Alex Lyon News

The Red Wings rank fifth-worst in the league in terms of xGA/60 but their goaltending has kept them afloat at times, most notably when Lyon has been between the pipes. The 31-year-old Lyon is boasting a sensational 2.05 GAA and .940 SV% through five outings (2-2-0). That said, the Red Wings have lost two straight, outscored 8-5, and rank sixth-worth in the league offensively with only 25 goals in nine games. The Red Wings will face off against a Winnipeg Jets club that lost their first game of the season on Monday (8-1-0).

After being outscored 15-8 in their first four games (1-3-0), the Red Wings have eased into some stability, outscoring their opposition 11-5 during a three-game winning streak.

The Red Wings ended a two-game losing skid where they were outscored 9-3 with a 5-2 win over the Nashville Predators on Saturday with Lyon between the pipes and will ride him again on Tuesday against the New York Islanders. Lyon has saved 52 of the last 54 shots he's faced (.963 SV%) and could secure more regular playing time with another strong performance. The Red Wings enter action on Tuesday as +146 road underdogs against an Islanders club that will be without Anthony Duclair (undisclosed), one of their biggest offensive threats.

The Red Wings goalie carousel to start the season will continue on Saturday against the Nashville Predators when Lyon returns to the crease. Detroit has a 1-3-0 record to start the season and they have allowed three or more goals in three games and are desperate to find consistent goaltending. Lyon allowed three goals on 27 shots (.889 SV%) in his only start of the season but was excellent in relief of Cam Talbot in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the New York Rangers when he saved all 15 shots he faced.

In their third game of the season, the Red Wings will turn to Lyon in net, marking a different starting goalie in each game.

The Red Wings enter action on Monday as +187 road underdogs against the New York Rangers.
