Lyon has been on injured reserve with an upper-body injury after exiting a December 16th contest against the Philadelphia Flyers in the second period. In his absence, the Red Wings, also without Ville Husso, went 1-5-0 while relying predominantly on James Reimer. Before his injury, Lyon was stellar, allowing one goal or fewer in four of his last six games (4-2-0), posting a tremendous .938 SV%. The Red Wings will face off against the Nashville Predators, who have lost two straight games (0-2-0).

Ville Husso will likely see the majority of the action while Lyon is out, with James Reimer serving as the backup.

Lyon will start on Saturday against the team he made his NHL debut with, the Philadelphia Flyers, whom he played sparingly with between the 2017-18 and 2020-21 seasons. Lyon has undoubtedly been the Red Wings' best goaltender since making his debut with the team approximately one month ago but has not played the last three games. He is coming off his worst performance of the season, allowing four goals on 25 shots (.840 SV%) in a 5-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators on December 9th, but still has an impressive 2.13 GAA and .931 SV% in six games this season (4-2-0).

Lyon was a revelation for the Panthers in the season's final months, picking up points in seven of his last eight starts while posting a 9-4-2 record, with a 2.89 GAA and .914 SV%.
