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.
Between pipes Wednesday
Lyon will guard the home goal versus the Canadiens in Game 1 on Wednesday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lyon went 3-1 over the last four games of the Sabres' 4-2 series win over the Bruins in the first round. He allowed just five goals in that span. Lyon is now the Sabres' No. 1 goalie, though the team could pivot back to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen if Lyon struggles at any point.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
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
Working in starter's crease
Lyon occupied the starter's crease ahead of Game 1 versus Montreal on Wednesday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll guard the home cage.
ANALYSIS
Lyon has been phenomenal for the Sabres since entering Game 2 of the opening-round series against the Bruins, going 3-1-0 with a 1.14 GAA across five outings. At this point, the 33-year-old backstop has likely earned himself an extended leash heading into the second round. He would probably keep the starting gig even with a bad outing or two, though Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen remains an option if called upon.
