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.
First goalie off
Lyon was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Boston.
ANALYSIS
After beginning the season as the Sabres' primary netminder, Lyon has lost out on some playing time recently since Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is now healthy. However, Lyon will be in the crease for the third time in the Sabres' last four games. Lyon made a start in Boston on Oct. 11, turning aside 28 of 30 shots (.933 save percentage) in an overtime loss.

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.
