumbles, Lyon still has a 2.78 GAA and .916 save percentage in six appearances.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Slated to start Wednesday

    Lyon is expected to start Wednesday's home game against Winnipeg, according to Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site.

    Lyon allowed four goals on 38 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Buffalo. He has a 2-2-0 record with one shutout, a 2.05 GAA and a .940 save percentage through five appearances this season. Winnipeg has compiled 40 goals in nine games en route to an 8-1-0 start to the 2024-25 campaign.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Bounced by Buffalo

    Lyon stopped 34 of 38 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres, with Buffalo's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

    The 31-year-old netminder has started three of the last four games for Detroit, but Lyon gave up more than three goals Saturday for the first time this season. He had little chance on any of them, and the game-winner came on a Bowen Byram point shot that Lyon stopped, only for the rebound to deflect in off the back of Jeff Petry's leg. Lyon has a 2-2-0 record, 2.05 GAA and .940 save percentage through five appearances, and for now he appears to have a slight edge over Cam Talbot for playing time in the Wings' crease.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Facing Sabres

    Lyon will protect the visiting crease in Buffalo on Saturday, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

    Lyon has been sharing the net with Cam Talbot thus far in the early going. Lyon is coming off a 1-0 shutout win over the Islanders on Tuesday, stopping 29 shots. He is 2-1-0 with a 1.46 GAA and a .955 save percentage in four appearances this season. The Sabres have found the back of the net 25 times in eight games.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Bricked up twine tent

    Lyon made 29 saves in a 1-0 win over the Islanders on Tuesday.

    It was Lyon's first shutout this season and the fourth of his NHL career. The Islanders had their feet on the gas most of the game, but Lyon adroitly turned them away, wave by wave. He is 2-1-0 on the season with a 1.46 GAA and a .955 save percentage. Right now, Lyon is rising to the occasion and winning, so consider him an option for your blue paint whenever he's in there.
