Bishop is expected to start Tuesday in Detroit.

Bishop allowed three goals on 20 shots in the Lightning’s loss to the Sharks on Saturday. With Andrei Vasilevskiy starting last night, look for Bishop to face the Red Wings tonight. Bishop hasn’t had the best first 10 games, posting a 5-5-0 record with a 2.93 GAA and .903 SV%. However, he has a good matchup against a Red Wings team that is struggling to score right now.

Bishop’s overall numbers aren’t great, but he remains a high-end fantasy option and tonight he takes on the Panthers for the second time this season—he stopped 28 of 31 shots in a shootout win in the first meeting.

Reimer will make his Panthers debut on Tuesday.

Roberto Luongo started the first two games of the year, but Reimer will get his first start tonight in Tampa Bay. The 28-year-old had a great 2015-16 season with the Maple Leafs and Sharks, totalling a 17-14-7 record, 2.31 GAA and .922 SV%. With Luongo getting up there in age, Reimer is expected to see more starts than your average backup which makes him rosterable in deeper formats.

Bishop is in the starter's crease at the Lightning's morning skate.

Bishop surrendered four goals on 32 shots in the Lightning’s 6-4 win over the Red Wings on Thursday. Bishop wasn’t at his best on Thursday, but did enough to earn his first win of the season. One of the goals was a bizarre dump-in that took a weird bounce off of the glass on-net and subsequently by Bishop. The Lightning netminder will have better nights and Saturday might be one of those nights with the Devils in town.
