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.

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.
