Sabres Sign Alex Lyon to Two-Year Deal

News summary

The Buffalo Sabres have signed veteran goaltender Alex Lyon to a two-year, $3 million contract, adding experience and depth to their goaltending corps. Lyon, 32, played the past two seasons with the Detroit Red Wings, posting a 14-9-1 record, 2.81 goals-against average, and .896 save percentage in 30 games last season. Over his NHL career, Lyon has a 51-38-11 record, 2.99 GAA, and .902 save percentage with the Flyers, Hurricanes, Panthers, and Red Wings. Notably, he played a pivotal 2023 game for the Panthers that kept Buffalo out of the playoffs. While the Red Wings hoped to keep him as their third goalie, the Sabres offered a better opportunity. Lyon is expected to serve as a reliable backup to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and could step in as starter if needed.
