An update on the health of Alex Lyon as he nears his return for the Red Wings ahead of tomorrow night's game against the Penguins

DETROIT – Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon returned to practice Tuesday and appears close to returning to the lineup. Lyon has missed two games with a lower-body injury suffered in practice last week. “Just had a little hiccup there, but feeling better now and body’s good to go and excited and itching to get a start,” Lyon said.

Alex Lyon returned to practice Tuesday, after having suffered a lower-body injury Thursday. That forced the Wings to recall Ville Husso from Grand Rapids the next day, with Cam Talbot starting Friday and Husso Saturday, while Lyon was getting healthy.
