Lyon, who had been stellar in net, stopping all 14 shots he faced, was replaced by backup goaltender Trey Augustine. Despite the concerning injury, Team USA rallied and secured a convincing 6-1 victory over their German opponents.
The game started on a promising note for the Americans, with Lyon showcasing his prowess between the pipes. His calm demeanor and quick reflexes kept the German offense at bay, frustrating their attempts to find the back of the net.
However, the mood shifted abruptly when Lyon went down in a heap after a collision in the crease. The sight of the Red Wings netminder clutching his hand in visible pain sent shockwaves through the arena, as medical personnel rushed to his aid. Let's hope he can make a swift recovery.
