Alex Lyon Slated for Solid Workload in Buffalo Sabres Goaltending Timeshare

Although projected as Buffalo's secondary goaltender, Alex Lyon is slated to receive a solid workload and split duties rather than hold a traditional backup role. Head coach Lindy Ruff confirmed the team will share crease time. Lyon posted a 20-10-4 record, 2.77 GAA, and .906 save percentage across 36 games last year, and he is expected to share playing time primarily with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Colten Ellis.
