Lyon Will Guard the Cage Friday for Red Wings
Alex Lyon will be in goal against Carolina on the road Friday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports. Lyon continues to earn his share of the net, posting a 5-0-1 record, 2.62 GAA and .927 save percentage over his last six outings. At this point, there is little reason to expect the Minnesota native to suddenly see a downturn in opportunities, so fantasy players should expect him to continue getting the nod ahead of James Reimer.
Raana Pulled After Allowing Four Goals
Antti Raanta was pulled early in the third period of Monday’s 5-2 loss to the Kings. Raanta had a rough night. He was able to make all of his saves on the power play but allowed four goals on only 19 even-strength shots. It was a tie game going into the third period but Raanta allowed three consecutive goals in just over four minutes before being pulled for teammate Yaniv Perets. This was the fourth straight start for Raanta — he posted a save percentage above .950 in all three previous games. Raanta could get an opportunity to try and bounce back against Detroit on Friday.
