Alex Lyon’s costume: The starting goalie
Ahead of his start against the Bruins on Thursday night, Lyon was one of nine goalies with an above average GSAx in each of the last four seasons. The others: Connor Hellebuyck, Igor Shesterkin, Jake Oettinger, Sergei Bobrovsky, Frederik Andersen, Lukas Dostal, Anthony Stolarz and Stuart Skinner. All are starters.
In 97 games in that span, Lyon is plus-25 in GSAx. Backup Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, on the other hand, is at 1.3 in 143 games. The net should be Lyon’s, rough night against the Bruins aside.
