Alex Lyon Carrying Panthers With Historic Run
2 years agoFlorida Panthers goaltender Alex Lyon made history in Saturday's 4-2 win over Washington, becoming the first netminder in franchise history to record a six-game winning streak during his first season with the team. He pushed aside 22 shots to improve to 9-3-1 for the campaign. Lyon had a pretty tough time in his first few appearances but has now been one of the hottest goalies in the league as of late, giving up two or fewer goals in each of the six games during his winning streak. He needs to produce a pair of similar performances in the final week of the regular season for Florida to hang on to its playoff spot. It's not going to be easy, with Lyon and the Panthers facing two top teams in Toronto and Carolina.
