Bishop made his Flames debut last season, scoring one point (1G / 0A) in six games, but spent most of the 2024-25 season in the AHL, tallying 38 points (19G / 19A) in 66 games. The 29-year-old Bishop's career-high was 20 NHL games in the 2018-19 season, a feat that will likely be surpassed in the 2025-26 season after signing a one-way contract.
