Despite showcasing his worst performance in a Red Wings uniform on Tuesday, allowing five goals on 32 shots (.844 SV%) in a 5-4 loss to the Dallas Stars, Lyon will return to the crease on Thursday against his former club, the Philadelphia Flyers. Lyon played well against the Flyers last month, saving 15 of 16 shots (.938 SV%) but exited the contest in the second period due to an injury.

Lyon was tremendous in his last outing, saving 27 of 28 shots (.964 SV%) in a 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning, and will likely return to the crease on Tuesday. Lyon has been the backbone of the Red Wings push for the playoffs, starting 10 of their last 11 games (7-2-1), allowing three or fewer goals in all but one contest, posting a respectable .919 SV%. The Red Wings are +126 home underdogs on Tuesday against a Dallas Stars team that is coming off a disappointing 3-2 overtime loss to the New York Islanders.

Lyon allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Red Wings' loss in Carolina on Friday. Lyon has been outstanding for the Red Wings' this season, particularly in 2024, where he is 5-1-1 with a .923 SV% since January 2nd. Tonight, he will face a Lightning team that is on a five-game winning streak and has averaged 4.4 goals per game during that stretch.

Lyon will start for the ninth time in the last 10 games as he has been a driving force in the Red Wings' push for the playoffs. In his last contest, Lyon saved 32 of 34 shots (.941 SV%) in a 3-2 win over his former team, the Florida Panthers. Lyon has been a calming presence between the pipes for the Red Wings, providing stability while allowing three or fewer goals in each of his last six games (5-0-1), boasting a stellar .927 SV%. That said, the Red Wings are +180 road underdogs on Friday against the Carolina Hurricanes, coming off a 5-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings.

Lyon will tend the twine on Wednesday against the Florida Panthers, the team that he gained his notoriety with last season, leading them on a late-season push into the playoffs. Lyon is doing the same with the Red Wings this season despite starting the season as their third-string goaltender. He has unquestionably become their most reliable option between the pipes and has helped the Red Wings record at least a point in five straight (4-0-1), posting a stellar .924 SV%.

Since Lyon returned shortly after the Christmas break, the Red Wings have bounced back from a 1-5-0 skid in his absence with a 4-1-0 record in their last five, all games that Lyon has started. Lyon has undoubtedly been the most reliable netminder for the Red Wings this season, as is evident from his .921 SV% over his last three games (3-0-0). That said, the Red Wings are +144 home underdogs against a tough opponent in the Edmonton Oilers, among the league's hottest teams and are riding an eight-game winning streak.

Lyon will make his fourth consecutive start between the Red Wing crease as he goes for his second-consecutive win after a 24 save (.889 SV%) victory over San Jose in his last start. The 31-year-old started the season as Detroit's third goaltender but has taken over the starting gig due to his strong play and 6-4-0 record, 2.53 GAA and .917 SV%. He will head to Los Angeles to take on the Kings, who have lost three straight games but are 10th in the NHL in goals per game (3.38).

Lyon has struggled since returning from a five-game absence due to an injury but will attempt to get his game in order in a favourable matchup against the San Jose Sharks. Lyon has allowed seven goals on 59 shots (.881 SV%) in his last two games (1-1-0) after posting a .938 SV% in his six games before (4-2-0). The Red Wings, losers of seven of their last nine (2-7-0), are -180 road favourites against a Sharks club that has lost eight straight (0-8-0).

Lyon has been on injured reserve with an upper-body injury after exiting a December 16th contest against the Philadelphia Flyers in the second period. In his absence, the Red Wings, also without Ville Husso, went 1-5-0 while relying predominantly on James Reimer. Before his injury, Lyon was stellar, allowing one goal or fewer in four of his last six games (4-2-0), posting a tremendous .938 SV%. The Red Wings will face off against the Nashville Predators, who have lost two straight games (0-2-0).

Lyon exited Saturday's game for the Red Wings in the second period after saving 14 of 15 shots (.933 SV%) with a lower-body injury. It was announced before Monday's game that he is week-to-week after he did not participate in practice on Monday. Ville Husso will likely see the majority of the action while Lyon is out, with James Reimer serving as the backup.

Lyon exited Saturday's game for the Red Wings in the second period after saving 14 of 15 shots (.933 SV%) with a lower-body injury. His status is still to be determined, but he did not participate in practice on Monday. Ville Husso will likely see the majority of the action while Lyon is out, with James Reimer serving as the backup.

Lyon will start on Saturday against the team he made his NHL debut with, the Philadelphia Flyers, whom he played sparingly with between the 2017-18 and 2020-21 seasons. Lyon has undoubtedly been the Red Wings' best goaltender since making his debut with the team approximately one month ago but has not played the last three games. He is coming off his worst performance of the season, allowing four goals on 25 shots (.840 SV%) in a 5-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators on December 9th, but still has an impressive 2.13 GAA and .931 SV% in six games this season (4-2-0).

Lyon will return to the crease on Saturday after watching Ville Husso get berated in a 6-5 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks on Thursday. Lyon has unquestionably been the best goaltender for the Red Wings since making his debut less than a month ago, posting a stellar 1.61 GAA and .947 SV% through five games (4-1-0). The Red Wings will look to rebound on Saturday against the Ottawa Senators, who they last played on November 16th in a 5-4 overtime loss, one day before Lyon made his debut with the Red Wings.

Lyon has undoubtedly been the Red Wings' best goaltender since making his debut several weeks ago and will start for the fifth time in their last eight games on Tuesday. In four games (3-1-0), Lyon has a sparkling 1.26 GAA and .958 SV%. His .750 quality start rate this season is through a very small sample size but seems mildly attainable given that he had a .714 QS% through 14 starts last season. The Red Wings have won five of their last six (5-1-0) and are -132 road favourites against a Buffalo Sabres team that has lost three straight (0-3-0), being outscored 14-7 in the process.
