Alex Lyon is the BEST GOALIE on the Buffalo Sabres... for now

Lindy Ruff utilized a goalie rotation last season that got his team to the playoffs and into Round 2. Despite even regular seasons from Alex Lyon and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, previous seasons and the playoffs show that Lyon is the best goalie on the Sabres roster. Even if he isn't treated like it. Lyon has been an NHL regular now for four years and his numbers blow UPL's out of the water. Lyon's playoffs were solid in totality, but the lasting image many fans have of him is giving up three consecutive goals to the Canadiens in Game 6, a game the Sabres needed to win to keep their season alive. Will Lyon see a depleted workload in 2026-27? Plus, why Lyon is the perfect partner for Connor Hellebuyck, should the Sabres finish off the mega-trade. Lyon would allow Hellebuyck to play fewer games in the regular season, keeping him fresher for the postseason.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
