Lyon will start on Thursday vs. Colorado.

The Red Wings remain committed to Lyon, who will start for the third time in the last four games for the Red Wings. Lyon was excellent in his last outing, saving 38 of 41 shots (.927 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime victory over the Seattle Kraken. That said, Lyon and the Red Wings welcome a challenging foe on Thursday night as the Colorado Avalanche and their league-best offence (3.68 GF / GP) visit Detroit.

Lyon will start Monday in Seattle.

Lyon will return to the crease on Monday after having a rare night off in the Red Wings last contest on Saturday. The 31-year-old Lyon has established himself as the go-to guy between the pipes for the Red Wings but has lost his footing lately and was shown up on Saturday by James Reimer, who recorded a 38-save shutout. In his last two games, Lyon has allowed 11 goals on 50 shots (.780 SV%), a blip on an otherwise impressive season. The Red Wings are +126 road underdogs on Monday afternoon against a Seattle Kraken club riding a two-game winning streak.

Lyon will start on Thursday in Vancouver.

Lyon will be back between the pipes for the Red Wings on Thursday after Ville Husso got the nod in Edmonton on Tuesday. Lyon struggled after being forced into action against the Oilers when Husso left the game with a lower-body injury. Lyon allowed seven goals on 29 shots as the Red Wings fell by a score of 8-4. Lyon will have his hands full again on Thursday as the Red Wings find themselves as +160 underdogs in Vancouver.

Alex Lyon
Lyon will start on Saturday vs. Vancouver.

Lyon has emerged as the go-to guy between the pipes for the Red Wings and will start on Saturday when the team returns to the ice for their first game since the All-Star break. Lyon has a 2.51 GAA and .922 SV% in 21 games (13-6-2) but will be hard-pressed for a victory against the high-scoring Vancouver Canucks.

Alex Lyon
Lyon will start Wednesday vs. the Senators.

Lyon will return to the crease for the seventh straight game on Wednesday as the Red Wings look to extend their winning streak to three games before the All-Star break. Lyon has been exceptional during his two-game winning streak, saving 58 of 60 shots (.967 SV%), including one shutout. The Red Wings are -120 home favourites against an Ottawa Senators club with points in six of their last seven outings (4-1-2).

Alex Lyon
Lyon will start Thursday vs. Philadelphia.

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.

Alex Lyon
Lyon will start Tuesday vs. Dallas.

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 will start Sunday vs. Tampa Bay.

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 Friday in Carolina.

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 start Wednesday in Florida.

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%.

Lyon will start Thursday vs. Edmonton.

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.

Alex Lyon will start Thursday in Los Angeles.

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).

Alex Lyon
Alex Lyon will start Tuesday in San Jose.

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).
