Bishop stopped 28 of 29 shots and had a small dust-up with Habs forward Brandon Prust in Saturday's 2-1 OT win.

Bishop was hit in the back of the head by a teammates skate early in Thursday's game. The fact that he skated this morning is a good sign, but back-up Anders Lindback is out, so if Bishop can't go on Saturday the Lightning will be forced to recall two goalies.

Bishop said he was feeling better after the game, but will be reevaluated Friday.

Bishop missed the last four games with a sprained wrist but is ready to be activated from IR and dress tonight. Bishop has become one of fantasy's elite backstops this season, monitor his status tomorrow and get him in your lineup if he starts.
As expected, Bishop is on the ice with the team this morning testing out his sprained wrist. Bishop is eligible to come off of IR for next Tuesday's game in New York vs. the Rangers.
A sprained wrist is pretty much the best case scenario for Bishop. He should not miss an extended period of time, but Anders Lindback becomes the Tampa starter until at least next Tuesday.
Bishop definitely won't play tomorrow, doesn't think it's serious but taking it day by day right now. Expect Cedrick Desjardins to be recalled to backup Anders Lindback on Tuesday.
There is no word on the nature or severity of the injury and the Lightning are expected to update his status in the afternoon following x-rays. It would be a terrible loss for the Lightning if Bishop were to miss an extended period of time. Stay tuned.
