Alex Lyon stopped 29-of-32 shots during a 4-0 opening night loss to the New York Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

Lyon received little support on opening night from his new Sabres teammates after signing with Buffalo this summer to a two-year $3 million contract. Last year, he played in 30 games with the Detroit Red Wings, posting a record of 14-9-1 with a 3.05 GAA and .904 SV%.

Alex Lyon was stellar between the pipes for the Red Wings Saturday, stopping 37 of 39 shots faced in a 5-2 win over the Predators.

Fantasy Impact

Lyon has been fairly solid in net early on, allowing two goals or less in two of three appearances in the crease for the Red Wings. The 31-year-old will look to take advantage of his opportunities between the pipes as part of a crowded goalie room for Detroit early on, posting a .938 save percentage and 2.06 GAA in three appearances (1-1-0) between the pipes so far this season.

Alex Lyon allowed three goals on 27 shots faced in the Red Wings' 4-1 loss to the Rangers Monday night.

Fantasy Impact

Lyon struggled in the crease in his first action of the season for the Red Wings, posting an abysmal .889 save percentage in a losing effort. The 31-year-old remains entrenched in a three-headed goaltending battle with fellow netminders Cam Talbot and Ville Husso, leaving Lyon as a difficult option for fantasy managers to trust until the situation in net provides more clarity moving forward.

Alex Lyon struggled in net for the Red Wings Thursday night, allowing four goals on 26 shots faced in a 5-3 loss to the Islanders.

Fantasy Impact

Lyon has fought consistency issues in the crease of late, allowing three or more goals in seven of his last nine starts (5-3-1) for the Red Wings. The 31-year-old will look to return to his early-season form as the No.1 netminder for a Detroit squad pushing for a return to the postseason, carrying a 2.74 GAA and .912 save percentage to go along with two shutouts in 29 appearances (18-9-2) between the pipes so far this season.

Alex Lyon was stellar in the crease for the Red Wings Saturday, turning aside 22 of 23 shots faced in a 6-1 win over the Blues.

Fantasy Impact

Lyon has turned things around in net of late, allowing just one goal in each of his last two starts (2-0-0) for the Red Wings. The netminder has seized the No.1 goaltender role for head coach Derek Lalonde and should continue to play a key role for a Detroit squad looking for a return to postseason glory, posting a 2.68 GAA and .916 save percentage to go along with two shutouts in 27 appearances (17-8-2) between the pipes so far this season.
