2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lyon had a 14-9-1 record, 2.81 GAA and .896 save percentage in 30 appearances with Detroit in 2024-25. While those numbers aren’t impressive, Detroit wasn’t a great team defensively, and Lyon’s plus-2.4 goals saved above expected suggests he held his own. With that work behind him, Lyon joined Buffalo over the summer on a two-year deal. It’s an interesting situation because Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen has shown promise, but he hasn’t done enough to gain a full lock on Buffalo’s starter role. Meanwhile, Devon Levi has failed to establish himself at the NHL level despite his substantial potential. There’s a path for Lyon to steal the No. 1 job for significant stretches, but it’s also possible he eventually finds himself as the No. 3 option. Pencil Lyon in for 20-30 games with mediocre results, but keep in the back of your mind that there’s plenty of room for variance. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $3 million contract with the Sabres in July of 2025.
Picks up third win
Lyon stopped 29 of 32 shots in Friday's 5-3 win over the Maple Leafs.
ANALYSIS
Lyon did well enough to hold off Toronto in the first game of the two teams' home-and-home set this weekend. This was his third win in his last four outings. The 32-year-old is now 3-4-0 with a 2.61 GAA and a .922 save percentage across seven starts this season. The Sabres didn't announce their goaltending plans for Saturday's game in Toronto, but it could be the season debut of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, who was removed from injured reserve Thursday.

2018
Lyon had a remarkable season for the Wings in 2023-24, becoming the starter after inking a deal to be the team's third stringer. With 39 previous NHL games on his resume, the journeyman played in 44 games last season, delivering a 21-18-5 record, 3.05 GAA and .904 save percentage. Lyon carried that momentum into the IIHF Worlds for Team USA, stopping 47 of 50 shots through two tournament games before suffering a finger injury. If he's healthy, Lyon will battle Ville Husso to back up newcomer Cam Talbot and get 25-plus starts in the role. Worst case, the Wings carry both Lyon and Husso into the season, and the game-splits all but eliminate any fantasy value for both men.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Occupies starter's crease
Lyon is in the starter's crease at morning skate, per Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550, and is expected to defend the home crease versus Toronto on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Lyon has won two of his last three starts to raise his record to 2-4-0 with one shutout, a 2.54 GAA and a .924 save percentage. The Sabres activated Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, who has been out all season with a lower-body injury, on Thursday, and Luukkonen is slated to return to his spot as the Sabres' No. 1 goaltender in the very near future. The move will relegate Lyon to the backup spot.
