2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lyon had a 14-9-1 record, 2.81 GAA and .896 save percentage in 30 appearances with Detroit in 2024-25. While those numbers aren’t impressive, Detroit wasn’t a great team defensively, and Lyon’s plus-2.4 goals saved above expected suggests he held his own. With that work behind him, Lyon joined Buffalo over the summer on a two-year deal. It’s an interesting situation because Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen has shown promise, but he hasn’t done enough to gain a full lock on Buffalo’s starter role. Meanwhile, Devon Levi has failed to establish himself at the NHL level despite his substantial potential. There’s a path for Lyon to steal the No. 1 job for significant stretches, but it’s also possible he eventually finds himself as the No. 3 option. Pencil Lyon in for 20-30 games with mediocre results, but keep in the back of your mind that there’s plenty of room for variance. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $3 million contract with the Sabres in July of 2025.
Wins 11th game in last 12 starts
Lyon made 38 saves in a 5-3 win over Florida on Monday.
ANALYSIS
It his 11th win in his past 12 starts. Lyon continues to explore uncharted territory this season. The 33-year-old netminder has never achieved the kind of success he has seen this year. Lyon is 14-7-3 with a dazzling 2.66 GAA, .914 save percentage and two shutouts in 24 starts (26 appearances). Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) hit the IR on Monday, and the extent of his injury is unknown. UPL is supposed to pull on a Finnish jersey at the Olympics, but that remains to be seen; so does his recovery arc. Lyon King's success will keep him in the blue paint a lot post-Olympics anyway -- the Sabres will play whomever will take them to the Stanley Cup promised land.

2018
Lyon had a remarkable season for the Wings in 2023-24, becoming the starter after inking a deal to be the team's third stringer. With 39 previous NHL games on his resume, the journeyman played in 44 games last season, delivering a 21-18-5 record, 3.05 GAA and .904 save percentage. Lyon carried that momentum into the IIHF Worlds for Team USA, stopping 47 of 50 shots through two tournament games before suffering a finger injury. If he's healthy, Lyon will battle Ville Husso to back up newcomer Cam Talbot and get 25-plus starts in the role. Worst case, the Wings carry both Lyon and Husso into the season, and the game-splits all but eliminate any fantasy value for both men.
