Bishop stopped 14 of 14 shots in the Stars shutout win over the Islanders on Friday. It was about as easy as a shutout gets in the NHL and was Bishop’s seventh win of the season and just his second in his last six games. Tonight he faces the Hurricanes for the second time this season—he stopped 36 of 39 shots in a 4-3 win in the first meeting.
Bishop allowed three goals on 25 shots in the Stars loss to the Jets on Monday. After a hot-start with the Stars, Bishop has now lost four of his last five starts while posting a 3.64 GAA and .887 SV%.

Bishop allowed four goals on 26 shots in the Stars’ loss in Winnipeg last Thursday. Kari Lehtonen started on Saturday, so Bishop gets the nod tonight vs. the Jets. The 30-year-old netminder has gone 4-0-0 with a 1.48 GAA and .948 SV% on home-ice this season, but the Jets come in with points in seven straight (4-0-3) while averaging 3.43 goals for per game.
Bishop stopped 38 of 39 shots in the Stars’ win in Vancouver on Monday. After a couple of rough starts, Bishop bounced-back in a big way and finished October with six wins, a 2.51 GAA and .920 SV%.

Bishop gave up five goals on 35 shots in the Stars’ loss in Edmonton last Thursday. After a solid start to the season, Bishop has now gone 2-2-0 while allowing a combined 15 goals on 122 shots (.877 SV%) in his last four starts. Despite Kari Lehtonen getting the win on Friday, the Stars will go back to Bishop tonight in Vancouver.
Bishop was pulled after allowing three goals on 17 shots in the Stars’ loss in Colorado on Tuesday.

It was his worst start to date and comes in at 5-1-0 with a 2.38 GAA and .920 SV% in eight games.
Bishop surrendered three goals on 39 shots in the Stars win over the Hurricanes on Saturday. Bishop has been exactly what the Stars were hoping they got when they signed him this offseason—he has gone 5-1-0 with a 2.09 GAA and .928 SV% in seven starts this season, including a win against the Avalanche, who he will face again tonight—consider him a must-start yet again.
Bishop stopped 27 of 28 shots in the Stars’ win over the Coyotes on Tuesday. Bishop has been excellent in his first five starts, going 3-1-0 with a 1.49 GAA and .944 SV% with his new team. He is a must-start again tonight as he faces Adin Hill and the Coyotes for the second straight game.
Cole has missed the last three games after taking a puck to the mouth vs. the Predators on October 7th. Cole has been cleared to play tonight, but it remains to be seen if he will actually draw into the lineup. The Penguins have listed him as a game-time decision so monitor his status as they hit the ice for warmups.
Bishop stopped 22 of 23 shots in the Stars’ 3-1 win over the Avalanche on Saturday. Bishop has enjoyed a great start to the season with his new team, posting a 1.62 GAA and .938 SV% en route to a 2-1-0 start. He is a must-start tonight against a Coyotes team that has started the year 0-4-1 with 2.20 goals for per game.
Cole has missed the last three games with a mouth injury, but it looks like he could draw back into the lineup on Tuesday. Cole’s return will help the Penguins’ blueline, but he doesn’t have a lot of fantasy relevance.
Bishop gave up three goals on 30 shots in the Stars’ loss in Nashville on Thursday. Bishop has played very well to start his Dallas career, stopping 69 of the 74 shots (.932 SV%) he has faced in two and a half games. Tonight he will take on a Colorado team that is off to a great start as well—however they come in on the tail-end of a back-to-back.
Bishop stopped 23 of 25 shots in the Stars’ win over the Red Wings on Tuesday. Through one and a half starts with Dallas, Bishop has turned away 42 of 44 shots (.955 SV%) and tonight he will make his third start of the season in Nashville. The Predators come in at 1-2-0 while averaging 3.00 goals for per game so far.
Bishop stopped all 19 shots that he faced before being pulled from the Stars season opener with a concussion. Kari Lehtonen started the following night, but Bishop is ready to get back in the crease tonight vs. the Red Wings. His Stars debut was strong and he has been great against Detroit during his career with the Lightning.
Cole was smashed in the face by a Roman Josi slapshot on Saturday, resulting in some lost teeth and a mangled mouth. Cole obviously has some discomfort after the gruesome shot block, so look for Chad Ruhwedel to replace him on the blueline tomorrow.
