Lyon is in Detroit's starter's crease at morning skate.

The Red Wings are riding a four-game winning streak, three with Lyon between the pipes, and will likely turn to him again on Tuesday against the Ottawa Senators.

That said, the 32-year-old Lyon has battled adversity this season, posting a 2.78 GAA and .899 SV% in 15 appearances (8-5-0). The Red Wings enter Tuesday's contest as +102 home underdogs against a Senators squad outscored 8-2 during a two-game losing skid (0-2-0).
