Lyon has Rough Night in Colorado
Alex Lyon allowed five goals on 40 shots in Wednesday’s 7-2 loss to the Avalanche. Lyon didn’t stand much of a chance Wednesday, facing a whopping 40 shots in just two periods before he was relieved by James Reimer to start the third. Lyon was ultimately stuck with the loss. It’s been a tough stretch for the 31-year-old Lyon — he’s lost three consecutive starts, allowing four goals or more in each outing. Overall, Lyon is 18-11-2 with a .910 save percentage and 2.89 GAA on the season. The Red Wings will try to bounce back Friday in a road matchup versus Arizona.
Keller Scores in Losing Effort
Clayton Keller scored a power-play goal, but Arizona lost 5-2 to Minnesota on Thursday. Keller scored his team-leading 23rd goal. He’s played well, but things have been hard in Arizona. The team is 2-14-2 over the last 18 games. Not only that, but key players are likely to depart before the trade deadline. Keller is a highly skilled player who has 53 points in 59 games, but it’s increasingly hard to see Arizona players reaching their upside consistently.
