  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Falls in overtime

    Lyon stopped 26 of 30 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Capitals on Tuesday.

    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.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Starting Tuesday

    Lyon will guard the road goal Tuesday versus Washington, per Carley Johnston of the Red Wings' official site.

    Lyon is coming off a 31-save performance in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Nashville. He has surrendered 30 goals on 235 shots during his eight-game losing skid. Lyon has posted a record of 18-16-2 this season with a 3.04 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 36 appearances. Washington is tied for 27th in the league with 2.71 goals per contest this campaign.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Plays well enough to win

    Lyon made 32 saves in a 1-0 loss to Nashville on Saturday.

    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.

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

    Lyon will be between the pipes for Saturday's road clash with Nashville, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

    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.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Can't stop Penguins

    Lyon gave up five goals on 37 shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

    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, as he's allowed three or more goals in his last eight starts and taken seven consecutive regulation losses. It's too early to write Lyon off completely, but his starting role isn't guaranteed, as the Red Wings will likely ride the hot hand in net down the stretch with every point critical to their playoff hopes.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Starting in Pittsburgh

    Lyon will guard the road goal Sunday versus Pittsburgh, according to Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Drops sixth straight

    Lyon allowed three goals on 26 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Coyotes.

    Lyon has lost his last six starts, struggling to an .855 save percentage in that span. Overall, the 31-year-old netminder falls to 18-14-2 with a .904 save percentage and 3.03 GAA on the season. Lyon has continued to see the bulk of starts for Detroit, though the Wings could turn to James Reimer on Saturday as they try to snap a seven-game losing skid at home versus the Sabres.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Gets hook against Sabres

    Lyon allowed four goals on 13 shots before being replaced by James Reimer late in the first period of Tuesday's 7-3 loss to Buffalo. Lyon was credited with the loss.

    The brutal opening frame was more the fault of the the Red Wings' defense than it was Lyon, as the netminder would make an initial save only for Buffalo to keep the pressure on and eventually find the back of the net. Even so, Lyon has lost five straight starts in regulation and has coughed up at least four goals in each one, stumbling to a 5.37 GAA and .850 save percentage during the losing streak. With the Wings suddenly in danger of missing the playoffs, Reimer could see his workload increase substantially down the stretch.

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

    Lyon will be between the home pipes against Arizona on Thursday, Carley Johnston of the Red Wings' official site reports.

    Lyon is currently mired in a five-game losing streak during which he has given up four or more goals in each game. Despite the 31-year-old netminder's slump, the team continues to roll with Lyon instead of turning to veteran James Reimer. Still, with the Wings suddenly outside of a playoff spot, Lyon is likely on a short leash.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Gets no help in Friday's loss

    Lyon made 20 saves in Friday's 4-0 loss to the Coyotes.

    Arizona struck for three goals in the first period, and while Lyon kept his focus the rest of the way, Detroit's offense never solved Connor Ingram. The 31-year-old Lyon has lost four straight starts, giving up at least four goals in each contest. Since the All-Star break, Lyon has gone 5-6-0 in 11 outings with a rough 3.71 GAA and .880 save percentage.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: In goal Friday

    Lyon will guard the crease on the road against Arizona on Friday, per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

The 31-year-old has had a nice season though, posting a .910 save percentage and an 18-11-2 record. He will continue to split time with James Reimer, though that arrangement could change come playoff time.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Rough night in Colorado

    Lyon allowed five goals on 40 shots in Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Avalanche.

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Expected to start Wednesday

  • Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Gets no help Saturday

    Lyon stopped 33 of 37 shots in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Panthers.

    The netminder was able to keep things scoreless in the first period, but Lyon was hung out to dry over the final 40 minutes as the Red Wings were out-shot 28-16 and got thoroughly out-played. Lyon has seen a career high workload this season and could be wearing down -- he's given up four or more goals in four of his last eight starts, going 4-4-0 with a 3.45 GAA and .882 save percentage. It wouldn't be a surprise if James Reimer began to draw into the crease more often.
