Lyon returns to Detroit's crease on Tuesday vs. Washington after backing up in the second half of a back-to-back on Sunday. The 31-year-old has been a godsend for the playoff-hungry Red Wings', who signed a one-year contract in the offseason and is 17-8-2 with a 2.68 GAA and .916 SV%. He will face the surprisingly hot Washington Capitals on Tuesday, who are coming off a 6-3 win over Ottawa on Monday and have won four of their last five games.
