Alex Lyon | Fantasy Outlook
Alex Lyon offers quality tandem value and steady ratios in Buffalo's net
Alex Lyon enters the season in a tandem arrangement in Buffalo alongside Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, functioning as a primary starter (1A). Coming off an impressive 2025 campaign where he tallied 22 wins with a 2.40 GAA and a .910 save percentage across 40 games, the veteran netminder has established himself as a reliable stabilizer in net.
Our season projection anticipates Lyon seeing around 34 games, posting 20 wins, a 2.77 GAA, and a .907 save percentage alongside 3 shutouts. Given his late-round ADP near 185, Lyon represents strong draft value for fantasy managers looking to solidify their depth at goaltender without committing early draft capital.
While sharing the crease naturally caps his total save volume compared to true workhorses, Lyon’s efficiency and high win conversion make him an ideal fantasy depth asset or high-end streaming target in standard leagues.
