The extent of Lyon's injury is unknown, but he will not be able to suit on Wednesday, resulting in the Red Wings recalling Ville Husso from the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL) to serve as Cam Talbot's backup. The 31-year-old Lyon has been solid between the pipes for the Red Wings this season, posting a 2.74 GAA and .911 SV% in nine appearances (4-4-0).
The Red Wings, limited to only scoring three goals in their previous two games (1-1-0), will turn to Lyon between the pipes on Monday against the New York Islanders. The 31-year-old Lyon was stellar in his last outing, saving 22 of 23 shots (.957 SV%) in a 2-1 win over the Islanders, and has been serviceable all season, posting a 2.85 GAA and .908 SV% in eight appearances (3-4-0). The Red Wings enter the action on Monday as +144 road underdogs against an Islanders team they have limited to only one goal in two contests (2-0-0).
The Red Wings have been giving up a plethora of goals lately, outscored 15-9 in their previous three games (0-2-1) and will turn to Lyon between the pipes on Thursday against the New York Islanders. The 28-year-old Lyon has had an up-and-down 2024-25 campaign, posting a 3.14 GAA and .903 SV% in seven games (2-4-0).
Returning from a lower-body injury, Lyon will be between the pipes for the Red Wings for the first time since October 30th. Before his injury, Lyon allowed 10 combined goals in his previous two outings (0-2-0) but has been reliable most of the season, posting a solid 2.78 GAA and .916 SV% in six games (2-3-0). The Red Wings enter the action on Friday as -147 road favorites against an Anaheim Ducks club that has scored 33 goals this season, the fewest in the NHL.
Lyon appears to be nearing a return to the lineup after returning to practice on Tuesday, which will likely result in Ville Husso being sent back down to the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL). The Red Wings have lost two straight, splitting starts between Husso and Cam Talbot. They return to action on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Lyon was the expected starting goalie for the Red Wings on Friday, but will be sidelined due to a lower-body injury that is not a long-term concern, according to head coach Derek Lalonde. Cam Talbot will start in Lyon's place on Friday and Ville Husso, freshly recalled from Grand Rapids (AHL), will start on Saturday.
The Red Wings rank fifth-worst in the league in terms of xGA/60 but their goaltending has kept them afloat at times, most notably when Lyon has been between the pipes. The 31-year-old Lyon is boasting a sensational 2.05 GAA and .940 SV% through five outings (2-2-0). That said, the Red Wings have lost two straight, outscored 8-5, and rank sixth-worth in the league offensively with only 25 goals in nine games. The Red Wings will face off against a Winnipeg Jets club that lost their first game of the season on Monday (8-1-0).

Lyon has saved 52 of the last 54 shots he's faced (.963 SV%) and could secure more regular playing time with another strong performance. The Red Wings enter action on Tuesday as +146 road underdogs against an Islanders club that will be without Anthony Duclair (undisclosed), one of their biggest offensive threats.
The Red Wings goalie carousel to start the season will continue on Saturday against the Nashville Predators when Lyon returns to the crease. Detroit has a 1-3-0 record to start the season and they have allowed three or more goals in three games and are desperate to find consistent goaltending. Lyon allowed three goals on 27 shots (.889 SV%) in his only start of the season but was excellent in relief of Cam Talbot in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the New York Rangers when he saved all 15 shots he faced.
In their third game of the season, the Red Wings will turn to Lyon in net, marking a different starting goalie in each game.

The Red Wings enter action on Monday as +187 road underdogs against the New York Rangers.
