3 months agoDetroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon (lower body) will be back in action on Wednesday against Philadelphia. He has shaken off a lower-body injury, which has kept Lyon sidelined for the entire month so far. The 32-year-old finished November strongly with back-to-back wins and will enter Wednesday's action with a 4-4-0 record. He has registered a 2.75 goals-against average with a .911 save percentage and one shutout. The Red Wings have struggled offensively this season, which has impacted Lyon's numbers. However, the Flyers are also a low-scoring team, so Lyon should fancy his chances of making a winning return.

5 months agoDetroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon had a rough outing as he returned from a lower-body injury on Friday against Anaheim, allowing five goals on 28 shots in a 6-4 defeat. The Red Wings battled out a 3-1 lead, but Lyon couldn't keep ahold of it, conceding three goals in the third period. The 31-year-old netminder has now dropped three starts in a row, with his record plummeting to 2-4-0. Lyon has a 3.13 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage for the campaign. He will give up the crease to Cam Talbot against the Kings on Saturday and might have to wait for his next opportunity for a while because Lyon hasn't been getting the job done for Detroit.

5 months agoDetroit Red Wings goalie Alex Lyon (lower body) tweaked an injury in practice on Thursday and won't play in either of the team's back-to-back games on Friday and Saturday. Cam Talbot will get Friday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, while Ville Husso was called up from the AHL and will start Saturday against the New York Rangers. Neither make for a great stream, as both the Rangers and Leafs have offensive firepower. As for Lyon, head coach Derek Lalonde said he wasn't overly concerned about the chance of a long-term absence, so the goalie should be back soon.
